val x: () -> Any? = @Repeated(5) {
            "hi"
        }

        // test if x has annontation
//fail       
        println(x::class.java.annotations.first() as Repeated)

I think there's a kotlin way to do it

[sitepodmatt]

x::class.java.getAnnotation(Repeated::class.java) gives a null

[sitepodmatt]

happy with java way just need to access it, presuming there is someway

[LeoColman]

I'm not sure how to do that in a lambda tho

[LeoColman]

Perhaps you can take a look on how it's compiled?

[LeoColman]

I mean, try to take a look at the bytecode, and see how the hell that class is created

[LeoColman]

Because it doesn't make sense for me for that to return null

[LeoColman]

Maybe just x::class.findAnnotation<Repeated>()?

I ended changing my design, i was just trying to hack this in without changing the type signatures etc
