Hi Everyone, Is there any way to expect static function of java with typealias:
This what I'm trying todo
common:

expect abstract class CharBuffer : Buffer {
  companion object {
    @JvmStatic
    fun wrap(charArray: CharArray): CharBuffer
  }
}

jvm:

actual typealias CharBuffer = java.nio.CharBuffer

wrap is static function of java.nio.CharBuffer with this I'm getting error:
Actual class 'CharBuffer' has no corresponding members for expected class members: public expect companion object

[François]

the actual of a alias, must be of the same type

[François]

Class/class object/object ...

[Sabeeh]

@François but what is the solution for static functions? We don't have static keyword in kotlin

[François]

are you using okio for the Buffer class? it should be compatible with the jvm

[Sabeeh]

No its from java.nio.Buffer and java.nio.CharBuffer I'm creating Multiplatform implementation for it.

java.nio.CharBuffer have station function wrap and I don't know how to expect it. For now i created factory class to use it like this:

actual object CharBufferFactory {
    actual fun wrap(
        charArray: CharArray,
        offset: Int,
        length: Int
    ): CharBuffer {
        return java.nio.CharBuffer.wrap(charArray, offset, length)
    }

    actual fun wrap(
        charSequence: CharSequence,
        offset: Int,
        length: Int
    ): CharBuffer {
        return java.nio.CharBuffer.wrap(charSequence, offset, length)
    }

    actual fun allocate(capacity: Int): CharBuffer {
        return java.nio.CharBuffer.allocate(capacity)
    }
}

Yes, I think it’s the good way. You couldn’t expect/actual CharBuffer itself.
