I have a cross platform library for ios/android written in C/C++ and it would be nice to be able to call it from kotlin without all the JNI fuss

Cinterop is available in Kotlin Native, AFAIK it's not available in Android/JVM

if you're talking about this https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/native/c_interop.html

Thanks for the reply. That is what I have understood by reading the documentation too

but, if you create a kotlin (native) library that calls c code via cinterop

can that kotlin library be called from Android code?

or once you have a kotlin native component, you cannot be called from Art/JVM world?

Initially I saw Cinterop like c# Platform Invoke, where you can call from .NET VM to native libraries. But I think that's not the case

I think you'd still need JNI to access kotlin native functions

you can ask at #kotlin-native
