Type inference of non-existent method references crashes the compiler

[Victor Williams Stafusa da Silva]

Hi.
I just created a new bug report titled "Type inference of non-existent
method references crashes the compiler"

Basically, the following code crashes the compiler (1.8.0_05) with a
NullPointerException:

class TestBug<T> {
    static TestBug<String> bug() {
        return new TestBug<>(TestBug::doNotExists);
    }
}

I am new to this discussion list and just want to know if somebody already
saw that bug before.
