This directive generates TailCallOptimizationChecker in package helpers. The check for tail call optimization is based on coroutine stack traces bug (feature?): when tail call optimization hits, the continuation object is not generated. Thus, there is no debug metadata for this suspend function. Consequently, the coroutines stack trace does not contain stack trace element for that function. This check is performed by TailCallOptimizationChecker. Since this is runtime check, unlike bytecode tests, it does not require test data adjustments on each codegen or inliner change. Since the check is based on debug metadata, which is JVM specific, there is not support for other backends yet.
JavaScript Translation
This module performs the translation of Kotlin source code to JavaScript.
There are various Kotlin APIs to JavaScript environments in the standard library.
Compiling the Kotlin Standard Library for JavaScript
The Kotlin Standard Library for JS is built with gradle, see the corresponding module's ReadMe.
Reusing JVM based test cases in JavaScript
Any Kotlin test cases using the org.junit.Test annotation and the kotlin.test package, such as this test case are automatically converted to JavaScript using QUnit.
This allows the test cases to be run directly in a web page in any web browser.
Using the Kotlin Library in JavaScript
There is a simple sample which shows how to use the Kotlin Standard Library from inside JavaScript in a web page.
