Public types nested in internal Kotlin types not marked as internal #682
Description
Context: dotnet/android#4955
Given a public nested type inside a private/internal type in Kotlin:
internal data class ParentType () {
enum class ChildEnum { VALUE1, VALUE2 }
}
We correctly hide ParentType but we do not hide ChildEnum because we do not check parent visibility. This results in a warning such as this when generator is trying nest the ChildEnum object inside to ParentType object:
warning BG8604: top ancestor ParentType not found for nested type ParentType.ChildEnum
The good news is ChildEnum will not be bound due to the warning, so the final binding is correct, but we should handle this correctly.
