Added container builders for lists, sets, and maps. The new experimental type inference only works for the simple builders with a single generic type. The versions with nullability and the maps still require explicit specification of the types. Obviously explicit specification is required for all users who are not using the new experimental inference. Improving the type inference is something that should be done separately and many things – including these builders – will benefit from it, however, this is not a blocker for these builders in my opinion.
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.
