I can't seem to get ``` suspend operator fun <T> invoke(block: suspend () -> T): T { ...

# coroutines

I can't seem to get

suspend operator fun <T> invoke(block: suspend () -> T): T {
        // ...
    }

to work. Does invoke work with suspend keyword?

What errors are you getting? I could do it without problems:

@Test
    fun q() {
        val a = A()
        runBlocking {
            launch {
                val x = a {
                    2
                }
                assertEquals(2, x)
            }.join()
        }
    }

class A {
    suspend operator fun <Q> invoke(block: suspend () -> Q) : Q{
        delay(2)
        return block()
    }
}

Well, something like this:

class AsasSuspended: suspend (suspend () -> Int) -> Int {
    override suspend fun invoke(p1: suspend () -> Int): Int {
        TODO("not implemented")
    }
}

But I'm getting a suspend function type is not allowed as supertypes.

suspend is just a modifier, in this case stating you can’t invoke T outside of coroutines. I tried an example and seems working fine.

What seems to be problem for you ?
