Is there any way to get the calling classloader in an package level util function?

[gcx11]

this::class.java.classLoader

[camdenorrb]

Oh wait, sorry I meant in a util package level function

[camdenorrb]

Yikerz

[camdenorrb]

@gcx11 Any ideas?

[diesieben07]

Thread.currentThread.contextClassLoader is usually what you want.

[camdenorrb]

Would creating an empty object instead create overhead @diesieben07?

[diesieben07]

You mean object : Any() {}::class.java.classLoader?

[camdenorrb]

Yeah

[diesieben07]

The JVM will most likely optimize the instance creation away, yes

[camdenorrb]

So that's a good way of doing it?

[diesieben07]

Not really. It obscures what you are doing

[camdenorrb]

Oh alright
