This module creates the standard library for kotlin.

We use some code generation to generate the various utility extension function for the various collection-like types like arrays, strings, Collection<T>, Sequence<T>, Map<K, V> etc.

These sources are placed into generated folder and their names are prefixed with the underscore, for example generated/_Collections.kt

To run the code generator from the libraries directory of a kotlin checkout, use the following command:

./gradlew :tools:kotlin-stdlib-gen:run

Note: on Windows type gradlew without the leading ./

This then runs the script which generates a significant part of stdlib sources from the templates authored with a special kotlin based DSL.

If you want to author samples for the standard library, please head to the samples readme.
