Since LocalDeclarationsLowering is a BodyLoweringPass, local functions inside one declaration are handled independently of local functions in the other declaration. This can lead to name clashes, in case a local function with the same name and signature is declared in overloads in the same container, which results in a signature clash error in JVM IR. The issue became more common with the introduction of adapted function references, where psi2ir generates a local adapter-function with a predefined name, which can easily clash with another reference to the same target in an overload. This led to a compilation error when bootstrapping Kotlin with JVM IR, for example in GradleIRBuilder.kt where there are a lot of references to the same function.
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.
