Hi All, how is overriding properties with a backing field handled? Does the overridden property reuse the backing field of it's parent class? Or does it shadow it?

You could try looking at the generated kotlin bytecode. In IDEA: Tools > Kotlin > Show Kotlin Bytecode

Well, it shadows the original property. But all access goes through the getters/setters which access the overridden property rendering the shadowed property (parent class's property) unused.

it could be accessed via a super call
