When a Kotlin generic function causes a ClassCastException, it means that the generic type parameter specified in the function call does not match the type of the actual argument passed to the function. This can occur if the generic type parameter is too restrictive, and cannot accommodate the type of the argument passed in. For example, if a function is defined with a generic type parameter of type List<T>
, and an argument of type ArrayList<String>
is passed in, a ClassCastException may occur if the function attempts to access the list as if it were of type List<Integer>
. The solution is to make sure that the generic type parameter is specified correctly, and that it is sufficiently generic to accommodate all possible argument types.
