Good day, I'm using reflection method to handle the last call method example

fun foo(name: String) {
  lastCallMethod = ::foo
}

Now
I want to call the method lastCallMethod

May I ask if there is a way to retrieve the name String that pass using reflection?

Nope. Even if you used a lambda instead of a function reference, name would only be captured if it were actually used inside the lambda, and there’d still be no way to get it out of the lambda object (short of very sketchy reflection tricks). You’d need to create a class to hold both the function reference and the name.

Got it, thank you

what is lastCallMethod? if it's

var lastCallMethod: KFunction<*>? = null
lastCallMethod = ::foo
lastCallMethod?.name

could work, but not if it's () -> Unit or similar (without casting)
