Some help with generics

1

I have the following code: 

public class AnotherClass<L> {
  public fun doStuffTo(obj: L) {
    ...
  }
}
public class MyClass<T:MyClass<T>> : Cloneable {
  val anotherClass:AnotherClass<T>;



  public fun doStuff() {

  anotherClass.doStuffTo(this as T);

  }


  public fun clone(): T {

  val result = super.clone() as T

    …

    return result;

  }

}


I’d like to remove the requirement of having a recursive generic and casting this to T, if possible. I’m adding it just to reference the current instance class, like in Java. But maybe there is a better way of doing this in Kotlin?

It could be that I don't understand you correctly, but is this what you are looking for? 

fun main (args:Array<String>) {
    MyClass(AnotherClass()).doStuff()
}



public class AnotherClass<V> {

  public fun doStuffTo(obj: V) {

  println(obj)

  }

}

public class MyClass(private val anotherClass:AnotherClass<MyClass>)  {

  public fun doStuff() {

  anotherClass.doStuffTo(this)

  }

}
