Adding vararg arrays

Support
2

I noticed the other day when I was trying to write a generic function with a vararg parameter that they don’t always seem to act like ‘normal’ arrays. It’s almost as if the compiler knows that they should be treated as an array but doesn’t know what type of array.

Frankly, I have no explanation for this and so I hope something else will be able to enlighten us on the reason for this behavior.

In the meantime, if you need a workaround, then (curiously) converting to lists before doing the addition and then back again to an array compiles and works fine:

fun main(args: Array<String>) {
    val o1 = Obj1("Hello", "World")
    val o2 = Obj2("123", "456")
    val s  = (o1.stuff.asList() + o2.other.asList()).toTypedArray()	       
    println(s.joinToString())
}

class Obj1(vararg val stuff: String)
class Obj2(vararg val other: String)
