Annotation in M13

1

I'm using IDEA 14.1.4 and both Kotlin 0.13.1513 and 0.13.1514 to test this.

This is from documentation:

@Target([AnnotationTarget.CLASS, AnnotationTarget.FUNCTION, AnnotationTarget.VALUE_PARAMETER, AnnotationTarget.EXPRESSION])
@Retention(AnnotationRetention.SOURCE) @MustBeDocumented
public annotation class Fancy

Error:  CLASS is not annotation class

It should be without bracket since it’s a vararg:

@Target(AnnotationTarget.CLASS, AnnotationTarget.FUNCTION, AnnotationTarget.VALUE_PARAMETER, AnnotationTarget.EXPRESSION)

And then also from the documentation, using annotation with Lamda:

val f = @Suspendable { Fiber.sleep(10) }

Error: This annotation is not applicable to target 'expression'

That @Suspendable is from Java, how do I add @Target to existing annotation from Java?

Is that mean that it must be changed directly from the source code who has the interface?

3

The documentation for declaring the annotation targets indeed has an error, we'll correct this.

Changing the targets of a Java annotation is not possible. However, we will allow applying annotations targeting methods (including @Suspendable) to lambdas in M14.

Hi,

an user has recently opened an issue about that in Quasar (and has found this thread). Is it certain that method-bound Java annotations will be allowed for lambdas in M14 and is there any (even rough) timeframe?

Thanks!

The issue is fixed in this commit: https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin/commit/dd4601fd0849c736007c33445bbe3059beda1e4a M14 is coming out next week.
