This trait provides support for importers, a facility to migrate reflection artifacts between universes.
This trait provides support for importers, a facility to migrate reflection artifacts between universes. Note: this trait should typically be used only rarely.
Reflection artifacts, such as Symbols and Types,
are contained in Universes. Typically all processing happens
within a single Universe
(e.g. a compile-time macro Universe
or a runtime reflection Universe
), but sometimes
there is a need to migrate artifacts from one Universe
to another. For example, runtime compilation works by
importing runtime reflection trees into a runtime compiler universe, compiling the importees and exporting the
result back.
Reflection artifacts are firmly grounded in their Universe
s, which is reflected by the fact that types of artifacts
from different universes are not compatible. By using Importer
s, however, they be imported from one universe
into another. For example, to import foo.bar.Baz
from the source Universe
to the target Universe
,
an importer will first check whether the entire owner chain exists in the target Universe
.
If it does, then nothing else will be done. Otherwise, the importer will recreate the entire owner chain
and will import the corresponding type signatures into the target Universe
.
Since importers match Symbol
tables of the source and the target Universe
s using plain string names,
it is programmer's responsibility to make sure that imports don't distort semantics, e.g., that
foo.bar.Baz
in the source Universe
means the same that foo.bar.Baz
does in the target Universe
.
Here's how one might implement a macro that performs compile-time evaluation of its argument by using a runtime compiler to compile and evaluate a tree that belongs to a compile-time compiler:
def staticEval[T](x: T) = macro staticEval[T] def staticEval[T](c: scala.reflect.macros.blackbox.Context)(x: c.Expr[T]) = { // creates a runtime reflection universe to host runtime compilation import scala.reflect.runtime.{universe => ru} val mirror = ru.runtimeMirror(c.libraryClassLoader) import scala.tools.reflect.ToolBox val toolBox = mirror.mkToolBox() // runtime reflection universe and compile-time macro universe are different // therefore an importer is needed to bridge them // currently mkImporter requires a cast to correctly assign the path-dependent types val importer0 = ru.internal.mkImporter(c.universe) val importer = importer0.asInstanceOf[ru.internal.Importer { val from: c.universe.type }] // the created importer is used to turn a compiler tree into a runtime compiler tree // both compilers use the same classpath, so semantics remains intact val imported = importer.importTree(tree) // after the tree is imported, it can be evaluated as usual val tree = toolBox.untypecheck(imported.duplicate) val valueOfX = toolBox.eval(imported).asInstanceOf[T] ... }

Reflection API exhibits a tension inherent to experimental things: on the one hand we want it to grow into a beautiful and robust API, but on the other hand we have to deal with immaturity of underlying mechanisms by providing not very pretty solutions to enable important use cases.
Reflection API exhibits a tension inherent to experimental things: on the one hand we want it to grow into a beautiful and robust API, but on the other hand we have to deal with immaturity of underlying mechanisms by providing not very pretty solutions to enable important use cases.
In Scala 2.10, which was our first stab at reflection API, we didn't have a systematic approach to dealing with this tension, sometimes exposing too much of internals (e.g. Symbol.deSkolemize) and sometimes exposing too little (e.g. there's still no facility to change owners, to do typing transformations, etc). This resulted in certain confusion with some internal APIs living among public ones, scaring the newcomers, and some internal APIs only available via casting, which requires intimate knowledge of the compiler and breaks compatibility guarantees.
This led to creation of the internal
API module for the reflection API, which
provides advanced APIs necessary for macros that push boundaries of the state of the art,
clearly demarcating them from the more or less straightforward rest and
providing compatibility guarantees on par with the rest of the reflection API
(full compatibility within minor releases, best effort towards backward compatibility within major releases,
clear replacement path in case of rare incompatible changes in major releases).
The internal
module itself (the value that implements InternalApi) isn't defined here,
in scala.reflect.api.Universe, but is provided on per-implementation basis. Runtime API endpoint
(scala.reflect.runtime.universe) provides universe.compat: InternalApi
, whereas compile-time API endpoints
(instances of scala.reflect.macros.Context) provide c.compat: ContextInternalApi
, which extends InternalApi
with additional universe-specific and context-specific functionality.

