Hey guys, I'm trying to convert a method reference like

SomeClass::main

into a classname for a

java -mainClass

argument. This is the best I've got

private val KFunction<*>.instanceTypeName: String get() {
    return ((this as FunctionReference).boundReceiver::class as KClass<*>).jvmName
}

usage:

val mainClass: String = (MyType::main).instanceTypeName

is there a better solution?

Why not just do it off of

MyType::class.jvmName

?

just so that the

main

function has a user

FunctionReference

is an internal API, so please don’t use it Instead, you can use

instanceParameter!!.type.jvmErasure.jvmName
