Kotlin 1.7.10. I enable -Xlambdas=indy, but it seems that kotlin compiler still produces Function class.

fun main() {
    val a = 0
    l { println(a) }
}

fun l(block: () -> Unit) {
    block()
}

Will produce:

NEW test/TestMainKt$main$1

public final static l(Lkotlin/jvm/functions/Function0;)V

final class test/TestMainKt$main$1 extends kotlin/jvm/internal/Lambda implements kotlin/jvm/functions/Function0

How is it enabled? In some cases (Gradle ‘kotlin-dsl’ is one) plugins set this in ‘afterEvaluate’.

Just

tasks.withType<KotlinCompile> {
    kotlinOptions.freeCompilerArgs += "-Xlambdas=indy"
}

OK I know why, I use the builtin Kotlin bytecode viewer. It uses Jetbrains API for this feature, and I can tell that their machine doesn't turn on -Xlambdas=indy because this is how they return, while the real bytecode does produce invokedynamic.
