* It enables subtyping relationship for keys and elements, allowing type-safe and concise manipulations on the context when complex hierarchies of elements (e.g. implementors of ContinuationInterceptor) are present
* It unblocks possibility to implement suspendCancellableCoroutine in stdlib
* Implementing proper polymorphic get and minusKey in AbstractCoroutineContextElement is impossible because it will introduce source-incompatible change
* ContinuationInterceptor get and minusKey are adjusted in a completely backwards-compatible way
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.
