### Type Members

1.  class ImplicitAnnotationMsg extends AnyRef
2.  class ImplicitInfo extends AnyRef

   A class that records an available implicit

3.  class ImplicitSearch extends Analyzer.Typer with Analyzer.ImplicitsContextErrors

   A class that sets up an implicit search.

   A class that sets up an implicit search. For more info, see comments for `inferImplicit`.

4.  class Message extends AnyRef
5.  case class OpenImplicit(info: Analyzer.ImplicitInfo, pt: Global.Type, tree: Global.Tree) extends Product with Serializable

   A class which is used to track pending implicits to prevent infinite implicit searches.

6.  class SearchResult extends AnyRef

   The result of an implicit search

6.  lazy val AmbiguousSearchFailure: Analyzer.SearchResult

8.  val NoImplicitInfo: Analyzer.ImplicitInfo

9.  lazy val SearchFailure: Analyzer.SearchResult
10.  def allViewsFrom(tp: Global.Type, context: Analyzer.Context, tpars: List[Global.Symbol]): List[(Analyzer.SearchResult, List[Global.TypeConstraint])]

    Find all views from type `tp` (in which `tpars` are free)

    Find all views from type `tp` (in which `tpars` are free)

    Note that the trees in the search results in the returned list share the same type variables. Ignore their constr field! The list of type constraints returned along with each tree specifies the constraints that must be met by the corresponding type parameter in `tpars` (for the returned implicit view to be valid).

    tp

      from-type for the implicit conversion

    context

      search implicits here

    tpars

      symbols that should be considered free type variables (implicit search should not try to solve them, just track their constraints)

    A friendly wrapper over inferImplicit to be used in macro contexts and toolboxes.

24.  def inferImplicit(tree: Global.Tree, pt: Global.Type, reportAmbiguous: Boolean, isView: Boolean, context: Analyzer.Context, saveAmbiguousDivergent: Boolean, pos: Global.Position): Analyzer.SearchResult

    Search for an implicit value.

    Search for an implicit value. Consider using one of the convenience methods above. This one has many boolean levers.

    See the comment on `result` at the end of class `ImplicitSearch` for more info how the search is conducted.

    tree

      The tree for which the implicit needs to be inserted. (the inference might instantiate some of the undetermined type parameters of that tree.

    pt

      The expected type of the implicit.

    reportAmbiguous

      Should ambiguous implicit errors be reported? False iff we search for a view to find out whether one type is coercible to another.

    isView

      We are looking for a view

    context

      The current context

    saveAmbiguousDivergent

      False if any divergent/ambiguous errors should be ignored after implicits search, true if they should be reported (used in further typechecking).

    pos

      Position that should be used for tracing and error reporting (useful when we infer synthetic stuff and pass EmptyTree in the `tree` argument) If it's set to NoPosition, then position-based services will use `tree.pos`

    returns

      A search result
