Does anyone know if code like the following:

inline fun <T> identity(block: () -> T) = block
inline fun <T> do(block: () -> T): T = block()
fun main() {
    println(do(identity { "hello" })
}

would be optimised to basically the equivalent of this:

fun main () {
    println("hello")
}

Or would the lambda object still be created because it is being returned by identity? I don't have access to an IDE right this second but this question is burning me so thought I'd ask. If anyone has the time, try pasting this code into a kotlin project then doing Show Kotlin Bytecode then Decompile and look at the Java source code to see what happens.

had to rewrite it to this

kinda hard to tell but looking at the decompiled code, it doesn't look like it's inlining

Yepppp just like I expected. Thank you so much dude

[Youssef Shoaib [MOD]]

Didn't realise that do was a keyword even huh. That's interesting I guess

[Youssef Shoaib [MOD]]

It's very odd tbh that a case like this isn't inlined when it easily could be since the block never gets used in any non-inlined form

Oh wow apparently Kotlin has do while loops. TIL
