[jira] [Updated] (GROOVY-8330) Wrong 'Inconvertible types' error on casting interface

["Alexey Afanasiev (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-8330?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Alexey Afanasiev updated GROOVY-8330:
-------------------------------------
    Description: 
{code}
import groovy.transform.CompileStatic

interface A1{}
interface A2 extends A1{}
        
class C1 implements A1{}
class C2 extends C1 implements A2 {}
        
@CompileStatic
def m(A2 a2) {
       C1 c1 = (C1) a2 // There is error here now: Inconvertible types: cannot cast A2 to C1
}
{code}

JLS handle this situation in 5.1.6.1 :
__A narrowing reference conversion exists from reference type S to reference type T
if ......  - S is an interface type, T is a class type, and T does not name a final class.__

  was:
{code}
import groovy.transform.CompileStatic

interface A1{}
interface A2 extends A1{}
        
class C1 implements A1{}
class C2 extends C1 implements A2 {}
        
@CompileStatic
def m(A2 a2) {
       C1 c1 = (C1) a2 // There is error here now: Inconvertible types: cannot cast A2 to C1
}
{code}

JLS handle this situation in 5.1.6.1 :
_A narrowing reference conversion exists from reference type S to reference type T
if ......  - S is an interface type, T is a class type, and T does not name a final class._
