oook

val x = fun(arg: String) { println(arg) }

val functionRef: KFunction<*> = x::invoke //valid, i can create a reflective handle to invoke.

x::class.members // 6 entries, 2 each of equals, hashcode, tostring. invoke is missing

is this expected behaviour?

[ephemient]

the function types are special and not like regular Kotlin classes, so the fact that reflection works at all is (somewhat) new

[ephemient]

in this case you can see that

x::class.supertypes // [kotlin.Any]

is empty, which is definitely wrong if you compare it to

listOf(x::class.java.superclass) + x::class.java.interfaces // [class java.lang.Object, interface kotlin.jvm.functions.Function1]

[ephemient]

so missing invoke probably stems from that

[ephemient]

there is an experimental

x.reflect()

for which x.reflect()!!::class.members will contain the correct invoke (and also many incorrect `invoke`s)
