Common
JVM
1.0
@Target([AnnotationTarget.CLASS, AnnotationTarget.FUNCTION, AnnotationTarget.PROPERTY, AnnotationTarget.TYPE]) annotation class JvmSuppressWildcards
(Common source) (JVM source)
For JVM

Instructs the compiler to generate or omit wildcards for type arguments corresponding to parameters with declaration-site variance, for example such as E of kotlin.collections.Collection which is declared with an out variance.

  • If the innermost applied @JvmSuppressWildcards has suppress=true and the type is not annotated with @JvmWildcard, the type is generated without wildcards.
  • If the innermost applied @JvmSuppressWildcards has suppress=false, the type is generated with wildcards.

It may be helpful only if declaration seems to be inconvenient to use from Java.

See the Kotlin language documentation for more information.
