Description

I am using `linkedlist` as a stack in groovy

as doc says, `pop()` take elm from the first

Stack Method Equivalent Deque Method
push(e) addFirst(e)
pop() removeFirst()

so a `linkedlist` [1,2,3] should pop() 1 2 3

and it does in Java, but does NOT in groovy. WHY?

test below

A.java

import java.util.*;
    
public class A{
    
    
    public static void main(String[] args){
    
        String[] x = "1/2/3/".split("/");
        LinkedList <String> stack = new LinkedList<String>(Arrays.asList(x));
        System.out.println(stack.pop());
    }
}

compile and run

$ javac A.java
$ java A
1

runing in groovy

    
$ ln -s A.java A.groovy
$ groovy A.groovy
3

here is my java and groovy version

$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_51"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_51-b11-457-11M4509)

$ groovy -version
