Universe

abstract class Universe extends Symbols with Types with FlagSets with Scopes with Names with Trees with Constants with Annotations with Positions with Exprs with TypeTags with ImplicitTags with StandardDefinitions with StandardNames with StandardLiftables with Mirrors with Printers with Liftables with Quasiquotes with Internals

EXPERIMENTAL

Universe provides a complete set of reflection operations which make it possible for one to reflectively inspect Scala type relations, such as membership or subtyping.

scala.reflect.api.Universe has two specialized sub-universes for different scenarios. scala.reflect.api.JavaUniverse adds operations that link symbols and types to the underlying classes and runtime values of a JVM instance-- this can be thought of as the Universe that should be used for all typical use-cases of Scala reflection. scala.reflect.macros.Universe adds operations which allow macros to access selected compiler data structures and operations-- this type of Universe should only ever exist within the implementation of a Scala macro.

Universe can be thought of as the entry point to Scala reflection. It mixes-in, and thus provides an interface to the following main types:

  • Types represent types
  • Symbols represent definitions
  • Trees represent abstract syntax trees
  • Names represent term and type names
  • Annotations represent annotations
  • Positions represent source positions of tree nodes
  • FlagSet represent sets of flags that apply to symbols and definition trees
  • Constants represent compile-time constants.

To obtain a Universe to use with Scala runtime reflection, simply make sure to use or import scala.reflect.runtime.universe._

scala> import scala.reflect.runtime.universe._
import scala.reflect.runtime.universe._

scala> typeOf[List[Int]]
res0: reflect.runtime.universe.Type = scala.List[Int]

scala> typeOf[Either[String, Int]]
res1: reflect.runtime.universe.Type = scala.Either[String,Int]

To obtain a Universe for use within a Scala macro, use scala.reflect.macros.blackbox.Context#universe. or scala.reflect.macros.whitebox.Context#universe. For example:

def printf(format: String, params: Any*): Unit = macro impl
def impl(c: Context)(format: c.Expr[String], params: c.Expr[Any]*): c.Expr[Unit] = {
  import c.universe._
  ...
}

  4. abstract type Constant >: Null <: Universe.ConstantApi

    This "virtual" case class represents the reflection interface for literal expressions which can not be further broken down or evaluated, such as "true", "0", "classOf[List]".

    This "virtual" case class represents the reflection interface for literal expressions which can not be further broken down or evaluated, such as "true", "0", "classOf[List]". Such values become parts of the Scala abstract syntax tree representing the program. The constants correspond to section 6.24 "Constant Expressions" of the Scala Language Specification.

    Such constants are used to represent literals in abstract syntax trees (the scala.reflect.api.Trees#Literal node) and literal arguments for Java class file annotations (the scala.reflect.api.Annotations#LiteralArgument class).

    Constants can be matched against and can be constructed directly, as if they were case classes:

    assert(Constant(true).value == true)
    Constant(true) match {
      case Constant(s: String) =>  println("A string: " + s)
      case Constant(b: Boolean) => println("A boolean value: " + b)
      case Constant(x) =>          println("Something else: " + x)
    }

    Constant instances can wrap certain kinds of these expressions:

    1. Literals of primitive value classes (Byte, Short, Int, Long, Float, Double, Char, Boolean and Unit) - represented directly as the corresponding type
    2. String literals - represented as instances of the String.
    3. References to classes, typically constructed with scala.Predef#classOf - represented as types.
    4. References to enumeration values - represented as symbols.

    Class references are represented as instances of scala.reflect.api.Types#Type (because when the Scala compiler processes a class reference, the underlying runtime class might not yet have been compiled). To convert such a reference to a runtime class, one should use the runtimeClass method of a mirror such as RuntimeMirror (the simplest way to get such a mirror is using scala.reflect.runtime.currentMirror).

    Enumeration value references are represented as instances of scala.reflect.api.Symbols#Symbol, which on JVM point to methods that return underlying enum values. To inspect an underlying enumeration or to get runtime value of a reference to an enum, one should use a scala.reflect.api.Mirrors#RuntimeMirror (the simplest way to get such a mirror is again scala.reflect.runtime.package#currentMirror).

