Hi, does anyone know how to reference a Java static method in IR? I tried IrPluginContext#referenceFunctions(FqName) but the list keeps coming back empty

[Justin Tullgren]

this works:

[Justin Tullgren]

private val funPrintln = pluginContext.referenceFunctions(FqName("kotlin.io.println"))

[Justin Tullgren]

however referencing a static (that is in the kotlin compile dependencies) does not

[Justin Tullgren]

private val funPrintln = pluginContext.referenceFunctions(FqName("path.Class.staticMethod"))

[Youssef Shoaib [MOD]]

maybe try

moduleFragment.descriptor.resolveTopLevelClass(FqName("path.Class"), NoLookupLocation.FROM_BACKEND)?.let{
      pluginContext.symbolTable.referenceClass(it).owner.functions.filter { it.name.identifier == "staticMethodName" }.first()
    }

not sure if it'll work or not but it's worth a try

[Justin Tullgren]

thanks i'll try it in a bit!

I would also try to just reference class by fqName and find function inside it, but no clue if it works with java

[Justin Tullgren]

reference by class and finding functions worked!

[Justin Tullgren]

private val androidLog = pluginContext.referenceClass(FqName("android.util.Log"))
        private val androidDebug = androidLog?.owner?.functions?.first {
            it.name == Name.identifier("d")
        }?.symbol

[Justin Tullgren]

thank you both

Yep, my suspicion is that the function lookup works only for top level functions, so if it is wrapped in class, you have to look for it instead
