A BType is either a primitve type, a ClassBType, an ArrayBType of one of these, or a MethodType referring to BTypes.
A BType is either a primitve type, a ClassBType, an ArrayBType of one of these, or a MethodType referring to BTypes.
A ClassBType represents a class or interface type.
A ClassBType represents a class or interface type. The necessary information to build a ClassBType is extracted from compiler symbols and types, see BTypesFromSymbols.
The offset
and length
fields are used to represent the internal name of the class. They
are indices into some character array. The internal name can be obtained through the method
internalNameString
, which is abstract in this component. Name creation is assumed to be
hash-consed, so if two ClassBTypes have the same internal name, they NEED to have the same
offset
and length
.
The actual implementation in subclass BTypesFromSymbols uses the global chrs
array from the
name table. This representation is efficient because the JVM class name is obtained through
classSymbol.javaBinaryName
. This already adds the necessary string to the chrs
array,
so it makes sense to reuse the same name table in the backend.
ClassBType is not a case class because we want a custom equals method, and because the extractor extracts the internalName, which is what you typically need.
The type info for a class.
The type info for a class. Used for symboltable-independent subtype checks in the backend.
The super class, not defined for class java/lang/Object.
All transitively implemented interfaces, except for those inherited through the superclass.
The java flags, obtained through javaFlags
. Used also to derive
the flags for InnerClass entries.
Classes nested in this class. Those need to be added to the InnerClass table, see the InnerClass spec summary above.
If this describes a nested class, information for the InnerClass table.
This class holds the data for an entry in the InnerClass table.
This class holds the data for an entry in the InnerClass table. See the InnerClass summary above in this file.
There's some overlap with the class NestedInfo, but it's not exactly the same and cleaner to keep separate.
The internal name of the class.
The internal name of the outer class, may be null.
The simple name of the inner class, may be null.
The flags for this class in the InnerClass entry.
Just a named pair, used in CoreBTypes.asmBoxTo/asmUnboxTo.

Information required to add a class to an InnerClass table.
Information required to add a class to an InnerClass table. The spec summary above explains what information is required for the InnerClass entry.
The enclosing class, if it is also nested. When adding a class to the InnerClass table, enclosing nested classes are also added.
The outerName field in the InnerClass entry, may be None.
The innerName field, may be None.
True if this is a static nested class (not inner class) (*)
(*) Note that the STATIC flag in ClassInfo.flags, obtained through javaFlags(classSym), is not correct for the InnerClass entry, see javaFlags. The static flag in the InnerClass describes a source-level propety: if the class is in a static context (does not have an outer pointer). This is checked when building the NestedInfo.
Obtain a previously constructed ClassBType for a given internal name.
Obtain a previously constructed ClassBType for a given internal name.
A map from internal names to ClassBTypes.
A map from internal names to ClassBTypes. Every ClassBType is added to this map on its construction.
This map is used when computing stack map frames. The asm.ClassWriter invokes the method
getCommonSuperClass
. In this method we need to obtain the ClassBType for a given internal
name. The method assumes that every class type that appears in the bytecode exists in the map.
Concurrent because stack map frames are computed when in the class writer, which might run on multiple classes concurrently.

values of a ClassBType, see comment of that
class.

True if the current compilation unit is of a primitive class (scala.Boolean et al).
True if the current compilation unit is of a primitive class (scala.Boolean et al). Used only in assertions.
True for module classes of modules that are top-level or owned only by objects.
True for module classes of modules that are top-level or owned only by objects. Module classes for such objects will get a MODULE$ flag and a corresponding static initializer.
True for module classes of package level objects.
True for module classes of package level objects. The backend will generate a mirror class for such objects.
Return the Java modifiers for the given symbol.
Return the Java modifiers for the given symbol. Java modifiers for classes:
(*) protected cannot be used, since inner classes 'see' protected members, and they would fail verification after lifted.
This class mainly contains the method classBTypeFromSymbol, which extracts the necessary information from a symbol and its type to create the correpsonding ClassBType. It requires access to the compiler (global parameter).
The mixin CoreBTypes defines core BTypes that are used in the backend. Building these BTypes uses classBTypeFromSymbol, hence requires access to the compiler (global).
BTypesFromSymbols extends BTypes because the implementation of BTypes requires access to some of the core btypes. They are declared in BTypes as abstract members. Note that BTypes does not have access to the compiler instance.
