I'm really confused: I thought that context receivers are available in JVM code only but I accidentally(* 🙂) compiled the following function in my Kotlin/JS project:
Copy code
context(SelectorsScope)
infix fun CSSSelector.child(selector: CSSSelector): CSSSelector = child(this, selector)
And it works! Are context receivers allowed on platforms other than JVM in Kotlin 1.9.22? * I was just experimenting how the 
SelectorsScope.child()
function could be made more comfortable with context receivers

Context receivers should be multiplatform. IIRC I did use them in Native, for example.

They are absolutely not multiplatform

That's so weird

I tried native a few weeks ago and they did not work, only JVM worked

It seems to work even in common code, although editor support is sometimes misbehaving. For example one of my JVM unit tests (using context receivers from a library's common code) compiles and executes as expected but the editor still displays an error:

Not sure what to say guys, it looks like shouldn't be multiplatform, but I definitely remember compiling on mingwX64

I have asked it in the #compiler group (sorry for the "cross-post"): https://kotlinlang.slack.com/archives/C7L3JB43G/p1706689232765499 What I have learnt is context receivers will be removed in favor of context parameters 😮 See: https://kotlinlang.slack.com/archives/C7L3JB43G/p1706690703933919?thread_ts=1706689232.765499&cid=C7L3JB43G

I tried on macosArm and linuxArm and they were not working (was porting code from JVM that was already using them)

Of course the target shouldn't affect the ability to use them since they're implemented way before any target stuff applies
