Should it be possible to try out new Kotlin Native memory model on an M1 device? The specific Ktor/Kotlinx Coroutines that seem to be required to use it don't support M1 right now I believe....not sure if there are later versions that do?

Which target? It should work on iosSimulatorArm64 with 16.0+ and the flag: kotlin.native.binary.memoryModel=experimental and coroutines 1.6.0-RC and ktor 2.0 eap

[John O'Reilly]

Thanks, hadn't tried that ktor version

[hfhbd]

Sorry, there is no explicit 2.0 version, but you have to use a eap version 257+

Eg: https://maven.pkg.jetbrains.space/public/p/ktor/eap/io/ktor/ktor-client-cio-iossimulatorarm64/

[John O'Reilly]

And that version supports new memory model?

[John O'Reilly]

https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin/blob/master/kotlin-native/NEW_MM.md right now still mentions for example need to use

ktor: 1.6.2-native-mm-eap-196
kotlinx.coroutines: 1.5.1-new-mm-dev2

[hfhbd]

AFAIK it should be: https://github.com/ktorio/ktor/pull/2693#issuecomment-970176692

[John O'Reilly]

nice, thanks!

Hm, after digging, it looks like you still need the native-mt version...
Which won't be published until release (not RC). But there is a new RC-2 release soon 😄

Currently, there is wip to support no native-mt version: https://github.com/ktorio/ktor/tree/e5l/coroutines
