A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

I want to pass a parameter to a function (actually a super class constructor call), and this parameter is a complicated expression and I tried using `run { ... }`. However, `run` is overloaded as both an extension and non-extension function. Since the context includes an implicit "this" receiver, Kotlin favours calling the extension version. How can I force it to run the non-extension version?

Found the answer: call `kotlin.run` instead of just `run`.

Kotlin should always prefer calling a member function. what do you mean by "non-extension function"?

<@UJQB4DJF7> In this case "non-extension" means it doesn't have a receiver, not that it isn't a member. <https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/run.html>
