IntelliJ won't let me compile code with a NullPointerException-CodePudding

I'm writing some code in Kotlin that throws a NullPointerException on purpose (don't matter why).

Problem is IntelliJ won't even let me compile it.

var x: MyClass? = MyClass()
x = null
var y = x!!.myProperty

I tried using @Suppress("ALWAYS_NULL", "UNREACHABLE_CODE") inline and on the whole file @file:Suppress("ALWAYS_NULL", "UNREACHABLE_CODE") but it still won't let me compile it.

How to compile it?

EDIT:

Actually I thought it was IntelliJ but even trying to compile it manually won't work. I guess the compiler is smarter than me and using !! isn't so assertive as I thought it would be.

CodePudding user response：

You can make something like this.

private var Nothing.myProperty: String
    get() = myProperty
    set(value){
        myProperty = "null"
    }

fun main() {
   var x: MyClass? = MyClass()
   var y = x!!.myProperty
}

class MyClass {

    var myProperty: String? = null

}

Compiling without problem. I think if class is null then is better to make if...else checker But more problems bring if property in class somehow will be null
