@User uploaded a file: Method references and commented: Playing around with 1.1 EAP. I noticed method references doesn't quit work the same as its Java 8 counterpart, even after setting Kotlin's JVM target to 1.8

bar2 is perfectly fine, injecting the foobar(1) directly into the call site. However, bar still creates an annonymous instance of Function1. Inlining doesn't seem to work here at all

Java 8's bytecode on the other hand uses INVOKEDYNAMIC for both lambda and method references.
