I am puzzeled by the fact that the following snippet compiles:

val x : (()->Unit)? = null


fun main() {
    if (x != null) {
        x.invoke()
    }
}

while with this one the compiler complains about the reference having a nullable type:

val x : (()->Unit)? = null


fun main() {
    if (x != null) {
        x()
    }
}

Compiler and Android Studio even agree on complaining about the second snippet.
Am I missing something?

Why wouldn't it compile? Second snippet looks like https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-4113

for me both compile without warning, AS 3.6 canary 9 and Kotlin 1.3.50

That's it @jw. Thanks
