abstract class BTypes extends AnyRef

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

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

    A ClassBType represents a class or interface type.

    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 info field contains either the class information on an error message why the info could not be computed. There are two reasons for an erroneous info:

    1. The ClassBType was built from a class symbol that stems from a java source file, and the symbol's type could not be completed successfully (SI-9111) 2. The ClassBType should be built from a classfile, but the class could not be found on the compilation classpath.

    Note that all ClassBTypes required in a non-optimized run are built during code generation from the class symbols referenced by the ASTs, so they have a valid info. Therefore the backend often invokes info.get (which asserts the info to exist) when reading data from the ClassBType.

    The inliner on the other hand uses ClassBTypes that are built from classfiles, which may have a missing info. In order not to crash the compiler unnecessarily, the inliner does not force infos using get, but it reports inliner warnings for missing infos that prevent inlining.

    The type info for a class.

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

    superClass

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

    interfaces

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

    flags

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

    nestedClasses

    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.

    inlineInfo

    Information about this class for the inliner.

    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.

    name

    The internal name of the class.

    outerName

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

    innerName

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

    flags

    Information required to add a class to an InnerClass table.

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

    enclosingClass

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

    outerName

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

    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 property: if the class is in a static context (does not have an outer pointer). This is checked when building the NestedInfo.

    Cast the receiver object to be of type T0.

    Note that the success of a cast at runtime is modulo Scala's erasure semantics. Therefore the expression 1.asInstanceOf[String] will throw a ClassCastException at runtime, while the expression List(1).asInstanceOf[List[String]] will not. In the latter example, because the type argument is erased as part of compilation it is not possible to check whether the contents of the list are of the requested type.

    Obtain the BType for a type descriptor or internal name. For class descriptors, the ClassBType is constructed by parsing the corresponding classfile.

    Some JVM operations use either a full descriptor or only an internal name. Example: ANEWARRAY java/lang/String // a new array of strings (internal name for the String class) ANEWARRAY [Ljava/lang/String; // a new array of array of string (full descriptor for the String class)

    Permalink

    A map from internal names to ClassBTypes.

    A map from internal names to ClassBTypes. Every ClassBType is added to this map on its construction.

    This map is used when computing stack map frames. The asm.ClassWriter invokes the method getCommonSuperClass. In this method we need to obtain the ClassBType for a given internal name. The method assumes that every class type that appears in the bytecode exists in the map.

    Concurrent because stack map frames are computed when in the class writer, which might run on multiple classes concurrently.

    Tests whether the argument (that) is a reference to the receiver object (this).

    Tests whether the argument (that) is a reference to the receiver object (this).

    The eq method implements an equivalence relation on non-null instances of AnyRef, and has three additional properties:

    • It is consistent: for any non-null instances x and y of type AnyRef, multiple invocations of x.eq(y) consistently returns true or consistently returns false.
    • For any non-null instance x of type AnyRef, x.eq(null) and null.eq(x) returns false.
    • null.eq(null) returns true.

    When overriding the equals or hashCode methods, it is important to ensure that their behavior is consistent with reference equality. Therefore, if two objects are references to each other (o1 eq o2), they should be equal to each other (o1 == o2) and they should hash to the same value (o1.hashCode == o2.hashCode).

    returns

    true if the argument is a reference to the receiver object; false otherwise.
