> When constructing an AssertionError for example, it has a public constructor taking Object and a private constructor taking String. The static compiler "chooses" the private constructor over the public one and this results in a compile error.
> {code}
> @groovy.transform.CompileStatic
> void doIt() {
>   //Cannot call private constructor for java.lang.AssertionError. However, it should call AssertionError(Object)
>   throw new AssertionError("abc")
> }
> {code}
