MyObj ( var1 ?: return null, var2 ?: return null)

not sure that's ideal though

[Shawn]

why not just

fun Foo.foo(): MyObj? =
  if (var1 != null && var2 != null) MyObj(var1, var2) else null

If var1 and var2 are really vars here, they won't be smartcasted.

[Stephan Schroeder]

true, for that var1 and var2 should be assigned to local variables.

[iex]

they are `val`s

MyObj ( var1 ?: return null, var2 ?: return null) still seems to be the less verbose option
