@JvmField
val HAS_GETTER = Flag(F.HAS_GETTER)

Can there ever be a property without a getter in the Kotlin metadata?

I think so, when you have an @JvmField, it's still a property Kotlin-wise

[Marc Knaup]

Even a property with @JvmField still has HAS_GETTER set but no getter method generated.

that said, there is a mean trick to make properties with inaccessable getter. But even those still have the HAS_SETTER flag

[Marc Knaup]

Oh I missed that answer somehow. Good to know, thanks.

I also can't think of a good use case right now for a setter-only property 🤔
