06/07/2021, 6:09 PMHello everyone, I am trying to generate Multiplatform code at build time. can KSP do this? or do I need to dive into Compiler Plugins?

} Copy code
annotation class Generate

06/07/2021, 6:18 PMJust generating new code can be done with KSP. It's basically like Java APT, but with a Kotlin-API and supporting kotlin multiplatform (afaik)
But you cannot alter the code (just like with Java APT)

06/07/2021, 6:20 PMMusic to my ears. Thanks @diesieben07 will look deeper onto KSP then. Coz those Compiler Plugins still scare me

06/07/2021, 6:20 PMwell, KSP really is a compiler plugin itself - it just gives you a nice (and stable) API

06/07/2021, 6:21 PMYou of course don't interact with the Kotlin compiler directly, KSP does that for you. But your code runs as part of the kotlin compiler

Mpp support planned for kotlin 1.5.20

06/07/2021, 9:40 PMThanks for clarifying, I wasn't sure on that part
Do you have any links on that @Big Chungus? I only found this: https://github.com/google/ksp/issues/60 which is just for making KSP work on the JVM part of a MPP project (not actual "common code").
