Safecast throws Exception on lined up nullables

Support

Hello there,

i am having some difficulties with the safeCast operator.

I have a simple class:

class Bundle {
    fun <T> getSomeGeneric(): T? =
        "Hallo" as T
}

whenever i use the below code, it will still throw a java.lang.ClassCastException

fun tryOut(b: Bundle?) {
    (b?.getSomeGeneric() as? Int)?.let {
        println(it)
    }
}

however if i use:

fun tryOut(b: Bundle?) {
    b?.let { b ->
        (b.getSomeGeneric() as? Int)?.let {
            println(it)
        }
    }
}

everything works fine.

I figured that in decompiled bytecode there is no type check when using the nullcheck operator, as it gets casted within the ternary operator.

Is this behaviour intended?
Am i missing something?
