This module creates the standard library for kotlin.
We use some code generation to generate the various utility extension function for the various collection-like types like arrays, strings, Collection<T>
, Sequence<T>
, Map<K, V>
etc.
These sources are placed into generated
folder and their names are prefixed with the underscore, for example generated/_Collections.kt
To run the code generator from the libraries
directory of a kotlin checkout, use the following command:
./gradlew :tools:kotlin-stdlib-gen:run
Note: on Windows type
gradlew
without the leading./
This then runs the script which generates a significant part of stdlib sources from the templates authored with a special kotlin based DSL.
