> h3. Calling an instance method on super in a non-derived class.
> {code}
> class T { void m() { super.m() } }
> new T().m() 
> {code}
> This results in the below exception.
> {noformat}
> ERROR groovy.lang.MissingMethodException:
> No signature of method: T.m() is applicable for argument types: () values: []
> Possible solutions: m(), is(java.lang.Object), dump(), any(), any(groovy.lang.Closure), use([Ljava.lang.Object;)
> {noformat}
> This can be quite confusion as the called method on super is also listed in the possible solutions. The error message should be a different one.
> h3. Calling a static method on super in a non-derived class.
> {code}
> class T { static void m() { super.m() } }
> T.m() 
> {code}
> This results in the below stack overflow.
> {noformat}
> ERROR java.lang.StackOverflowError:
> null
>         at T.$getCallSiteArray (groovysh_evaluate)
>         at T.m (groovysh_evaluate)

>         at T.m (groovysh_evaluate:2)
