Abstract Value Members

  1. abstract def <:<(that: Universe.Type): Boolean

    Does this type conform to given type argument that?

  2. abstract def =:=(that: Universe.Type): Boolean

    Is this type equivalent to given type argument that?

  3. abstract def asSeenFrom(pre: Universe.Type, clazz: Universe.Symbol): Universe.Type

    This type as seen from prefix pre and class clazz.

    This type as seen from prefix pre and class clazz. This means: Replace all ThisTypes of clazz or one of its subclasses by pre and instantiate all parameters by arguments of pre. Proceed analogously for ThisTypes referring to outer classes.

    Example:

    scala> import scala.reflect.runtime.universe._
    import scala.reflect.runtime.universe._
    
    scala> class D[T] { def m: T = ??? }
    defined class D
    
    scala> class C extends D[Int]
    defined class C
    
    scala> val D = typeOf[D[_]].typeSymbol.asClass
    D: reflect.runtime.universe.ClassSymbol = class D
    
    scala> val C = typeOf[C].typeSymbol.asClass
    C: reflect.runtime.universe.ClassSymbol = class C
    
    scala> val T = D.typeParams(0).asType.toType
    T: reflect.runtime.universe.Type = T
    
    scala> T.asSeenFrom(ThisType(C), D)
    res0: reflect.runtime.universe.Type = scala.Int
  4. abstract def baseClasses: List[Universe.Symbol]

  5. abstract def baseType(clazz: Universe.Symbol): Universe.Type

    The least type instance of given class which is a super-type of this type.

    The least type instance of given class which is a super-type of this type. Example:

    class D[T]
    class C extends p.D[Int]
    ThisType(C).baseType(D) = p.D[Int]
  6. abstract def companion: Universe.Type

    Type signature of the companion of the underlying class symbol.

    Type signature of the companion of the underlying class symbol. NoType if the underlying symbol is not a class symbol, or if it doesn't have a companion.

  7. abstract def contains(sym: Universe.Symbol): Boolean

    Does this type contain a reference to given symbol?

  8. abstract def dealias: Universe.Type

    Expands type aliases arising from type members.

    Expands type aliases arising from type members. Note that type aliases can hide beneath singleton types and singleton types can hide inside type aliases. Moreover, aliases might lurk in the upper bounds of abstract types. Therefore careful thought has to be applied to identify and carry out unwrapping logic specific to your use case.

  9. abstract def decl(name: Universe.Name): Universe.Symbol

    The defined or declared members with name name in this type; an OverloadedSymbol if several exist, NoSymbol if none exist.

    A Scope containing directly declared members of this type.

    A Scope containing directly declared members of this type. Unlike members this method doesn't returns inherited members.

    Members in the returned scope might appear in arbitrary order. Use declarations.sorted to get an ordered list of members.

  11. abstract def erasure: Universe.Type

    The erased type corresponding to this type after all transformations from Scala to Java have been performed.

  12. abstract def etaExpand: Universe.Type

    Converts higher-kinded TypeRefs to PolyTypes.

    Converts higher-kinded TypeRefs to PolyTypes. Functions on types are also implemented as PolyTypes.

    Example: (in the below, <List> is the type constructor of List) TypeRef(pre, <List>, List()) is replaced by PolyType(X, TypeRef(pre, <List>, List(X)))

  13. abstract def exists(p: (Universe.Type) ⇒ Boolean): Boolean

    Is there part of this type which satisfies predicate p?

  14. abstract def finalResultType: Universe.Type

    For a curried/nullary method or poly type its non-method result type, the type itself for all other types.
