While loop nested under synchronized block in Kotlin










0















Why the following does compile in Kotlin:



fun foo(): Boolean 
while (true)
return true



fun bar(): Boolean
synchronized("")
return foo()




while the following doesn't?



fun baz(): Boolean 
synchronized("")
while (true)
return true





And what is the idiomatic way to make the latter function to compile? I can rewrite it as follows:



fun baz(): Boolean 
synchronized("")
while (true)
return true


TODO("Never")




-- but it doesn't look elegant enough.

    What version of Kotlin are you using? The baz function compiles for me on Kotlin 1.3.

    Looks like this has changed in Kotlin 1.3. You can try it out here. There's an option at the bottom right for what version of Kotlin to use. Sure enough, it compiles on 1.3.10, but not on 1.2.71. Can you upgrade your project to Kotlin 1.3?

    Your issue stems from the same compiler issue that explains this issue here. So Kotlin 1.3 actually has a bug that's in your favor for this example.
