Description

When I was trying to call constructor from anonymous class, I catch strange exception

Could not find matching constructor for: A$B(A$_foo_closure1)

Here is a reproduction

interface I {
    void bar(Object o)
}
class A {
    void foo(){
        C c = new C()
        ['1','2','3'].each {
            obj ->
                c.baz(obj, new I() {
                    @Override
                    void bar(Object o) {
                        B b = new B(  )

                    }
                })
        }
    }
    class B {

    }
}
class C {
    void baz(Object o, I i) {
        i.bar(o)
    }
}
A a = new A()
a.foo()

When my inner class have fields, exception is slightly different

GroovyRuntimeException: Could not find matching constructor for: A$B(A$_foo_closure1, java.util.LinkedHashMap)
