Weird. I have a naive forEach function on a "custom collection" like thing, that hides its internals:

fun forEach(closure: (ValveSpan) -> Unit) {
   series.forEach(closure)
}

If I use this in a @Composable function and try to do a @Composition (Text) inside of the closure, the compose compiler won't do it (@Composable invocations can only happen from the context of a @Composable function). Using the stock forEach on normal collections is fine. Do I need to declare my custom forEach with some kind of annoation for compose to be happy using it?

You need to make your function inline

This is the same reason you can call suspend functions from a forEach on eager collections in a suspending context

i tried that. unfortunately, the whole reason I added that was that it's a private var it's enumerating, and inline and private vars do not mix apparently?

inline literally means it inlines the function body into the call site. So if the call site couldn’t access a private var, an inline function can’t

[Zach Klippenstein (he/him) [MOD]]

That’s also why it propagates the caller’s “color” – it’s not actually allocating a lambda for the parameter, just copying the function body into the caller.

One way to work around that is to make your private property @PublishedApi internal

thanks, that works
