Example: Given a class declaration class C[T] { ... }
, that generates a symbol
C
. Then C.asType
is the type C[T]
.
By contrast, C.typeSignature
would be a type signature of form
PolyType(ClassInfoType(...))
that describes type parameters, value
parameters, parent types, and members of C
.
Does this symbol represent a free type captured by reification?
Does this symbol represent the definition of a skolem? Skolems are used during typechecking to represent type parameters viewed from inside their scopes.

If yes, isType

Equivalent to x.hashCode
except for boxed numeric types and null
.
For numerics, it returns a hash value which is consistent
with value equality: if two value type instances compare
as true, then ## will produce the same hash value for each
of them.
For null
returns a hashcode where null.hashCode
throws a
NullPointerException
.

Test two objects for equality.
The expression x == that
is equivalent to if (x eq null) that eq null else x.equals(that)
.
true
if the receiver object is equivalent to the argument; false
otherwise.
Cast the receiver object to be of type T0
.
Cast the receiver object to be of type T0
.
Note that the success of a cast at runtime is modulo Scala's erasure semantics.
Therefore the expression 1.asInstanceOf[String]
will throw a ClassCastException
at
runtime, while the expression List(1).asInstanceOf[List[String]]
will not.
In the latter example, because the type argument is erased as part of compilation it is
not possible to check whether the contents of the list are of the requested type.

The eq
method implements an equivalence relation on
non-null instances of AnyRef
, and has three additional properties:
x
and y
of type AnyRef
, multiple invocations of
x.eq(y)
consistently returns true
or consistently returns false
.x
of type AnyRef
, x.eq(null)
and null.eq(x)
returns false
.null.eq(null)
returns true
. When overriding the equals
or hashCode
methods, it is important to ensure that their behavior is
consistent with reference equality. Therefore, if two objects are references to each other (o1 eq o2
), they
should be equal to each other (o1 == o2
) and they should hash to the same value (o1.hashCode == o2.hashCode
).
true
if the argument is a reference to the receiver object; false
otherwise.

The details of when and if the finalize
method is invoked, as
well as the interaction between finalize

Note that the result of the test is modulo Scala's erasure semantics.
Therefore the expression 1.isInstanceOf[String]

In the latter example, because the type argument is erased as part of compilation it is
not possible to check whether the contents of the list are of the specified type.