    Usage example:

    enum JavaSimpleEnumeration { FOO, BAR }
    
    import java.lang.annotation.*;
    @Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
    @Target({ElementType.TYPE})
    public @interface JavaSimpleAnnotation {
      Class<?> classRef();
      JavaSimpleEnumeration enumRef();
    }
    
    @JavaSimpleAnnotation(
      classRef = JavaAnnottee.class,
      enumRef = JavaSimpleEnumeration.BAR
    )
    public class JavaAnnottee {}
    import scala.reflect.runtime.universe._
    import scala.reflect.runtime.{currentMirror => cm}
    
    object Test extends App {
      val jann = typeOf[JavaAnnottee].typeSymbol.annotations(0).javaArgs
      def jarg(name: String) = jann(TermName(name)) match {
        // Constant is always wrapped into a Literal or LiteralArgument tree node
        case LiteralArgument(ct: Constant) => value
        case _ => sys.error("Not a constant")
      }
    
      val classRef = jarg("classRef").value.asInstanceOf[Type]
                                             // ideally one should match instead of casting
      println(showRaw(classRef))             // TypeRef(ThisType(), JavaAnnottee, List())
      println(cm.runtimeClass(classRef))     // class JavaAnnottee
    
      val enumRef = jarg("enumRef").value.asInstanceOf[Symbol]
                                             // ideally one should match instead of casting
      println(enumRef)                       // value BAR
    
      val siblings = enumRef.owner.info.decls
      val enumValues = siblings.filter(sym => sym.isVal && sym.isPublic)
      println(enumValues)                    // Scope{
                                             //   final val FOO: JavaSimpleEnumeration;
                                             //   final val BAR: JavaSimpleEnumeration
                                             // }
    
      // doesn't work because of https://github.com/scala/bug/issues/6459
      // val enumValue = mirror.reflectField(enumRef.asTerm).get
      val enumClass = cm.runtimeClass(enumRef.owner.asClass)
      val enumValue = enumClass.getDeclaredField(enumRef.name.toString).get(null)
      println(enumValue)                     // BAR

  17. trait Importer extends AnyRef

    This trait provides support for importers, a facility to migrate reflection artifacts between universes.

    This trait provides support for importers, a facility to migrate reflection artifacts between universes. Note: this trait should typically be used only rarely.

    Reflection artifacts, such as Symbols and Types, are contained in Universes. Typically all processing happens within a single Universe (e.g. a compile-time macro Universe or a runtime reflection Universe), but sometimes there is a need to migrate artifacts from one Universe to another. For example, runtime compilation works by importing runtime reflection trees into a runtime compiler universe, compiling the importees and exporting the result back.

    Reflection artifacts are firmly grounded in their Universes, which is reflected by the fact that types of artifacts from different universes are not compatible. By using Importers, however, they be imported from one universe into another. For example, to import foo.bar.Baz from the source Universe to the target Universe, an importer will first check whether the entire owner chain exists in the target Universe. If it does, then nothing else will be done. Otherwise, the importer will recreate the entire owner chain and will import the corresponding type signatures into the target Universe.

    Since importers match Symbol tables of the source and the target Universes using plain string names, it is programmer's responsibility to make sure that imports don't distort semantics, e.g., that foo.bar.Baz in the source Universe means the same that foo.bar.Baz does in the target Universe.

