kotlinlang

Hello!
Are there any tutorial on how can I debug kotlin compiler?
I have an android project and kotlin compiler crashes for some reason.
I'd like to run a debugger and find outh what causes it to crash.

For anyone who in the future will need to debug the kotlin compiler, here's an easy way:
1) Download kotlin repo
2) Open it with IDEA
3) add this option into gradle.properties of target project:
```org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx2048m -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=y,address=5007 -Dkotlin.compiler.execution.strategy=in-process```
4) Attach to remote debugger in IDEA
5) ???
6) Profit!

Starting from kotlin 1.6.20 it’s better to use gradle property or  `KotlinCompile` task.
<https://kotlinlang.org/docs/whatsnew1620.html#properties-for-defining-kotlin-compiler-execution-strategy>

For instance, you can use `kotlin.compiler.execution.strategy=in-process` property in your `gradle.properties` file
