We want to make its type parameter reified to do it we have to make it inline and non-external. But we don't want to inline it in call sites and want prevent using it anywhere except places generated by the compiler. In user code, including stdlib, we should use `K::class.js` instead. Separately we have to intrinsify `K::class.js` to reduce overhead.
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.
Usage samples
