Introduce MetadataSource as a way to store the original descriptor for
any element (before any lowerings) and maintain it until the end of the
codegen where it's used in generating the metadata. Note that JVM
signatures written to the metadata are formed from the _resulting_
generated elements, not by mapping the original descriptors.
Some corner cases are not supported yet, namely properties declared in
companion objects, synthetic methods for property annotations,
JvmPackageName, etc.
#KT-29119 Fixed
Both for callables obtained via reflection API (KClass.members etc) and
for callables obtained via ::-references, the instance parameter is now
the class which was used to construct the type at the left-hand side of
the reference, NOT the class where the callable is originally declared
as is known at compile-time. The reason is to reduce the difference in
behavior of KCallable.call vs FunctionN.invoke: the latter always
required the subclass instance for a fake override, and it's reasonable
that the former would require it as well.
Note that in Java reflection, behavior could differ in a similar case.
For a simple fake override, Class.getMethod would return the method
declared in the base class and that method will accept instances of the
base class in invoke. However, it's difficult to rely on this behavior
because if there's a bridge for a fake override in the derived class
(e.g. when overridden members have different signatures), the returned
Method object is accepting the derived class as the receiver. This just
confirms the fact that Java reflection operates on a different level of
abstraction, namely JVM methods in .class files, which is not applicable
to our use cases directly. Another reason not to replicate Java
reflection's behavior is the uncertainty as to which member is returned
in case there are several in the hierarchy for a given fake override:
see the "otherwise one of the methods is chosen arbitrarily" note in
javadoc on Class.getMethod.
#KT-24170 Fixed
The implementation is a bit obscure because this worked on JS since
Kotlin 1.0 and we should not break that; however, on JVM, a diagnostic
will be reported with old language/API version
#KT-25241 Fixed
This patch mutes the following test categories:
* Tests with java dependencies (System class,
java stdlib, jvm-oriented annotations etc).
* Coroutines tests.
* Reflection tests.
* Tests with an inheritance from the standard
collections.
