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
