What does NativeBuildType do? When setting it to RELEASE, it strips the result from at least 2 enums in the code leading to crashes

[Artyom Degtyarev [JB]]

What exactly you were trying to do there? It represents release and debug modes, see https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin/blob/master/libraries/tools/kotlin-gradle-plugin/src/main/kotlin/org/jetbrains/kotlin/gradle/targets/native/NativeBinaryTypes.kt

It looks like the problem comes from optimized

[ribesg]

Whatever buildType I use, setting optimized = true leads to the error

[ribesg]

kotlin.RuntimeException: Unexpected receiver type: com.mydomain.SomeEnum

[Artyom Degtyarev [JB]]

Oh, there was a problem with that. Can you try to use the EAP2? Something similar was fixed in it.(https://discuss.kotlinlang.org/t/kotlin-1-3-70-early-access-preview/15876/19) If it won’t help, please try to pack a reproducer and share it with us 🙏 That would help a lot.

[ribesg]

I can’t have a reproducer and I can’t use EAP as it’s a very complex system (I would need updated coroutines, ktor, serialization and others)

[ribesg]

I’m importing these enums with aliases, trying without

[ribesg]

Nope, not coming from the aliases

[ribesg]

I think we found the problematic code, checking

[ribesg]

@Artyom Degtyarev [JB] here is an example of problematic code

[ribesg]

ApiParticipationStatus is an alias for the SomeEnum in the error message, but removing the alias doesn’t change anything. Making this of function return just one value of the Status enum removes the error

[ribesg]

This alternative works but is not great (we have no guarantee that the values will stay similar)

[Artyom Degtyarev [JB]]

Thanks! If interested, see this issue:
https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin-native/issues/3343
There are some examples of similar problem, slightly different inside. Some of that should be gone in EAP, AFAIK.

[ribesg]

Thanks, looks like it has nothing to do with enums or serialization then

Looks like all the other occurences have something to do with List, but not in my case. Or maybe there’s some list in an enum

[Artyom Degtyarev [JB]]

I’m just saying that it seems like a group of problems with similar output rather than a single bug. That’s the reason for pushing the eap use here - we have to check if something left unfixed.

[ribesg]

I see, but we just can’t use an EAP without all the dependencies being updated and it’s not happening so we’ll have to see after the release of 1.3.70
