> I have a statically compiled with a method declares Generic type T as it's return type and accepts a parameter of type java.util.function.BiFunction also with return type T. It makes a call to the passed in BiFunction and assigns the the result to a variable of type T.
> {code:java}
> static <T> T actionWrapperT(BiFunction<Date, URL, T> action) {
>         T result = action.apply(new Date(), new URL('http://www.example.com'))
>         // do something else here
>         return result
>     }
> {code}
> When actionWrapperT is called with runtime type of T as something other the Date, it causes a GroovyCastException.
> {panel}
> org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.typehandling.GroovyCastException: Cannot cast object 'XXX@71b1176b' with class 'XXX' to class 'java.util.Date'
> {panel}
> because it incorrectly tries to cast result type Date rather than to .
> It appears to me that the compiler is conflating generic type T as declared for the generic method with generic type T as declared by BiFunction<T,U,R> because if I change the name of the generic type of the generic method to R (to match the return type name of BiFunction) or to some other name not used by BiFunction, then it works correctly, but if I change it to U to match the second parameter of the BiFunction then it fails trying to cast to the BiFunction generic type U instead of the method generic type U.
> Problem does not happen under normal compilation or with only type checking enabled.
> Attached file Bug.groovy reproduces the problem.
