## The Kotlin Standard Library
|
|
|
|
This module creates the [standard library for kotlin](http://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/index.html).
|
|
|
|
### Notes for contributors
|
|
|
|
We use some code generation to generate the various utility extension function for the various collection-like types like arrays, strings, `Collection<T>`, `Sequence<T>`, `Map<K, V>` etc.
|
|
|
|
These sources are placed into `generated` folder and their names are prefixed with the underscore, for example `generated/_Collections.kt`
|
|
|
|
To run the code generator from the `libraries` directory of a kotlin checkout, use the following command:
|
|
|
|
./gradlew :tools:kotlin-stdlib-gen:run
|
|
|
|
> Note: on Windows type `gradlew` without the leading `./`
|
|
|
|
This then runs the script which generates a significant part of stdlib sources from the [templates](https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin/tree/master/libraries/tools/kotlin-stdlib-gen/src/templates) authored with a special kotlin based DSL. |
