I can't overload a vararg function with an Array of the same type because the vararg is internally represented as an array on the JVM? (I know I can use the spread operator)

Yes, as a workaround you could maybe use @JvmName, but don't.

thanks

[Florian]

is it impossible to pass a (spreaded) Array<Int> to varargs x: Int?

[Florian]

seems like it only accepts IntArray

[Florian]

are there no use cases for varargs of box types?

[Florian]

I guess it doesnt matter since you can always convert it

[karelpeeters]

I think it has to do with Java compatibility, where int... is int[] and not Integer[]. But like you said, it's not a big problem.

[Florian]

yea seems like it always has to be converted to IntArray
