A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
declaring an IntConsumer like this:

        int z;
        IntConsumer iConsumer = (a) -> z;

gives a compilation error: "Void methods cannot return a value". Ok

But like this :

        int z;
        IntConsumer iConsumer = (a) -> Function.identity().apply(z);

When Function.identity().apply(z) returns an Object, no compilation error here.

Shouldn't also give a compilation error?


STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Please check code sample

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Compilation error
ACTUAL -
No compilation error

---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
int z;
IntConsumer iConsumer = (a) -> Function.identity().apply(z);
---------- END SOURCE ----------
