A class representing the type U to which T would be erased.
A class representing the type U to which T would be erased.
Note that there is no subtyping relationship between T and U.
A method that should be called from every well-designed equals method that is open to be overridden in a subclass.
A method that should be called from every well-designed equals method that is open to be overridden in a subclass. See Programming in Scala, Chapter 28 for discussion and design.
the value being probed for possible equality
true if this instance can possibly equal that, otherwise false
Note: testing for erasure here is important, as it is many times faster than <:< and rules out most comparisons.
Returns string formatted according to given format string.
Returns string formatted according to given format string.
Format strings are as for String.format
(@see java.lang.String.format).

A ClassTag[T] can serve as an extractor that matches only objects of type T.
A ClassTag[T] can serve as an extractor that matches only objects of type T.
The compiler tries to turn unchecked type tests in pattern matches into checked ones
by wrapping a (_: T) type pattern as ct(_: T), where ct is the ClassTag[T] instance.
Type tests necessary before calling other extractors are treated similarly.
SomeExtractor(...) is turned into ct(SomeExtractor(...)) if T in SomeExtractor.unapply(x: T)
is uncheckable, but we have an instance of ClassTag[T].

A
Manifest[T]is an opaque descriptor for type T. Its supported use is to give access to the erasure of the type as aClassinstance, as is necessary for the creation of nativeArraysif the class is not known at compile time.The type-relation operators
<:<and=:=should be considered approximations only, as there are numerous aspects of type conformance which are not yet adequately represented in manifests.Example usages:
