I want to access parent class constructor from extended class.
Like this..
How can I do this ?

class A {
  generateInstance(): this:class {
     return this::class()
  }
}
class B: A() 
val b: B = B().generateInstance()

Thank you. I am surprised to know that there is something kotlin cannot do. Kotlin seemed too perfect.

What is "trait" ?

[Tobias Berger]

in very early versions of kotlin they used the keyword trait instead of interface
