Description

@groovy.transform.CompileStatic
class Client {
	static class Builder {
		int a

		Client build() {
			return new Client(a)
		}
	}

	int b
	private Client(int b) {
		this.b = b
	}
}

final client = new Client.Builder(a : 1).build()
println client.b

produces the error

Caught: java.lang.IllegalAccessError: tried to access method Client.<init>(I)V from class Client$Builder
java.lang.IllegalAccessError: tried to access method Client.<init>(I)V from class Client$Builder
	at Client$Builder.build(test1.groovy:7)
	at Client$Builder$build.call(Unknown Source)
	at test1.run(test1.groovy:17)

but produces the correct result (1), without the @CompileStatic
