Abstract Value Members

  1. abstract def <:<(that: Universe.Type): Boolean

    Does this type conform to given type argument that?

  2. abstract def =:=(that: Universe.Type): Boolean

    Is this type equivalent to given type argument that?

  3. abstract def asSeenFrom(pre: Universe.Type, clazz: Universe.Symbol): Universe.Type

    This type as seen from prefix pre and class clazz.

    This type as seen from prefix pre and class clazz. This means: Replace all ThisTypes of clazz or one of its subclasses by pre and instantiate all parameters by arguments of pre. Proceed analogously for ThisTypes referring to outer classes.

    Example:

    scala> import scala.reflect.runtime.universe._
    import scala.reflect.runtime.universe._
    
    scala> class D[T] { def m: T = ??? }
    defined class D
    
    scala> class C extends D[Int]
    defined class C
    
    scala> val D = typeOf[D[_]].typeSymbol.asClass
    D: reflect.runtime.universe.ClassSymbol = class D
    
    scala> val C = typeOf[C].typeSymbol.asClass
    C: reflect.runtime.universe.ClassSymbol = class C
    
    scala> val T = D.typeParams(0).asType.toType
    T: reflect.runtime.universe.Type = T
    
    scala> T.asSeenFrom(ThisType(C), D)
    res0: reflect.runtime.universe.Type = scala.Int
  4. abstract def baseClasses: List[Universe.Symbol]

    The list of all base classes of this type (including its own typeSymbol) in linearization order, starting with the class itself and ending in class Any.

  5. abstract def baseType(clazz: Universe.Symbol): Universe.Type

    The least type instance of given class which is a super-type of this type.

    The least type instance of given class which is a super-type of this type. Example:

    class D[T]
    class C extends p.D[Int]
    ThisType(C).baseType(D) = p.D[Int]
  6. abstract def contains(sym: Universe.Symbol): Boolean

    Does this type contain a reference to given symbol?

  7. abstract def declaration(name: Universe.Name): Universe.Symbol

    The defined or declared members with name name in this type; an OverloadedSymbol if several exist, NoSymbol if none exist.

    The defined or declared members with name name in this type; an OverloadedSymbol if several exist, NoSymbol if none exist. Alternatives of overloaded symbol appear in the order they are declared.

  8. abstract def declarations: Universe.MemberScope

    A Scope containing directly declared members of this type.

    A Scope containing directly declared members of this type. Unlike members this method doesn't returns inherited members.

    Members in the returned scope might appear in arbitrary order. Use declarations.sorted to get an ordered list of members.

  9. abstract def erasure: Universe.Type

    The erased type corresponding to this type after all transformations from Scala to Java have been performed.

  10. abstract def exists(p: (Universe.Type) ⇒ Boolean): Boolean

    Is there part of this type which satisfies predicate p?

  11. abstract def find(p: (Universe.Type) ⇒ Boolean): Option[Universe.Type]

    Returns optionally first type (in a preorder traversal) which satisfies predicate p, or None if none exists.

  12. abstract def foreach(f: (Universe.Type) ⇒ Unit): Unit

    Apply f to each part of this type, for side effects only

  13. abstract def map(f: (Universe.Type) ⇒ Universe.Type): Universe.Type

    Apply f to each part of this type, returning a new type.

    Apply f to each part of this type, returning a new type. children get mapped before their parents

  14. abstract def member(name: Universe.Name): Universe.Symbol

    The member with given name, either directly declared or inherited, an OverloadedSymbol if several exist, NoSymbol if none exist.

  15. abstract def members: Universe.MemberScope

    A Scope containing all members of this type (directly declared or inherited).

    A Scope containing all members of this type (directly declared or inherited). Unlike declarations this method also returns inherited members.

    Members in the returned scope might appear in arbitrary order. Use declarations.sorted to get an ordered list of members.

  16. abstract def normalize: Universe.Type

    Expands type aliases and converts higher-kinded TypeRefs to PolyTypes.

    Expands type aliases and converts higher-kinded TypeRefs to PolyTypes. Functions on types are also implemented as PolyTypes.

    Example: (in the below, <List> is the type constructor of List) TypeRef(pre, <List>, List()) is replaced by PolyType(X, TypeRef(pre, <List>, List(X)))

  17. abstract def substituteSymbols(from: List[Universe.Symbol], to: List[Universe.Symbol]): Universe.Type

    Substitute symbols in to for corresponding occurrences of references to symbols from in this type.

  18. abstract def substituteTypes(from: List[Universe.Symbol], to: List[Universe.Type]): Universe.Type

    Substitute types in to for corresponding occurrences of references to symbols from in this type.

  19. abstract def takesTypeArgs: Boolean

    Is this type a type constructor that is missing its type arguments?

  20. abstract def termSymbol: Universe.Symbol

    The term symbol associated with the type, or NoSymbol for types that do not refer to a term symbol.

  21. abstract def typeConstructor: Universe.Type

    Returns the corresponding type constructor (e.

    Returns the corresponding type constructor (e.g. List for List[T] or List[String])

  22. abstract def typeSymbol: Universe.Symbol

    The type symbol associated with the type, or NoSymbol for types that do not refer to a type symbol.

  23. abstract def weak_<:<(that: Universe.Type): Boolean

    Does this type weakly conform to given type argument that, i.

    Does this type weakly conform to given type argument that, i.e., either conforms in terms of <:< or both are primitive number types that conform according to Section "Weak Conformance" in the spec. For example, Int weak_<:< Long.

  24. abstract def widen: Universe.Type

    If this is a singleton type, widen it to its nearest underlying non-singleton base type by applying one or more underlying dereferences.

    If this is a singleton type, widen it to its nearest underlying non-singleton base type by applying one or more underlying dereferences. If this is not a singleton type, returns this type itself.

    Example:

    class Outer { class C ; val x: C } val o: Outer <o.x.type>.widen = o.C
