      ```

      STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
      put this code in a file named "Foo.java" and run "javac Foo.java"
      ```
      interface Bar<T> {
          T bar();
      }

      public class Foo {

          static <T> void foo(Bar<T> iterable) {
          }

          private void run() {
              foo(() -> new Bar<>() {
                  @Override
                  public String bar() {
                      return "";
                  }
              });
          }
      }
      ```

      EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
      EXPECTED -
      the compiler emits a meaningful error message
      ACTUAL -
      the compiler crashes asking for a bug report submission

      ---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
      interface Bar<T> {
          T bar();
      }

      public class Foo {

          static <T> void foo(Bar<T> iterable) {
          }

          private void run() {
              foo(() -> new Bar<>() {
                  @Override
                  public String bar() {
                      return "";
                  }
              });
          }
      }
      ---------- END SOURCE ----------

      CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
      avoid diamond operator usage

      FREQUENCY : always
