Equivalent to x.hashCode except for boxed numeric types and null.
For numerics, it returns a hash value which is consistent
with value equality: if two value type instances compare
as true, then ## will produce the same hash value for each
of them.
For null returns a hashcode where null.hashCode throws a
NullPointerException.

The expression x == that is equivalent to if (x eq null) that eq null else x.equals(that).

Perform the following adaptations of expression, pattern or type tree wrt to
given mode mode and given prototype pt:
(-1) For expressions with annotated types, let AnnotationCheckers decide what to do
(0) Convert expressions with constant types to literals (unless in interactive/scaladoc mode)
(1) Resolve overloading, unless mode contains FUNmode
(2) Apply parameterless functions
(3) Apply polymorphic types to fresh instances of their type parameters and
store these instances in context.undetparams,
unless followed by explicit type application.

(3) Apply polymorphic types to fresh instances of their type parameters and

unless followed by explicit type application.
(4) Do the following to unapplied methods used as values:
(4.1) If the method has only implicit parameters pass implicit arguments
(4.2) otherwise, if pt is a function type and method is not a constructor,
convert to function by eta-expansion,
(4.3) otherwise, if the method is nullary with a result type compatible to pt
and it is not a constructor, apply it to ()
otherwise issue an error
(5) Convert constructors in a pattern as follows:
(5.1) If constructor refers to a case class factory, set tree's type to the unique
instance of its primary constructor that is a subtype of the expected type.
(5.2) If constructor refers to an extractor, convert to application of
unapply or unapplySeq method.
(6) Convert all other types to TypeTree nodes. (7) When in TYPEmode but not FUNmode or HKmode, check that types are fully parameterized (7.1) In HKmode, higher-kinded types are allowed, but they must have the expected kind-arity (8) When in both EXPRmode and FUNmode, add apply method calls to values of object type. (9) If there are undetermined type variables and not POLYmode, infer expression instance Then, if tree's type is not a subtype of expected type, try the following adaptations: (10) If the expected type is Byte, Short or Char, and the expression is an integer fitting in the range of that type, convert it to that type. (11) Widen numeric literals to their expected type, if necessary (12) When in mode EXPRmode, convert E to { E; () } if expected type is scala.Unit. (13) When in mode EXPRmode, apply AnnotationChecker conversion if expected type is annotated. (14) When in mode EXPRmode, apply a view If all this fails, error

Cast the receiver object to be of type T0.
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.

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:
x and y of type AnyRef, multiple invocations of
x.eq(y) consistently returns true or consistently returns false.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).

However we found out that we don't really need this concept, so it got removed.

If true then the result must not contain unresolved (i.e. not spliced) type parameters and abstract type members. If false then the function will always succeed (abstract types will be reified as free types).

param => sel match { cases } becomes:

TODO: it would be nicer to generate the tree specified above at once and type it as a whole, there are two gotchas:
this in cases or sel must resolve to the this of the class originally enclosing the match,
not of the anonymous partial function subclassan alternative TODO: add partial function AST node or equivalent and get rid of this synthesis --> do everything in uncurry (or later) however, note that pattern matching codegen is designed to run *before* uncurry
Synthesize and type check the implementation of a type with a Single Abstract Method
Synthesize and type check the implementation of a type with a Single Abstract Method
{ (p1: T1, ..., pN: TN) => body } : S
expands to (where S is the expected type that defines a single abstract method named apply)
{
def apply$body(p1: T1, ..., pN: TN): T = body
new S {
def apply(p1: T1', ..., pN: TN'): T' = apply$body(p1,..., pN)
}
}
If 'T' is not fully defined, it is inferred by type checking
apply$body without a result type before type checking the block.
The method's inferred result type is used instead of T. [See test/files/pos/sammy_poly.scala]
The apply method is identified by the argument sam; S corresponds to the argument samClassTp,
and resPt is derived from samClassTp -- it may be fully defined, or not...
If it is not fully defined, we derive samClassTpFullyDefined by inferring any unknown type parameters.
The types T1' ... TN' and T' are derived from the method signature of the sam method,
as seen from the fully defined samClassTpFullyDefined.
The function's body is put in a method outside of the class definition to enforce scoping.
S's members should not be in scope in body.
The restriction on implicit arguments (neither S's constructor, nor sam may take an implicit argument list),
is largely to keep the implementation of type inference (the computation of samClassTpFullyDefined) simple.
NOTE: it would be nicer to not have to type check apply$body separately when T is not fully defined.
However T must be fully defined before we type the instantiation, as it'll end up as a parent type,
which must be fully defined. Would be nice to have some kind of mechanism to insert type vars in a block of code,
and have the instantiation of the first occurrence propagate to the rest of the block.

Remove definition annotations from modifiers (they have been saved
into the symbol's annotations in the type completer / namer)
However reification does need annotation definitions to proceed. Unfortunately, AnnotationInfo doesn't provide enough info to reify it in general case. The biggest problem is with the "atp: Type" field, which cannot be reified in some situations that involve locally defined annotations. See more about that in Reifiers.scala.
That's why the original tree gets saved into original field of AnnotationInfo (happens elsewhere).
The field doesn't get pickled/unpickled and exists only during a single compilation run.
This simultaneously allows us to reify annotations and to preserve backward compatibility.
