### Abstract Value Members

1. #### abstract def bind(newReceiver: Any): Universe.FieldMirror

   Creates a new mirror which uses the same symbol, but is bound to a different receiver.

   Creates a new mirror which uses the same symbol, but is bound to a different receiver. This is significantly faster than recreating the mirror from scratch.

2. #### abstract def get: Any

   Retrieves the value stored in the field.

   Retrieves the value stored in the field.

   Scala reflection uses reflection capabilities of the underlying platform, so `FieldMirror.get` might throw platform-specific exceptions associated with getting a field or invoking a getter method of the field.

   If `symbol` represents a field of a base class with respect to the class of the receiver, and this base field is overriden in the class of the receiver, then this method will retrieve the value of the base field. To achieve overriding behavior, use reflectMethod on an accessor.

3. #### abstract def receiver: Any

   The object containing the field

4. #### abstract def set(value: Any): Unit

   Updates the value stored in the field.

   Updates the value stored in the field.

   If a field is immutable, a `ScalaReflectionException` will be thrown.

   Scala reflection uses reflection capabilities of the underlying platform, so `FieldMirror.get` might throw platform-specific exceptions associated with setting a field or invoking a setter method of the field.

   If `symbol` represents a field of a base class with respect to the class of the receiver, and this base field is overriden in the class of the receiver, then this method will set the value of the base field. To achieve overriding behavior, use reflectMethod on an accessor.

5. #### abstract def symbol: Universe.TermSymbol

   The field symbol representing the field.

   The field symbol representing the field.

   In Scala `val` and `var` declarations are usually compiled down to a pair of a backing field and corresponding accessor/accessors, which means that a single declaration might correspond to up to three different symbols. Nevertheless the `FieldMirror.symbol` field always points to a backing field symbol.
