Generate a runtime signature for a class (type).
Generate a runtime signature for a class (type). For instance:
java.lang.String -> Ljava/lang/String; int -> I
The class (type)
its string signature
Determine if a value is of, or is assignable to, a specified type.
Determine if a value is of, or is assignable to, a specified type. Works with generics. Example of use:
val value: Any = ... assert(isOfType[Map[String,Int]](value))
the type against which to check the value
whether or not value conforms to type T
Determine whether a class represents an underlying primitive or not.
Determine whether a class represents an underlying primitive or not.
For instance, Int, Float and Unit all represent underlying
primitives. Note that Java classes are considered primitives if they
*are*, in fact, primitives, or if they represent boxed forms of
primitives.
the class
true if the class represents a primitive, false if not
Determine whether an object is a primitive or not.
Determine whether an object is a primitive or not.
the object
true if its class is a primitive, false if not.
