abstract class BTypes

The BTypes component defines The BType class hierarchy. BTypes encapsulates all type information that is required after building the ASM nodes. This includes optimizations, geneartion of InnerClass attributes and generation of stack map frames.

This representation is immutable and independent of the compiler data structures, hence it can be queried by concurrent threads.

final class ClassBType(val internalName: String) extends RefBType

A ClassBType represents a class or interface type. The necessary information to build a ClassBType is extracted from compiler symbols and types, see BTypesFromSymbols.

A ClassBType represents a class or interface type. The necessary information to build a ClassBType is extracted from compiler symbols and types, see BTypesFromSymbols.

The offset and length fields are used to represent the internal name of the class. They are indices into some character array. The internal name can be obtained through the method internalNameString, which is abstract in this component. Name creation is assumed to be hash-consed, so if two ClassBTypes have the same internal name, they NEED to have the same offset and length.

The actual implementation in subclass BTypesFromSymbols uses the global chrs array from the name table. This representation is efficient because the JVM class name is obtained through classSymbol.javaBinaryName. This already adds the necessary string to the chrs array, so it makes sense to reuse the same name table in the backend.

ClassBType is not a case class because we want a custom equals method, and because the extractor extracts the internalName, which is what you typically need.

case class ClassInfo(superClass: Option[ClassBType], interfaces: List[ClassBType], flags: Int, memberClasses: List[ClassBType], nestedInfo: Option[NestedInfo])

The type info for a class. Used for symboltable-independent subtype checks in the backend.

The type info for a class. Used for symboltable-independent subtype checks in the backend.

Value parameters

flags

The java flags, obtained through javaFlags. Used also to derive the flags for InnerClass entries.

interfaces

All transitively implemented interfaces, except for those inherited through the superclass.

memberClasses

Classes nested in this class. Those need to be added to the InnerClass table, see the InnerClass spec summary above.

nestedInfo

If this describes a nested class, information for the InnerClass table.

superClass

The super class, not defined for class java/lang/Object.

case class InnerClassEntry(name: String, outerName: String, innerName: String, flags: Int)

This class holds the data for an entry in the InnerClass table. See the InnerClass summary above in this file.

This class holds the data for an entry in the InnerClass table. See the InnerClass summary above in this file.

There's some overlap with the class NestedInfo, but it's not exactly the same and cleaner to keep separate.

Value parameters

flags

The flags for this class in the InnerClass entry.

innerName

The simple name of the inner class, may be null.

name

The internal name of the class.

outerName

The internal name of the outer class, may be null.

case class NestedInfo(enclosingClass: ClassBType, outerName: Option[String], innerName: Option[String], isStaticNestedClass: Boolean)

Information required to add a class to an InnerClass table. The spec summary above explains what information is required for the InnerClass entry.

Information required to add a class to an InnerClass table. The spec summary above explains what information is required for the InnerClass entry.

Value parameters

enclosingClass

The enclosing class, if it is also nested. When adding a class to the InnerClass table, enclosing nested classes are also added.

innerName

The innerName field, may be None.

isStaticNestedClass

True if this is a static nested class (not inner class) () () Note that the STATIC flag in ClassInfo.flags, obtained through javaFlags(classSym), is not correct for the InnerClass entry, see javaFlags. The static flag in the InnerClass describes a source-level propety: if the class is in a static context (does not have an outer pointer). This is checked when building the NestedInfo.

outerName

The outerName field in the InnerClass entry, may be None.
