Kotlin compilation bug: KotlinFrontEndException

1

My code:

// ... unimportant
companion object LineGetter {
 @JvmField
 val BUFFER_SIZE = 2048

// ... unimportant

It compiles fine, works fine.
But when I changed 2048 into 1024 and run gradle build, it gives me error:

e: org.jetbrains.kotlin.util.KotlinFrontEndException: Front-end Internal error: Failed to analyze declaration AudioPlayer
Cause: java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 0

I’m using Kotlin 1.2.0 with gradle 4.0.

It doesn’t affect much since I can rebuild it and no error appears.
Now I changed @JvmField into const and rerun gradle build, everything goes fine.

It’s just a rare bug.

This problem is caused by corrupt incremental compilation caches; a clean rebuild will solve it.
