  The BTypes component defines The BType class hierarchy. A BType stores all type information that is required after building the ASM nodes. This includes optimizations, generation of InnerClass attributes and generation of stack map frames.

  The representation is immutable and independent of the compiler data structures, hence it can be queried by concurrent threads.

###
Companion object ClassBType

#### sealed abstract class ClassBType extends RefBType

A ClassBType represents a class or interface type. The necessary information to build a ClassBType is extracted from compiler symbols and types, see BTypesFromSymbols.

The `info` field contains either the class information on an error message why the info could not be computed. There are two reasons for an erroneous info:

1. The ClassBType was built from a class symbol that stems from a java source file, and the symbol's type could not be completed successfully (scala/bug#9111) 2. The ClassBType should be built from a classfile, but the class could not be found on the compilation classpath.

Note that all ClassBTypes required in a non-optimized run are built during code generation from the class symbols referenced by the ASTs, so they have a valid info. Therefore the backend often invokes `info.get` (which asserts the info to exist) when reading data from the ClassBType.

The inliner on the other hand uses ClassBTypes that are built from classfiles, which may have a missing info. In order not to crash the compiler unnecessarily, the inliner does not force infos using `get`, but it reports inliner warnings for missing infos that prevent inlining.

    The class or array type of this reference type. Used for ANEWARRAY, MULTIANEWARRAY, INSTANCEOF and CHECKCAST instructions. Also used for emitting invokevirtual calls to (a: Array[T]).clone() for any T, see genApply.

    In contrast to the descriptor, this string does not contain the surrounding 'L' and ';' for class types, for example "java/lang/String". However, for array types, the full descriptor is used, for example "[Ljava/lang/String;".

    This can be verified for example using javap or ASMifier.
