• Type: Bug
• Status: Closed
• Priority: Major
• Resolution: Fixed
• Fix Version/s: 4.0.0-alpha-1, 3.0.6, 2.5.16

Description

class Foo {
    private int i = 1
    @groovy.transform.CompileStatic
    def m() { new String().with {++i}}
}
assert new Foo().m() == 2
class Bar extends Foo {}
assert new Bar().m() == 2

The static compiler is unable to generate code which handles the mutation of a private field like in the example above.
