Any easy way to make a class implementing

operator iterator()

that returns a custom iterator that implements

operator hasNext()

and

operator next()

, to return a List? It seems that currently the only way is to make a mutable list and then

for (e in iterator) list.add(e)

...?

I think you want to use

List

constructor

I'm asking because of the ReceiveChannel in coroutines, but it doesn't implement Iterable, it just defines operators for

in

to work...

you can create an iterable with

Iterable

, let me look up the function

The definition of the function is:

public inline fun <T> Iterable(crossinline iterator: () -> Iterator<T>): Iterable<T> = object : Iterable<T> {
    override fun iterator(): Iterator<T> = iterator()
}

Doesn't help in this case... since my iterator() function doesn't return a real Iterable, oh well I guess back to the harder way... 😢
