Instead of generating overrides for getOwner/getName/getSignature in each anonymous class representing a callable reference, pass them to the superclass' constructor and store as fields. This occupies some small memory but helps to reduce the size of the generated class files, and will be helpful for adding further runtime information to callable references, such as information about implicit conversions this reference has been subject to. Represent owner as java.lang.Class + boolean instead of KDeclarationContainer, so that the unnecessary wrapping Class->KClass wouldn't happen before it's needed, and also to make sure all callable references remain serializable. Note that the argument type where the "is declaration container a class" is passed is int instead of boolean. The plan is to pass the aforementioned implicit conversion information as bits of this same integer value. #KT-27362 Fixed
The Kotlin Standard Library
This module creates the standard library for Kotlin.
Notes for contributors
We use code generation to generate utility extension functions for some collection-like types like arrays, strings, Collection<T>, Sequence<T>, Map<K, V> etc.
These sources are placed into the generated folder and their names are prefixed with an underscore, for example, generated/_Collections.kt
To run the code generator, use the following command in the root directory of the project:
./gradlew :tools:kotlin-stdlib-gen:run
Note: on Windows type
gradlewwithout the leading./
This then runs the script which generates a significant part of stdlib sources from the templates written in a special Kotlin-based DSL.
