Does it make sense that calling the following extension function on a null String? would print int?

inline val <reified T : Any?> T.TAG get() = ((this as? Any)?.javaClass?.simpleName ?: "${T::class.java.simpleName ?: "null"}?").replace("CompanionObject", "")

eygraber: I get "String?"

@mfulton26 using 1.1? Also, I'm running it on Android

[mfulton26]

Yeah, 1.1, on my desktop

Interesting. Maybe Android fudges things around to handle nulls in dex? Thanks for your input though 😄

Are you calling TAG on anything related to resources (which are `Int`s)? I guess I'm wondering what you get if you call x.TAG on val x: String? = null.

[eygraber]

That's the case I was referring to. For that I get int?

[mfulton26]

Weird.
