I have a lateinit in an object

object offscreenPass {
        ...
        lateinit var commandBuffer: VkCommandBuffer

But whenever I try to query if it has been initialized if (offscreenPass::commandBuffer.isInitialized), I get

Backing field of 'lateinit var commandBuffer: VkCommandBuffer' is not accessible at this point

[ilya.gorbunov]

You can only call ::isInitialized inside that object, where the backing field of that lateinit is accessible.

why is that?

there is no way/workaround to check a the initialization of a lateinit var outside the object?
