Denotation

The denotation made up from the alternatives of this denotation that are accessible from prefix pre, or NoDenotation if no accessible alternative exists.

The alternatives of this denotation that satisfy the predicate p.

Resolve overloaded denotation to pick the ones with the given signature when seen from prefix site.

The variant of this denotation that's current in the given context. If no such denotation exists, returns the denotation with each alternative at its first point of definition.

Keep only those denotations in this group which satisfy predicate p.

Does this denotation have an alternative that satisfies the predicate p?

Denotation points to unique symbol; false for overloaded denotations and JointRef denotations.

The type info, or, if this is a SymDenotation where the symbol is not yet completed, the completer

Is this a reference to a type symbol?

A denotation with the info of this denotation transformed using f

The name of the denotation

The signature of the denotation.

The unique alternative of this denotation that satisfies the predicate p, or NoDenotation if no satisfying alternative exists.

The period during which this denotation is valid.

The set of alternative single-denotations making up this denotation

If this is a SingleDenotation, return it, otherwise throw a TypeError

Group contains a denotation that refers to given symbol

If this denotation is overloaded, filter with given predicate. If result is still overloaded throw a TypeError. Note: disambiguate is slightly different from suchThat in that single-denotations that do not satisfy the predicate are left alone (whereas suchThat would map them to NoDenotation).

Is this denotation different from NoDenotation or an ErrorDenotation?

Find member of this denotation with given name, all required flags and no excluded flag, and produce a denotation that contains the type of the member as seen from given prefix pre.

The type info. The info is an instance of TypeType iff this is a type denotation Uncompleted denotations set myInfo to a LazyType.

Is this denotation overloaded?

Is this a reference to a term symbol?

The alternative of this denotation that has a type matching targetType when seen as a member of type site and that has a target name matching targetName, or NoDenotation if none exists.

Form a denotation by conjoining with denotation that.

NoDenotations are dropped. MultiDenotations are handled by merging parts with same signatures. SingleDenotations with equal signatures are joined by following this sequence of steps:

1. If exactly one the denotations has an inaccessible symbol, pick the other one.
2. Otherwise, if one of the infos overrides the other one, and the associated symbol does not score strictly lower than the other one, pick the associated denotation.
3. Otherwise, if the two infos can be combined with infoMeet, pick that as result info, and pick the symbol that scores higher as result symbol, or pick sym1 as a tie breaker. The picked info and symbol are combined in a JointDenotation.
4. Otherwise, if one of the two symbols scores strongly higher than the other one, pick the associated denotation.
5. Otherwise return a multi-denotation consisting of both denotations.

Symbol scoring is determined according to the following ranking where earlier criteria trump later ones. Cases marked with (*) give a strong score advantage, the others a weak one.

1. The symbol exists, and the other one does not. (*)
2. The symbol is not a bridge, but the other one is. (*)
3. The symbol is concrete, and the other one is deferred
4. The symbol appears before the other in the linearization of pre
5. The symbol's visibility is strictly greater than the other one's.
6. The symbol is a method, but the other one is not.

If this denotation does not exist, fallback to alternative

Return symbol in this denotation that satisfies the given predicate. if generateStubs is specified, return a stubsymbol if denotation is a missing ref. Throw a TypeError if predicate fails to disambiguate symbol or no alternative matches.

Convert to full denotation by &-ing all elements

The text representation of this showable element. This normally dispatches to a pattern matching method in Printers.

Map f over all single denotations and aggregate the results with g.

The denotation with info(s) as seen from prefix type

A fallback text representation, if the pattern matching in Printers does not have a case for this showable element

Keep only those denotations in this group which have a signature that's not already defined by denots.

Keep only those denotations in this group that have all of the flags in required, but none of the flags in excluded.

First/last denotation in the group

Keep only those inherited members M of this predenotation for which the following is true

• M is not marked Private
• If M has a unique symbol, it does not appear in prevDenots.
• M's signature as seen from prefix pre does not appear in ownDenots Return the denotation as seen from pre. Called from SymDenotations.computeMember. There, ownDenots are the denotations found in the base class, which shadow any inherited denotations with the same signature. prevDenots are the denotations that are defined in the class or inherited from a base type which comes earlier in the linearization.

Group contains a denotation with the same signature as other

The string representation of this showable element.

The string representation with each line after the first one indented by the given given margin (in spaces).

The summarized string representation of this showable element. Recursion depth is limited to some smallish value. Default is Config.summarizeDepth.

The union of two groups.
