The proper support will come in KT-15518, but that would be a breaking change even for stable Kotlin without kotlin-reflect. Before that issue is fixed, represent Nothing in types with the Void class, and use a flag in the no-reflect implementation to remember that it's not actually the Void class itself. #KT-39166 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.