A type function or the type of a polymorphic value (and thus of kind *).
A type function or the type of a polymorphic value (and thus of kind *).
Before the introduction of NullaryMethodType, a polymorphic nullary method (e.g, def isInstanceOf[T]: Boolean) used to be typed as PolyType(tps, restpe), and a monomorphic one as PolyType(Nil, restpe) This is now: PolyType(tps, NullaryMethodType(restpe)) and NullaryMethodType(restpe) by symmetry to MethodTypes: PolyType(tps, MethodType(params, restpe)) and MethodType(params, restpe)
Thus, a PolyType(tps, TypeRef(...)) unambiguously indicates a type function (which results from eta-expanding a type constructor alias). Similarly, PolyType(tps, ClassInfoType(...)) is a type constructor.
A polytype is of kind * iff its resultType is a (nullary) method type.

If an implicit value of type WeakTypeTag[T]
is required, the compiler will create one,
and the reflective representation of T
can be accessed via the tpe
field.
Components of T
can be references to type parameters or abstract types. Note that WeakTypeTag
makes an effort to be as concrete as possible, i.e. if TypeTag
s are available for the referenced type arguments
or abstract types, they are used to embed the concrete types into the WeakTypeTag. Otherwise the WeakTypeTag will
contain a reference to an abstract type. This behavior can be useful, when one expects T
to be perhaps be partially
abstract, but requires special care to handle this case. However, if T
is expected to be fully known, use
scala.reflect.api.TypeTags#TypeTag instead, which statically guarantees this property.

Type application is just like value application: it's "contravariant" in the sense that the type parameters of the supplied type arguments must conform to the type parameters of the required type parameters:
e.g. class Iterable[t, m[+x <: t]] --> the application Iterable[Int, List] is okay, since List's type parameter is also covariant and its bounds are weaker than <: Int

The eq
method implements an equivalence relation on
non-null instances of AnyRef
, and has three additional properties:
x
and y
of type AnyRef
, multiple invocations of
x.eq(y)
consistently returns true
or consistently returns false
.x
of type AnyRef
, x.eq(null)
and null.eq(x)
returns false
.null.eq(null)
returns true
. When overriding the equals
or hashCode
methods, it is important to ensure that their behavior is
consistent with reference equality. Therefore, if two objects are references to each other (o1 eq o2
), they
should be equal to each other (o1 == o2
) and they should hash to the same value (o1.hashCode == o2.hashCode
).
true

otherwise.

A creator for existential types.
A creator for existential types. This generates:
tpe1 where { tparams }
where tpe1
is the result of extrapolating tpe
with respect to tparams
.
Extrapolating means that type variables in tparams
occurring
in covariant positions are replaced by upper bounds, (minus any
SingletonClass markers), type variables in tparams
occurring in
contravariant positions are replaced by upper bounds, provided the
resulting type is legal with regard to stability, and does not contain any type
variable in tparams
.
The abstraction drops all type parameters that are not directly or
indirectly referenced by type tpe1
. If there are no remaining type
parameters, simply returns result type tpe
.
Given a set rawSyms
of term- and type-symbols, and a type

Given a set rawSyms
of term- and type-symbols, and a type
tp
, produce a set of fresh type parameters and a type so that
it can be abstracted to an existential type. Every type symbol
T
in rawSyms
is mapped to a clone. Every term symbol x
of
type T
in rawSyms
is given an associated type symbol of the
following form:
type x.type <: T with Singleton
The name of the type parameter is x.type
, to produce nice
diagnostics. The Singleton parent ensures that the type
parameter is still seen as a stable type. Type symbols in
rawSyms are fully replaced by the new symbols. Term symbols are
also replaced, except for term symbols of an Ident tree, where
only the type of the Ident is changed.

This means that we can make certain assumptions to optimize the universe.

On the other hand, this also means that usage scenarios of the universe will differ from the conventional ones. For example, we have to do additional cleanup in order to prevent memory leaks: http://groups.google.com/group/scala-internals/browse_thread/thread/eabcf3d406dab8b2.

The raw to existential map converts a raw type to an existential type.
The raw to existential map converts a raw type to an existential type. It is necessary because we might have read a raw type of a parameterized Java class from a class file. At the time we read the type the corresponding class file might still not be read, so we do not know what the type parameters of the type are. Therefore the conversion of raw types to existential types might not have taken place in ClassFileparser.sigToType (where it is usually done).
