If In TypeScript I have a method such as: ```read<T>(ctor: new (store: KeyValueStore) => T)...

If In TypeScript I have a method such as:

read<T>(ctor: new (store: KeyValueStore) => T): void;

Note the new for the type.
What would be the corresponding Kotlin declaration?

[hfhbd]

What about this? fun<T> read(ctor (KeyValueStore) -> T): Unit

@hfhbd unfortunately while I can pass the constructor in Kotlin (::MyClass), the TS declaration file ends up containing read: (p0: KeyValueStore) => T, which doesn't allow passing a constructor reference AFAIK

[hfhbd]

Hm, this is strange. At least in Kotlin each constructor call can be referenced as a function/lambda:

val createTree: (fileName: String, procedure: CobolFIRTree.ProcedureTree) -> CobolFIRTree = ::CobolFIRTree
val tree: CobolFIRTree = createTree("myFile", procedures)
