Hi all :kotlin: Has someone already noticed/reported that

suspend

doesn’t work with

typealias

? Example:

typealias MyType = (Any) -> Any
fun testFunction(block: suspend MyType) {}
//                      ^^^^^^^
// Modifier 'suspend' is not applicable to 'non-functional type'

Did you try

typealias MyType = suspend (Any) -> Any

? I think it wouldn't make sense in the way you did it since

suspend

adds another parameter to the function when compiling, so it's another type altogether... but then maybe

typealias

might also be compile time, so it might be possible.... but a bit hacky?

This is so by design.

@elizarov You mean like he did it, but

typealias MyType = suspend (Any) -> Any

should work, no?

Yes.

suspend Alias

should not, while

suspend FunType

should work
