in ran into an issue with default arguments

myFunc(p1: String, p2: Consumer<*>, p3: String = "") {}
// is not the same as 
myFunc(p1: String, p2: Consumer<*>) { myFunc(p1, p2, "") }
myFunc(p1: String, p2: Consumer<*>, p3: String) {}

the compiler does not allow you to use trailing lambdas if you use default arguments i'm not really sure if it's an issue, but did seem odd to me

I'm confused by the code snippet. why does only one have a body?

the body is irrelevant, but i added curly braces now

what if you put p2 last?

unless i declare myFunc as two separate functions, i'm not able to call

myFunc("test") { }

trailing lambdas always require the lambda be the last argument tho

it is the last argument, since the third argument is omitted (it has a default value)

if there's an argument after it, then it's not the last argument

it would seem so

I don't understand your issue with putting the consmer last. It works fine for me: https://pl.kotl.in/B_F3K_Auz

typealias Consumer<T> = (T) -> Unit

fun myFunc(p1: String, p2: String = "", p3: Consumer<String>) {
    p3(p1 + p2)
}

fun main() {
    myFunc("Test") { println(it) }
    myFunc("Test", "2") { println(it) }
}

it's not always an option to change the signature 🙂

Yes, that is true, but unless I missed something the discussion was:

Max Aller: what if you put p2 last?

david: unless i declare myFunc as two separate functions, i'm not able to call

myFunc("test") { }

it's understandable that it's a point of confusion 🙂

@Ruckus the two lines you quote was not a question+response, it was two messages that were sent at the same time. a more accurate representation of the conversation would be

Max Aller: what if you put p2 last?

david: that will work

you could add an extension method with the arguments in the correct order perhaps

Ah, got it. My bad.
