> The parser in 2.5, 2.6, 3.0 gives a MultipleCompilationErrorsException on code that compiled successfully in 2.4
> {code:java|title=Code that fails to compile on 2.6.0-alpha-1}
> class A {
> static String g() { }
> A() {
> this({g()}) // It is ok to create a closure that calls g() in a constructor, but not if it is being passed into this().
> }
> A(a) { }
> }
> {code}
> {code:java|title=compilation error message}
> $ groovyc test.groovy
> org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException: startup failed:
> test.groovy: 4: Can't access instance method 'g' before the class is constructed
> @ line 4, column 15.
> this({g()}) // It is ok to create a closure that calls g() in a constructor, but not if it is being passed into this().
> ^
> 1 error
> {code}
> My opinion is that groovy should allow users to call a static method inside a constructor before the instance has been fully constructed, but I'm not aware of the details of why this is disallowed in 2.6.0-alpha-1.
