----------------------------------------------

             Summary: STC does not catch the type error when a generic is instantiated with bounded type parameter
                 Key: GROOVY-10977
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-10977
             Project: Groovy
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Static Type Checker
            Reporter: Thodoris Sotiropoulos


Probably this is a regression, because groovyc 4.0.10 catches the error.
Program:

{code}
import java.util.*;

public class Test {

    public static <T extends Number> void test() {
      List<T> d = null;
      d.add(false);
    }
}
{code}

h3. Actual behavior

Groovyc compiles the  code

h3. Expected behavior

Groovyc rejects the code with a message of the form:

{code}
org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException: startup failed:
test.groovy: 8: [Static type checking] - Cannot find matching method java.util.List#add(boolean). Please check if the declared type is correct and if the method exists.
 @ line 8, column 7.
         d.add(false);
         ^

1 error
{code}


Tested against master
