So, Kotlin Native will still be affected by JVM restrictions...

sizeExtend & signExtend

When using

Random

class in Kotlin, I need to

import java.util.Random

. Is there a plan do add

kotlin.Random

typealias, so it works with K/N?

I was under the impression the stdlib would (eventually) grow to replace at least some features from the JVM, as it did with string. Like Random.

I need to use cinterop (

stdio

) even for just reading from a file? This is what the csvparser example use and I couldn't seem to find anything from

<http://kotlin.io|kotlin.io>

library. Sorry if I am missing something obvious.

is there a good networking library for native?

Is command line support for lldb available/planned?

has anyone been able to link static libraries with Kotlin native?

I built a simple program (factorial), and the binary size was extremely small, and the binary had only a few symbols in it.. so no GC on native? How does that work?

no GC on native (at least for now) Current approach: automatic reference counting + cycle collector

@mishugana Yes, for example you cannot share objects between threads - https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin-native/blob/master/RELEASE_NOTES.md#compatibility-and-features

How does cycle collector work?

So... I'm not sure if this is a bug or something I just don't understand. I'm calling a function that returns a struct, which means a CValue<something>. It compiles fine, but at runtime I get: "Uncaught exception from Kotlin's main: Throwable: typeOf() is called with erased argument". What's going on?

Anyone know why im getting this on Arch linux

Any ideas?

there were a couple excludes in the .def but i cant find it now

@sdeleuze I also tried GTK. There was 1) a bug in cinterop: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-17321 2) more than 3 GB memory required (it worked for me with 10 GB), 3) some serialization limit (org.jetbrains.kotlin.protobuf.InvalidProtocolBufferException) when I tried to actually link a program with the resulting 330 MB gtk.kt.bc.

So I thought I'd try XCB instead, but there seems to be some problem with structs, so that's not working either. 😫 @olonho Did you see the thing I pasted? Any hints?

something similar/same for kotlin native would be an absolute killer feature

will Kotlin/Native be able to compile to a shared library usable by a C/C++ codebase in the future?

There is a way to call kotlin from objective c/swift in iOS?

So we currently can't pass objects between threads at all? Is there any way for me to do any sort of threading and get a result in it safely?

what's the plan for structs ? do you plan to add the word

struct

?

anyone tried kotlin native with the new Windows Linux thing ?

Is there a specific IDE for K/N? Or should I use IDEA or CLion or something?

Is kapt part of compilation to K/N?

is there a native version of REPL?

Windows 😮 https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin-native/tree/win_port

I was trying to declare a class like

class someType(override val rawPtr: NativePtr) : CStructVar() {

    companion object : Type(8, 4)

    var regA: Int
        get() = memberAt<IntVar>(0).value
        set(value) { memberAt<IntVar>(0).value = value }

    var regB: Int
        get() = memberAt<IntVar>(4).value
        set(value) { memberAt<IntVar>(4).value = value }
}
