Description

If @DelegatesTo tells that the delegate is a Java class (which doesn't implement GroovyObject), then the static compiler generates wrong bytecode, like in the following example:

class MyHandlers {
              def handler(@DelegatesTo(GroovyContext) Closure<?> c) {
                def l = new GroovyContext()
                c.delegate = l
                c.call()
              }
              def execute() {
                handler {
                  request.headers.bar
                }
              }

            }
