BeanCreationException when using c-namespace, Kotlin class with default constructor and annotation configuration [SPR-16289]

[spring-issuemaster]

Alexander Chernikov opened SPR-16289 and commented

#20571 is fixed in Spring 5.0.2.
However, I've found minor sub-case when using c-namespace.

Dummy Kotlin:

package cr.spr16022

import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration
import org.springframework.context.annotation.ImportResource
import org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext
import org.springframework.context.annotation.AnnotationConfigApplicationContext

class KotlinCtor(val intVal: Int) {
    constructor(p: String) : this(p.length)
}

class KotlinQtor() {
    constructor(p: String) : this()
}

@Configuration @ImportResource("cr.xml") class KotlinAnnotator

object Main {
    @JvmStatic fun main(args: Array<String>) {
        val contextXml = ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("cr.xml")
//        val contextAnn = AnnotationConfigApplicationContext(KotlinAnnotator::class.java)
    }
}

Beans definition:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
       xmlns:c="http://www.springframework.org/schema/c"
       xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
       xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd">

    <bean class="cr.spr16022.KotlinCtor" name="ctor0s" c:p="a"/>
    <bean class="cr.spr16022.KotlinQtor" name="qtor0s" c:p="a"/>
</beans>

Run this dummy main(): no problems.
Uncomment contextAnn declaration and initialization, re-run: fail:

Thank you, works for me in 5.0.3.
