A prototype for expressions [] that are known to be functions:

A prototype for expressions [] that are known to be functions:

[] _

A prototype for expressions [] that are in some unspecified selection operation

A prototype for expressions [] that are in some unspecified selection operation

[].?: ?

Used to indicate that expression is in a context where the only valid operation is further selection. In this case, the expression need not be a value.

def constrained(tl: TypeLambda, owningTree: Tree, alwaysAddTypeVars: Boolean)(using Context): (TypeLambda, List[TypeTree])

Add all parameters of given type lambda tl to the constraint's domain. If the constraint contains already some of these parameters in its domain, make a copy of the type lambda and add the copy's type parameters instead. Return either the original type lambda, or the copy, if one was made. Also, if owningTree is non-empty or alwaysAddTypeVars is true, add a type variable for each parameter.

Returns

The added type lambda, and the list of created type variables.

Same as constrained(tl, EmptyTree), but returns just the created type lambda

def normalize(tp: Type, pt: Type, followIFT: Boolean)(using Context): Type

The normalized form of a type

The normalized form of a type

  • unwraps polymorphic types, tracking their parameters in the current constraint
  • skips implicit parameters of methods and functions; if result type depends on implicit parameter, replace with wildcard.
  • converts non-dependent method types to the corresponding function types unless the expected type is an ApplyingProto or IgnoredProto.
  • dereferences parameterless method types
  • dereferences nullary method types provided the corresponding function type is not a subtype of the expected type. Note: We need to take account of the possibility of inserting a () argument list in normalization. Otherwise, a type with a def toString(): String member would not count as a valid solution for ?{toString: String}. This would then lead to an implicit insertion, with a nice explosion of inference search because of course every implicit result has some sort of toString method. The problem is solved by dereferencing nullary method types if the corresponding function type is not compatible with the prototype.
def resultTypeApprox(mt: MethodType, wildcardOnly: Boolean)(using Context): Type
