  1. def etaExpand(unit: Global.CompilationUnit, tree: Global.Tree, owner: Global.Symbol)(implicit creator: FreshNameCreator): Global.Tree

    Expand partial method application p.f(es_1)...(es_n).

    Expand partial method application p.f(es_1)...(es_n). Does not support dependent method types (yet).

    We expand this to the following block, which evaluates the target of the application and its supplied arguments if needed (they are not stable), and then wraps a Function that abstracts over the missing arguments.

    { private synthetic val eta$f = p.f // if p is not stable ... private synthetic val eta$e_i = e_i // if e_i is not stable ... (ps_1 => ... => ps_m => eta$f([es_1])...([es_m])(ps_1)...(ps_m)) }

    This is called from typedEtaExpansion, which itself is called from

    • instantiateToMethodType (for a naked method reference), or
    • typedEta (when type checking a method value, m _).
