I.e.

interface  MySomething{
  fun hello()
}

val a = object : MySomething{
  override fun hello() {
    GlobalScope.launch {
      doSomethingWithMySomething(this) <<--
    }
  }
}

fun doSomethingWithMySomething(something : MySomething){
  
}

Use this@object, eg this@MySomething

Use this@object, eg this@MySomething

That doesn't work

[Paul Woitaschek]

I know I can workaround be writing sth like val me = this as the first statement of the hello body

[Dico]

this@functionName - receiver
this@declaringClassName - instance

[Paul Woitaschek]

I know how this stuff works in general, how does it work in this case? @Dico

[nwh]

Yeah I see what you mean, this is a strange case indeed

[Dico]

Ah, the anonymous class has no compile time name thinking

[Dico]

as a workaround you can do private fun me() = this and call it

[Paul Woitaschek]

I know 🤷‍♂️

[Dico]

or the thing you suggested yourself

I guess you cannot reference with a name/label to an anonymous object. Give the object a name (instead of using a val) and you are good to go:

object a : MySomething {
    override fun hello() {
        launch {
            doSomethingWithMySomething(a)
        }
    }
}
