Please review this simple patch:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~mcimadamore/8191834/
If the type of a 'var' initializer is void, javac silently swallows it
and then throws an error at code gen (righteously so :-)).
I tested for other edge cases such as error types, but could not
reproduce similar failures (as in those case we never get to Gen -
because of some error).
Cheers
Maurizio
