The code generation uses a mixture of literal `\n` characters and `appendln`. The latter insert `\r\n` on Windows by default, causing generated files to contain a mixture of line endings. This commit sets the `line.separator` system property for the generator to `\n` so that `appendln` will never insert `\r` characters. As an additional measure, `.gitattributes` files were added to checkout generated stdlib files always with LF line endings.
The Kotlin Standard Library
This module creates the standard library for Kotlin.
Notes for contributors
We use some code generation to generate the various utility extension function for the various collection-like types like arrays, strings, Collection<T>, Sequence<T>, Map<K, V> etc.
These sources are placed into generated folder and their names are prefixed with the 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 authored with a special kotlin based DSL.
