scala.tools.nsc.backend.jvm.GenASM
Returns a new ClassWriter for the class given by arguments.
Returns a new ClassWriter for the class given by arguments.
the class's access flags. This parameter also indicates if the class is deprecated.
the internal name of the class.
the signature of this class. May be null if the class is not a generic one, and does not extend or implement generic classes or interfaces.
the internal of name of the super class. For interfaces,
the super class is Object. May be null, but
only for the Object class.
the internal names of the class's interfaces (see
Type#getInternalName() getInternalName). May be
null.
For given symbol return a symbol corresponding to a class that should be declared as inner class.
For given symbol return a symbol corresponding to a class that should be declared as inner class.
For example: class A { class B object C }
then method will return: NoSymbol for A, the same symbol for A.B (corresponding to A$B class), and A$C$ symbol for A.C.
Return the name of this symbol that can be used on the Java platform.
Return the name of this symbol that can be used on the Java platform. It removes spaces from names.
Special handling: scala.Nothing erases to scala.runtime.Nothing$ scala.Null erases to scala.runtime.Null$
This is needed because they are not real classes, and they mean 'abrupt termination upon evaluation of that expression' or null respectively. This handling is done already in GenICode, but here we need to remove references from method signatures to these types, because such classes cannot exist in the classpath: the type checker will be very confused.
