@sabag.ronen reified in Kotlin only reifies classes, but it does not reify types. Now String and String? are different types, but they have the same class.

[snrostov]

@sabag.ronen inline fun <reified T> isNullable() = null is T should work

but it does not reify types

@elizarov this is working for me (Kotlin 1.2):

inline fun <reified T> isNullable() = null is T

fun main(args: Array<String>) {
  println(isNullable<String>())
  println(isNullable<String?>())
}

false
true

Once again thanks
