ADDITIONAL SYSTEM INFORMATION :
Tested on 64-bit Windows 10 build 17713 with jdk-11-ea+24, jdk-10.0.2, and jdk1.8u181.

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
If there are two possible targets for a lambda (say, an overloaded method), one which is Runnable, and one which is a Supplier<?>, and the lambda does not return anything, but does return abnormally i.e. contains an unconditional throw statement, the compiler infers that the lambda is a Supplier even though a lambda which returns void can never be a Supplier.

The code won't actually produce a ClassCastException since calling get() on the Supplier will always throw, and any attempts I have made to alter the code to avoid throwing have caused it to switch back to compiling it to Runnable. However, I worry that I have not been clever enough, and there may be a way to get it to cause a ClassCastException at runtime after all.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Compile the attached test case, then examine the bytecode with javap -c Bug

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Both the call with the lambda that prints and the call with the lambda that throws should be Runnable.
ACTUAL -
The first call is with a Runnable, but the second call is with a Supplier<Integer>, even though the lambda cannot possibly be a Supplier<Integer>. The bytecode for the main method produced by javac from jdk-11 is as follows:

  public static void main(java.lang.String[]);
    Code:
       0: invokedynamic #2, 0 // InvokeDynamic #0:run:()Ljava/lang/Runnable;
       5: invokestatic #3 // Method method:(Ljava/lang/Runnable;)V
       8: invokedynamic #4, 0 // InvokeDynamic #1:get:()Ljava/util/function/Supplier;
      13: invokestatic #5 // Method method:(Ljava/util/function/Supplier;)V
      16: return

The first call is with Runnable, as expected. The second call, with Supplier, is erroneous.
