[jira] [Commented] (GROOVY-10917) Inconsistency when accessing protected fields

["Eric Milles (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-10917?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17683490#comment-17683490 ] 

Eric Milles commented on GROOVY-10917:
--------------------------------------

EventObject provides public {{getSource()}} method, so "new EventObject(null).source" is a property access.

> I have the following program

> class Main {
>   static public final void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
>     Object x = new EventObject(null).source;

> }
> {code}
> h3. Actual behavior
> {code}
> org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException: startup failed:
> test.groovy: 7: Access to java.io.PushbackInputStream#pos is forbidden @ line 7, column 15.
>        int pos = new PushbackInputStream(null).pos
>                  ^
> 1 error
> {code}
> h3. Expected behavior
> Report errors for both field accesses since "pos" and "source" are protected fields.
> See https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/docs/api/java.base/java/util/EventObject.html
> Tested against master (commit: 5a5726342adeb37a6fbaa8cdcbe2d47dee8dc56c)
