Copy code

fun foo() { TODO() }
val f = ::foo
f()

Does this use a reflection call? Even though

KFunction

is in the

reflect

package, I would assume this particular case would be handled specially?

right, I think a simple

invoke

wouldn't involve any reflect machinery

other properties and functions may; iirc even

f.toString()

will cause reflection metadata to be loaded
