I mean, the type system isn’t very strict at all to begin with in some . It’s trivially breakable when performing common operations like type punning in C.
Depends on the programming language
That’s why we don’t like c
What did you actually do?
I broke the type system in Kotlin and ended up with a null value in a non-null (not
lateinit) variable.How convoluted was it?
With no platform types involved?
Yes
Interesting. Care to share? I think they fixed a few of those issues with K2. Did you find something new or is it known?
It was about 3 years ago, and I haven’t been able to find my old code again. I probably discarded it after finding out it didn’t work well. I was able to find this screenshot though:
Uh. Probably not exactly your case, but I managed to “reproduce” them.
The first case is easy if you just override the setter of a property, and is more a feature of the language rather than a bug.
The second case is more tricky, but by using a generic delegate you can manage to trick it by doing an unchecked cast. Got the same warning in IntelliJ as well.
