A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

Hi! Is it somehow possible to "attach" kdoc comments to generated FIR elements? Given that you can't really browse the sources of generated code, I would like to at least generate some doc comments to further describe what it does.

I only found this piece of code:
<https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin/blob/master/compiler/fir/fir-serialization/src/org/jetbrains/kotlin/fir/serialization/FirKLibSerializerExtension.kt#L103-L108|https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin/blob/master/compiler/fir/fir-serialization/src[…]etbrains/kotlin/fir/serialization/FirKLibSerializerExtension.kt>

This makes me think its not an actual feature, but I could maybe trick kotlin into allowing it if I implement my own tree structure that only returns a doc comment? If it works - I'm already doing worse stuff in my plugin... :laughing:

The comments only really need to show up if someone uses the module that uses the plugin as a dependency, so it would be fine if they are just in the library.

Hey
There is no such functionality, please create a request at <http://kotl.in/issue|kotl.in/issue>

I must warn you that it most likely won't be processed in 2.0 release timeline

Okay thanks, I'll create an issue later. It's just a nice to have of course, so nothing too important
