## Code Generation for Standard Library
|
|
|
|
Some of the code in the standard library is created by code generation based on templates.
|
|
For example, many Array methods need to be implemented separately for Array<T>, ByteArray, ShortArray, IntArray, etc.
|
|
|
|
To run the code generator from a kotlin checkout
|
|
|
|
cd libraries/tools/kotlin-stdlib-gen
|
|
mvn compile exec:java
|
|
|
|
This then runs the [GenerateStandardLib.kt](https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin/blob/master/libraries/tools/kotlin-stdlib-gen/src/generators/GenerateStandardLib.kt) script to create the source from the files for java.lang.Iterable<T> and java.util.Collection etc.
