Hi,
We have a @Serializable sealed class SuperType . Now we decided to add a method to all subtypes that basically create a copy from themselfs. Obvispously they are supposed to return their own type.
Hence e cahnged the declaration to @Serializable sealed class SuperType<T: SuperType<T>> we can decalre the subtypes like class SubType: SuperType<SubType>{ override fun createCopy(): SubType = TODO() }
Unfortunately this seem to create a endless recursion in the compiler plugin generating the serializer for it. is this a known bug? is it a bug at all?

nevermind the problem seems to be deeper. i am unable to reproduce it with a small testcase

Don't use generics for this, just do:

sealed class A {
  abstract fun foo(): A
}

class B : A() {
  override fun foo(): B { ... }
}
