## Motivation
|
||||
|
||||
#### Locals have the highest priority
|
||||
|
||||
A variable of function type goes before members:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
class A { fun foo() = 1 }
|
||||
|
||||
fun test(a: A, foo: () -> Int) {
|
||||
with (a) {
|
||||
foo()
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
In anonymous objects local variables are chosen, not members:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
interface A {
|
||||
val foo: Int
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
fun createA(foo: Int) = object : A {
|
||||
override val foo = foo
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Top-level scope chain
|
||||
|
||||
The priorities: explicit imports; functions in the same package; star-imports; function from stdlib.
|
||||
|
||||
Explicit import should hide descriptors imported by `*`.
|
||||
|
||||
There is no scope for file, because moving a function to another file in the same package should not change the resolution.
|
||||
|
||||
The function imported explicitly goes before the function from the same package; the latter one may live in another file.
|
||||
|
||||
#### The order of implicit receivers
|
||||

||||

|

|
||||
## Technical notes
|
||||
|
||||
When we resolve a property `foo` for a call `foo()` we don't stop on the first property, but instead we collect all variables with the name `foo` and for each of them try to find the `invoke` function:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
class A {
|
||||
val foo: () -> Unit = { println("Hello world!") }
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
fun test(foo: Int) {
|
||||
with(A()) {
|
||||
foo // parameter
|
||||
foo() // property + invoke
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
