Q: How do I run my program?
|
|
|
|
A: Define top level function `fun main(args: Array<String>)`, please ensure it's not
|
|
in a package. Also compiler switch `-entry` could be use to make any function taking
|
|
`Array<String>` and returning `Unit` be an entry point.

Q: What is Kotlin/Native memory management model?
|
|
|
|
A: Kotlin/Native provides automated memory management scheme, similar to what Java or Swift provides.
|
|
Current implementation includes automated reference counter with cycle collector to collect cyclical
|
|
garbage.

Q: How do I create shared library?
|
|
|
|
A: Use `-produce dynamic` compiler switch, or `konanArtifacts { dynamic('foo') {} }` in Gradle.
|
|
It will produce platform-specific shared object (.so on Linux, .dylib on macOS and .dll on Windows targets) and
|
|
C language header, allowing to use all public APIs available in your Kotlin/Native program from C code.
|
|
See `samples/python_extension` as an example of using such shared object to provide a bridge between Python and
|
|
Kotlin/Native.
