Hey there I have a kotlin MPP (android and ios) and I have ios32 and ios64 presets. And some methods thatI use have a different signatures in 32 where it uses Int versus 64 where it uses Long. Those method are ios specific only. If I declare the same method twice (in 32 and 64 source set) then obviously I get a multiple definition error. Is there a way to deal with this where I dont need to have `expected`/`actual` because android would have no need for it and therefore 'fake' implementation?

Use convert when calling method in question and just share the code

[Cyrille QUÉMIN]

memcpy(nsData.refTo(0), bytes, size.toULong()) that is for 64 and memcpy(nsData.refTo(0), bytes, size.toUInt()) that is for 32

Not too sure how to use convert since it only convert from Long and Double to String.
Even suing `actual`/`expected` creates : overload resolution ambiguity error.

[olonho]

use size.convert() as an argument

this is why need conditional compilation with #if it simplify stuff by a lot

[Cyrille QUÉMIN]

it did work thanks.

[Cyrille QUÉMIN]

@sksk I feel like convert is more elegant than #if as it avoid duplication of code. You just have one extension method to call. better than duplicating the whole line. At least for numbers it is better I reckon.

[sksk]

convert comes probably with some overhead, #if is FREE

[Cyrille QUÉMIN]

Very true, that's a fair point.

[olonho]

Nope, convert is compile-time intrinsic and is free

Brilliant !
