What's the best way to get a Class instance in kotlin that is equal to void.class in java? Unit::class.java doesn't do it:

>>> System.out::class.java.methods.first {it.name == "println"}.returnType == Unit::class.java
res1: kotlin.Boolean = false

(I'm using bytebuddy to dynamically generate a method and need it to be declared void to be used properly by some jersey code)

ah found it (Void.TYPE) here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60037044/how-do-i-get-the-java-primitive-void-class-in-kotlin

Nothing::class.javaPrimitiveType

[Joe]

Thanks that works too, what are the advantages / disadvantages of Nothing::class.javaPrimitiveType vs Void.TYPE ?
