[jira] [Updated] (GROOVY-8454) Method with wrong argument typed is called when passing 'null'

["Paul King (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-8454?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Paul King updated GROOVY-8454:
------------------------------
    Description: 
The output of the following code is 'Map:  null' instead of 'String: null'
{code:java}
class Stat {
    def static m(String s) {
        println 'String: ' + s
    }

    def static m(Map m) {
        println 'Map: ' + m
    }
}

class Main {

    def run() {
        String n = null
        Stat.m(n)
    }

    def static void main(String ... args) {
        new Main().run()
    }
}
{code}
To get the correct output I must explicitly cast the null value to String.
{code:java}
Stat.m((String)n)
{code}

}

def class Main {

    def run() {
        String n = null
        Stat.m(n)
    }

    def static void main(String ... args) {
        new Main().run()
    }

{code}

{code:java}
Stat.m((String)n){code}
