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

this::class.java.classLoader

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

@gcx11 Any ideas?

Thread.currentThread.contextClassLoader is usually what you want.

Would creating an empty object instead create overhead @diesieben07?

d

diesieben07

02/24/2019, 7:53 PM

You mean

object : Any() {}::class.java.classLoader

?

c

camdenorrb

02/24/2019, 7:53 PM

Yeah

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

c

camdenorrb

02/24/2019, 7:53 PM

So that's a good way of doing it?

d

diesieben07

02/24/2019, 7:53 PM

Not really. It obscures what you are doing

c

Oh alright