    Example

    Here's how one might implement a macro that performs compile-time evaluation of its argument by using a runtime compiler to compile and evaluate a tree that belongs to a compile-time compiler:

    def staticEval[T](x: T) = macro staticEval[T]
    
    def staticEval[T](c: scala.reflect.macros.blackbox.Context)(x: c.Expr[T]) = {
      // creates a runtime reflection universe to host runtime compilation
      import scala.reflect.runtime.{universe => ru}
      val mirror = ru.runtimeMirror(c.libraryClassLoader)
      import scala.tools.reflect.ToolBox
      val toolBox = mirror.mkToolBox()
    
      // runtime reflection universe and compile-time macro universe are different
      // therefore an importer is needed to bridge them
      // currently mkImporter requires a cast to correctly assign the path-dependent types
      val importer0 = ru.internal.mkImporter(c.universe)
      val importer = importer0.asInstanceOf[ru.internal.Importer { val from: c.universe.type }]
    
      // the created importer is used to turn a compiler tree into a runtime compiler tree
      // both compilers use the same classpath, so semantics remains intact
      val imported = importer.importTree(tree)
    
      // after the tree is imported, it can be evaluated as usual
      val tree = toolBox.untypecheck(imported.duplicate)
      val valueOfX = toolBox.eval(imported).asInstanceOf[T]
      ...

  18. trait InternalApi extends AnyRef

    Reflection API exhibits a tension inherent to experimental things: on the one hand we want it to grow into a beautiful and robust API, but on the other hand we have to deal with immaturity of underlying mechanisms by providing not very pretty solutions to enable important use cases.

    Reflection API exhibits a tension inherent to experimental things: on the one hand we want it to grow into a beautiful and robust API, but on the other hand we have to deal with immaturity of underlying mechanisms by providing not very pretty solutions to enable important use cases.

    In Scala 2.10, which was our first stab at reflection API, we didn't have a systematic approach to dealing with this tension, sometimes exposing too much of internals (e.g. Symbol.deSkolemize) and sometimes exposing too little (e.g. there's still no facility to change owners, to do typing transformations, etc). This resulted in certain confusion with some internal APIs living among public ones, scaring the newcomers, and some internal APIs only available via casting, which requires intimate knowledge of the compiler and breaks compatibility guarantees.

    This led to creation of the internal API module for the reflection API, which provides advanced APIs necessary for macros that push boundaries of the state of the art, clearly demarcating them from the more or less straightforward rest and providing compatibility guarantees on par with the rest of the reflection API (full compatibility within minor releases, best effort towards backward compatibility within major releases, clear replacement path in case of rare incompatible changes in major releases).

    The internal module itself (the value that implements InternalApi) isn't defined here, in scala.reflect.api.Universe, but is provided on per-implementation basis. Runtime API endpoint (scala.reflect.runtime.universe) provides universe.compat: InternalApi, whereas compile-time API endpoints (instances of scala.reflect.macros.Context) provide c.compat: ContextInternalApi, which extends InternalApi with additional universe-specific and context-specific functionality.

    If an implicit value of type WeakTypeTag[T] is required, the compiler will create one, and the reflective representation of T can be accessed via the tpe field.

    If an implicit value of type WeakTypeTag[T] is required, the compiler will create one, and the reflective representation of T can be accessed via the tpe field. Components of T can be references to type parameters or abstract types. Note that WeakTypeTag makes an effort to be as concrete as possible, i.e. if TypeTags are available for the referenced type arguments or abstract types, they are used to embed the concrete types into the WeakTypeTag. Otherwise the WeakTypeTag will contain a reference to an abstract type. This behavior can be useful, when one expects T to be perhaps be partially abstract, but requires special care to handle this case. However, if T is expected to be fully known, use scala.reflect.api.TypeTags#TypeTag instead, which statically guarantees this property.

    Use reify to produce the abstract syntax tree representing a given Scala expression.

    For example:

    val five = reify{ 5 }         // Literal(Constant(5))
    reify{ 5.toString }           // Apply(Select(Literal(Constant(5)), TermName("toString")), List())
    reify{ five.splice.toString } // Apply(Select(five, TermName("toString")), List())

    The produced tree is path dependent on the Universe reify was called from.

API

The methods available for each reflection entity, without the implementation. Since the reflection entities are later overridden by runtime reflection and macros, their API counterparts guarantee a minimum set of methods that are implemented.

Extractors

Extractors provide the machinery necessary to allow pattern matching and construction of reflection entities that is similar to case classes, although the entities are only abstract types that are later overridden.
