Suppose I have some code like this:
val x = 5 items.forEach { SomeObject(x).someMethod() }
Does Kotlin construct a new SomeObject
on every pass of forEach
?
EDIT: really I’m not asking about memoization, but about whether the compiler can optimize the object construction away altogether. I understand that mutable data dependencies would often make that impossible. But are there any circumstances where it can be done?
