Is there a way to duplicate all constructors in the class on the front-end? The problem I am solving is to add a parameter to all constructors of annotated class. As far as I know, there is no way to change declarations on the front-end. And the recommended way is to add new constructors deprecating old ones. But I don't see a way to get list of all old constructors without entering infinite loop. Or is it better to add new functions to companion object or something similar instead of new constructors?

You can do that with FIR

How? I tried using FirDeclarationGenerationExtension. But I always end up in infinite loop. For example, if I try to get all constructors inside generateConstructors method via context.owner.constructors(session), I'll enter infinite loop. Because to get all constructors this generateConstructors method will be called.

I have to somehow separate user-defined constructors from generated ones without attempt to list the last ones.
