Description

Probably not serious, but put this in groovyConsole and compile…

class OtherThing {
    OtherThing() {
        def v = null
        v.hashCode()
    }
}

You'll get an NPE for the v.hashCode() line. If you add another statement before the class def (e.g. def c = null) it doesn't happen.

Weird.
