Symbols

A Symbol represents a Scala definition/declaration or a package.

Matches lists of term symbols, including the empty list. All symbols in the list are assumed to be of the same kind.

Matches lists of type symbols, excluding the empty list. All symbols in the list are assumed to be of the same kind.

The current class

The Definitions object

Get ClassSymbol if class is either defined in current compilation run or present on classpath. Returns NoSymbol otherwise.

Get a List of ClassSymbols which are either defined in current compilation run or present on classpath.

Get module symbol if the module is either defined in current compilation run or present on classpath. Returns NoSymbol otherwise.

Get ClassSymbol if package is either defined in current compilation run or present on classpath. Returns NoSymbol otherwise.

Map given symbols, subjecting their attributes to the mappings defined in the given TreeTypeMap ttmap. Cross symbol references are brought over from originals to copies. Do not copy any symbols if all attributes of all symbols stay the same.

Create an anonymous function symbol

Create a class symbol from its non-info fields and a function producing its info (the produced info may be lazy).

Create a class symbol from its non-info fields and the fields of its info.

Create a module symbol with associated module class from its non-info fields and the fields of the module class info.

Create a package symbol with associated package class from its non-info fields its member scope.

Create a class constructor symbol for given class cls.

Create an empty default constructor symbol for given class cls.

Create an import symbol pointing back to given qualifier expr.

Create an import symbol with given info.

Create the local template dummy of given class cls. In a template

trait T { val fld: Int; { val x: int = 2 }; val fld2 = { val y = 2; y }}

the owner of x is the local dummy of the template. The owner of the local dummy is then the class of the template itself. By contrast, the owner of y would be fld2. There is a single local dummy per template.

Create a module symbol with associated module class from its non-info fields and a function producing the info of the module class (this info may be lazy).

Same as newCompleteClassSymbol except that parents can be a list of arbitrary types which get normalized into type refs and parameter bindings.

Create a package symbol with associated package class from its non-info fields and a lazy type for loading the package's members.

Define a new symbol associated with a Bind or pattern wildcard and, by default, make it gadt narrowable.

Create a symbol representing a selftype declaration for class cls.

Create a new skolem symbol. This is not the same as SkolemType, even though the motivation (create a singleton referencing to a type) is similar.

Create a stub symbol that will issue a missing reference error when attempted to be completed.

Create a symbol from its fields (info may be lazy)

Create new type parameters with given owner, names, and flags.

Tree attachment containing the identifiers in a tree as a sorted array
