Does anybody know, for what reason this one https://pl.kotl.in/Sk2RqPdEN does not throw compile-time error?
t

Tsvetozar Bonev

Seems like it executes the function with less arguments if both have defaults for all https://pl.kotl.in/HJ18AwuV4

I know! what error?

Compile time error. The same that we will see if we remove second argument in "A" function

Tsvetozar Bonev

I think I agree with expecting an error, don't see how this quirk of the compiler helps

The call is obviously ambiguous. Basic documentation says nothing about this behavior (at least I did not find anything)
The only thing I found is very old issue in tracker that also does not answer the question: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-9371

It's rather magical indeed, funny though it's marked as resolved
a

altavir

02/06/2019, 2:31 PM
It is probably somehow connected to the resolution of function with lambdas, but still, without proper reason in documentation, it just seems strange
a

alex

02/06/2019, 2:32 PM
I think you should open an issue on YT, it either must be fixed or documented.
a

altavir

02/06/2019, 2:33 PM
Yep. I am searching for something similar. Maybe it is there already.
a

Alan Evans

02/06/2019, 2:36 PM
Would you also expect this to be ambiguous?
fun position(arg: Int = 0){println("B")}
fun position(arg: Int = 0, arg2:Int = 1) {println("A")}

fun main(){
    position(1)
}
a

altavir

02/06/2019, 2:36 PM
Yes, I think so.
👍 1
Yet there is a rule that method without parameters win against method with default parameter. This one is quite similar, so, there could be different opinions
This rule is also not documented
a

Alan Evans

02/06/2019, 2:38 PM
The issue points to a commit, https://github.com/jetbrains/kotlin/commit/d015f713cbf14fdbf76ed917e3b92a631e956f85 If I'm not reading that wrong, it is testing for ambiguity in this case:
fun wrongTwoDefault(a: Any = 2) = 1
fun wrongTwoDefault(a: Int = 2, b: String = "") = ""
 <!OVERLOAD_RESOLUTION_AMBIGUITY!>wrongTwoDefault<!>(1)
However, there is no ambiguity error in that case. Now at least.

altavir

02/06/2019, 2:39 PM
So it is some kind of regression?
OK, I did not find an issue, so I will write one.

I actually ran into this a while ago. Turns out there is an established rule: The function with the least number of parameters (in the bytecode) wins.
a

altavir

02/06/2019, 3:19 PM
It seems so. But I did not found it in the documentation.
Maybe I've searched in the wrong place. And there should be a warning.
r

Ruckus

02/06/2019, 3:23 PM
I can't remember where I found that rule. Maybe it was just in a discussion with the benevolent JB overlords.
a

altavir

02/06/2019, 3:24 PM
I just found it by experimenting. It is rather simple, but not obvious.
r

Ruckus

02/06/2019, 3:27 PM
Indeed, but I remember at some point I found out it is a well established and intentional rule. Unfortunately I don't remember the details as to why or where.

Those issues seems to be awarded to @stanislav.erokhin. We can try to summon his spirit here.

stanislav.erokhin

02/07/2019, 7:05 AM
No, it isn't a regression. In initial case one function use 2 defaults and another - 1 default. So function that used less defaults - wins. In case https://kotlinlang.slack.com/archives/C0922A726/p1549463900076800?thread_ts=1549462913.072800&amp;cid=C0922A726 by previous rule first function should win, but for used parameters we compare type specifisity and
Int
should win over
Any
. So none of function usn't specific that another.
I'm not sure that we should cover this in documentation, the more suitable place for this - language specificatuon. Draft of this part you can find here: https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin-spec/blob/spec-rework/src/kotlin.core/overload-resolution.md#choosing-the-most-specific-function-from-the-overload-candidate-set
a

altavir

02/07/2019, 7:14 AM
I think there should be at least a link in the documentation on defaults. The point is not obvious. Especially if some pure soul working without IDE
a

Alan Evans

02/07/2019, 2:15 PM
Please explain, if I didn't read that wrong, how come I don't see the issue the source seems to suggest I should ^
Does this line
<!OVERLOAD_RESOLUTION_AMBIGUITY!>wrongTwoDefault<!>(1)
Not say that there should be an ambiguity error at this point?
wrongWithDefaultGeneric
from that test also does not fail @stanislav.erokhin
s

stanislav.erokhin

02/07/2019, 2:30 PM
O. I’m sorry, I was wrong. We compare
Int
and
Any
at first and because
Int
is more specific that
Any
we chose second candidate. but if types are equal, then we compare by defaults count.
a

Alan Evans

02/07/2019, 4:14 PM
OK, but doesn't your test look like it expects those to fail? @stanislav.erokhin but they don't
