this doesnt explain why Array<VkCommandBuffer>::class works flawless

@karelpeeters what were you writing? (sorry, needing quick inputs)

[karelpeeters]

Haha I was going to say that it looks like this should indeed just work with reified parameters.

[elect]

so, this doesnt make sense you too

[elect]

I have always had conflictual relationship with reified and generics.. 😄

[karelpeeters]

There's this issue but it looks like they went too far: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-8408

[elect]

ah, so it's a bug 😄

[karelpeeters]

Ah wait you're saying that ArrayList<C>:class doesn't work? I thought the array one was wrong.

[elect]

anyway, it looks like ArrayList::class works

[karelpeeters]

That it does behave as I would expect, what do you want ArrayList<C>:class to do?

[diesieben07]

This works for arrays, because Arrays are special on the JVM. Array<String> is a different class than Array<Any>

[diesieben07]

This is not the case for ArrayList<String> / ArrayList<Any>

[elect]

Array<String> is a different class than Array<Any>

wait what

[elect]

can you elaborate?

[diesieben07]

String[] vs Object[] in Java.

[diesieben07]

The two are separate classes
