Result of calling `ExpressionCodegen.gen` was used only in two call sites in the inliner. In all other call sites, we were doing unnecessary work (and sometimes were even failing) by trying to construct a KotlinType instance out from an IrType. Note that even though the code from KT-50617 no longer fails to compile, the underlying problem is still not solved, since the IrType for foo's dispatch receiver is constructed incorrectly. The reason is that SymbolTable links everything by IdSignature, which is identical for classes with the same FQ name. #KT-50617 Fixed
JavaScript Translation
This module performs the translation of Kotlin source code to JavaScript.
There are various Kotlin APIs to JavaScript environments in the standard library.
Compiling the Kotlin Standard Library for JavaScript
The Kotlin Standard Library for JS is built with gradle, see the corresponding module's ReadMe.
Reusing JVM based test cases in JavaScript
Any Kotlin test cases using the org.junit.Test annotation and the kotlin.test package, such as this test case are automatically converted to JavaScript using QUnit.
This allows the test cases to be run directly in a web page in any web browser.
Using the Kotlin Library in JavaScript
There is a simple sample which shows how to use the Kotlin Standard Library from inside JavaScript in a web page.
