A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

assuming the java `to` method is a static method because an instance based method should always win in the dispatching order afaik. you might either use a more qualified method call or use an import alias to disambiguate without actually refactoring the original method.

Tried what? A name change? Yes in this case I do actually have access to the class and could simply change the name. I’m just asking as an exploration of the problem.

Can you include a code snippet that actually shows this problem?

I mean, show the code where stdlib’s `to` function gets invoked instead of _member_ method `to`.

```
// Java
public class SomeObject {

    public void to(OtherObject foo) {
        System.out.println(foo.toString())
    }
}

// Kotlin
val param = OtherObject()
SomeObject().to(param) // Returns a Pair&lt;SomeObject, OtherObject&gt;
```

<@U2E974ELT> super simplified example but that is the basic state of the problem

<@U4JFYKCCC> unfortunately it is an instance method

<@U34NUKM3R> This example works fine for me, `to` is resolved to instance method.

Perhaps the `param` you pass to this method is not `OtherObject`?

how would it resolve if param was a subclass of `OtherObject`?

To the instance method. I've tried passing Int where OtherObject was Number.
