FreeTypeSymbolApi

trait FreeTypeSymbolApi extends Universe.TypeSymbolApi

The API of free type symbols. The main source of information about symbols is the Symbols page.

Class Symbol defines isXXX test methods such as isPublic or isFinal, params and returnType methods for method symbols, baseClasses for class symbols and so on. Some of these methods don't make sense for certain subclasses of Symbol and return NoSymbol, Nil or other empty values.

    Set when symbol has a modifier of the form private[X], NoSymbol otherwise.

    Access level encoding: there are three scala flags (PRIVATE, PROTECTED, and LOCAL) which combine with value privateWithin (the "foo" in private[foo]) to define from where an entity can be accessed. The meanings are as follows:

    PRIVATE access restricted to class only. PROTECTED access restricted to class and subclasses only. LOCAL can only be set in conjunction with PRIVATE or PROTECTED. Further restricts access to the same object instance.

    In addition, privateWithin can be used to set a visibility barrier. When set, everything contained in the named enclosing package or class has access. It is incompatible with PRIVATE or LOCAL, but is additive with PROTECTED (i.e. if either the flags or privateWithin allow access, then it is allowed.)

    The java access levels translate as follows:

    java private: isPrivate && (privateWithin == NoSymbol) java package: !isPrivate && !isProtected && (privateWithin == enclosingPackage) java protected: isProtected && (privateWithin == enclosingPackage) java public: !isPrivate && !isProtected && (privateWithin == NoSymbol)

    The type signature of this symbol.

    The type signature of this symbol.

    This method always returns signatures in the most generic way possible, even if the underlying symbol is obtained from an instantiation of a generic type. For example, signature of the method def map[B](f: (A) ⇒ B): List[B], which refers to the type parameter A of the declaring class List[A], will always feature A, regardless of whether map is loaded from the List[_] or from List[Int]. To get a signature with type parameters appropriately instantiated, one should use typeSignatureIn.

  21. final def eq(arg0: AnyRef): Boolean

    Tests whether the argument (arg0) is a reference to the receiver object (this).

    Tests whether the argument (arg0) is a reference to the receiver object (this).

    The eq method implements an equivalence relation on non-null instances of AnyRef, and has three additional properties:

    • It is consistent: for any non-null instances x and y of type AnyRef, multiple invocations of x.eq(y) consistently returns true or consistently returns false.
    • For any non-null instance 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).

    returns

    true if the argument is a reference to the receiver object; false otherwise.
