Hello, I'm currently working on a framework, which uses reflection to parse and introspect functions. I'm aware that Kotlin applies type erasure to generics during runtime (effectively turning SomeClass<Type> into SomeClass<*>). However, I'd expect type checks such as the one outlined below to correctly yield true.

I'd like to ask if the below code snippet is a mistake on my end or if it's related to some kind of bug related to invariances. Thank you.

I had this same issue when trying to read the classes from arguments.

I solved it by getting the class from jvmErasure and comparing that instead. That might be a little better than your hacky approach

println(paramType.jvmErasure.isSubclassOf(SomeClass::class))

Yeah, the issue above is that paramKType is an instance of KType describing SomeClass<*>, not an instance of SomeClass itself
