Description

I have a class extending a base class implementing a toString() method. Making the code CompileStatic I get a ClassCassException. Without CompileStatic all is fine.

String test = myClazz.toString() I get the ClassCastException with myClazz could not be cast to String. Debugging is also strange, I can't get to the base class implementation of toString.

Interrestingly, the implizit call of toString() is functioning:

String test = myClazz  All is fine. Debugging also, the toString method is called

 

There seems a bug in CompileStatic. Something is scrambled.
