object ManifestFactory
ManifestFactory defines factory methods for manifests.
It is intended for use by the compiler and should not be used in client code.
Unlike Manifest, this factory isn't annotated with a deprecation warning.
This is done to prevent avalanches of deprecation warnings in the code that calls methods with manifests.
Why so complicated? Read up the comments for ClassManifestFactory.

def
abstractType[T](prefix: Manifest[_], name: String, upperBound: Class[_], args: Manifest[_]*): Manifest[T]
Manifest for the abstract type
prefix # name.Manifest for the abstract type
prefix # name.upperBoundis not strictly necessary as it could be obtained by reflection. It was added so that erasure can be calculated without reflection. - def arrayType[T](arg: Manifest[_]): Manifest[Array[T]]
-
def
classType[T](prefix: Manifest[_], clazz: Class[_], args: Manifest[_]*): Manifest[T]
Manifest for the class type
clazz[args], whereclazzis a class with non-package prefix typeprefixand type argumentsargs. -
def
classType[T](clazz: Class[T], arg1: Manifest[_], args: Manifest[_]*): Manifest[T]
Manifest for the class type
clazz, whereclazzis a top-level or static class and args are its type arguments. -
def
classType[T](clazz: Class[_]): Manifest[T]
Manifest for the class type
clazz[args], whereclazzis a top-level or static class.Manifest for the class type
clazz[args], whereclazzis a top-level or static class.- Note
This no-prefix, no-arguments case is separate because we it's called from ScalaRunTime.boxArray itself. If we pass varargs as arrays into this, we get an infinitely recursive call to boxArray. (Besides, having a separate case is more efficient)
-
def
intersectionType[T](parents: Manifest[_]*): Manifest[T]
Manifest for the intersection type
parents_0 with ... with parents_n. -
def
singleType[T <: AnyRef](value: AnyRef): Manifest[T]
Manifest for the singleton type
value.type. - def valueManifests: List[AnyValManifest[_]]

def
wildcardType[T](lowerBound: Manifest[_], upperBound: Manifest[_]): Manifest[T]
Manifest for the unknown type
_ >: L <: Uin an existential.

Package structure
The scala package contains core types like
Int,Float,ArrayorOptionwhich are accessible in all Scala compilation units without explicit qualification or imports.Notable packages include:
scala.collectionand its sub-packages contain Scala's collections frameworkscala.collection.immutable- Immutable, sequential data-structures such asVector,List,Range,HashMaporHashSetscala.collection.mutable- Mutable, sequential data-structures such asArrayBuffer,StringBuilder,HashMaporHashSetscala.collection.concurrent- Mutable, concurrent data-structures such asTrieMapscala.collection.parallel.immutable- Immutable, parallel data-structures such asParVector,ParRange,ParHashMaporParHashSetscala.collection.parallel.mutable- Mutable, parallel data-structures such asParArray,ParHashMap,ParTrieMaporParHashSetscala.concurrent- Primitives for concurrent programming such asFuturesandPromisesscala.io- Input and output operationsscala.math- Basic math functions and additional numeric types likeBigIntandBigDecimalscala.sys- Interaction with other processes and the operating systemscala.util.matching- Regular expressionsOther packages exist. See the complete list on the right.
Additional parts of the standard library are shipped as separate libraries. These include:
scala.reflect- Scala's reflection API (scala-reflect.jar)scala.xml- XML parsing, manipulation, and serialization (scala-xml.jar)scala.swing- A convenient wrapper around Java's GUI framework called Swing (scala-swing.jar)scala.util.parsing- Parser combinators, including an example implementation of a JSON parser (scala-parser-combinators.jar)Automatic imports
Identifiers in the scala package and the
scala.Predefobject are always in scope by default.Some of these identifiers are type aliases provided as shortcuts to commonly used classes. For example,
Listis an alias forscala.collection.immutable.List.Other aliases refer to classes provided by the underlying platform. For example, on the JVM,
Stringis an alias forjava.lang.String.
