I have several objects to reinterpreter memory:

interface reinterpreter<T> {
    operator fun get(index: Int): T
    operator fun set(index: Int, value: T): Any
}
object vec1bData : reinterpreter<Vec1b> {
    override operator fun get(index: Int) = Vec1b(data, index * Vec1b.size)
    override fun set(index: Int, value: Vec1b) = <http://value.to|value.to>(data, index * Vec1b.size)
}

but when I type

inline fun <reified T> data():reinterpreter<T> = when (T::class.java) {
        Vec1b::class.java -> vec1bData
}

I get:

required reinterpeter<T>, but found vec1bData

The compiler currently cannot infer that if T::class.java == Class<X> then T == X, https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-13646

Meanwhile you can clarify the type with a cast vec1bData as reinterpeter<T>

thanks for the link, @ilya.gorbunov, I'll cast
