class Foo {
Foo(String s) {}
Foo(Date d) {
println "call to this() must be the first statement of a ctor"this(d.toString())
}
}
new Foo(new Date())
In the snippet above, I'm calling this() after a println call.
But in Java, it is mandatory that calls to this() or super() inside a constructor are the first statements of the block.
Here I get the following stacktrace:
groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: Foo.call() is applicable for argument types: (java.lang.String) values: {Fri May 16 23:48:20 CEST 2008}
at Foo.invokeMethod(Script35)
at Foo.<init>(Script35:6)
at Script35.run(Script35:10)
The compiler should check that calls to this() or super() are done as the first statement, and not afterwards.
