Attachments

abstract class Attachments extends AnyRef

EXPERIMENTAL

Attachments provide a way to associate custom metadata with symbols and trees.

Along with symbol and tpe, which represent core metadata of trees, each tree carries the attachments field that can store other metadata: compiler-defined (e.g. positions) or user-defined. Same story is true for symbols, which also have extensible metadata by the virtue of the same attachments field.

Typically attachments just store a scala.reflect.api.Position, but they can be extended to encompass arbitrary payloads. Payloads are stored in type-indexed slots, which can be read with get[T] and written with update[T] and remove[T].

This API doesn't have much use in the runtime reflection API (the scala.reflect.api package), but it might be of help for macro writers, providing a way to coordinate multiple macros operating on the same code. Therefore the attachments field is only declared in trees and symbols belonging to scala.reflect.macros.Universe.
