# RefChecks

#### abstract class RefChecks extends SubComponent with InfoTransform with reflect.internal.transform.RefChecks

Post-attribution checking and transformation.

This phase performs the following checks.

- All overrides conform to rules.
- All type arguments conform to bounds.
- All type variable uses conform to variance annotations.
- No forward reference to a term symbol extends beyond a value definition.

It performs the following transformations.

- Local modules are replaced by variables and classes
- Calls to case factory methods are replaced by new's.
- Eliminate branches in a conditional if the condition is a constant

To do

  Check whether we always check type parameter bounds.
