The overloaded alternatives of this symbol
A list of annotations attached to this Symbol.
A type reference that refers to this type symbol
Note if symbol is a member of a class, one almost always is interested
in asTypeIn with a site type instead.
A type reference that refers to this type symbol
Note if symbol is a member of a class, one almost always is interested
in asTypeIn with a site type instead.
Example: Given a class declaration class C[T] { ... } , that generates a symbol
C. Then C.asType is the type C[T].
By contrast, C.typeSignature would be a type signature of form
PolyType(ClassInfoType(...)) that describes type parameters, value
parameters, parent types, and members of C.
The type constructor corresponding to this type symbol.
The type constructor corresponding to this type symbol.
This is different from asType in that type parameters
are part of results of asType, but not of asTypeConstructor.
Example: Given a class declaration class C[T] { ... } , that generates a symbol
C. Then C.asType is the type C[T], but C.asTypeConstructor is C.

as a member of given type site.

The modifiers of this symbol
If symbol is an object definition, its implied associated class, otherwise NoSymbol
The name of the symbol as a member of the Name type.
A fresh symbol with given name name, position pos and flags flags that has
the current symbol as its owner.
A fresh symbol with given name name, position pos and flags flags that has
the current symbol as its owner.
.
...
The owner of this symbol.
The owner of this symbol. This is the symbol
that directly contains the current symbol's definition.
The NoSymbol symbol does not have an owner, and calling this method
on one causes an internal error.
The owner of the Scala root class scala.reflect.api.mirror.RootClass
and the Scala root object scala.reflect.api.mirror.RootPackage is NoSymbol.
Every other symbol has a chain of owners that ends in
scala.reflect.api.mirror.RootClass.
The position of this symbol
Set when symbol has a modifier of the form private[X], NoSymbol otherwise.
Set when symbol has a modifier of the form private[X], NoSymbol otherwise.
Access level encoding: there are three scala flags (PRIVATE, PROTECTED, and LOCAL) which combine with value privateWithin (the "foo" in private[foo]) to define from where an entity can be accessed. The meanings are as follows:
PRIVATE access restricted to class only. PROTECTED access restricted to class and subclasses only. LOCAL can only be set in conjunction with PRIVATE or PROTECTED. Further restricts access to the same object instance.
In addition, privateWithin can be used to set a visibility barrier. When set, everything contained in the named enclosing package or class has access. It is incompatible with PRIVATE or LOCAL, but is additive with PROTECTED (i.e. if either the flags or privateWithin allow access, then it is allowed.)
The java access levels translate as follows:
java private: hasFlag(PRIVATE) && (privateWithin == NoSymbol) java package: !hasFlag(PRIVATE | PROTECTED) && (privateWithin == enclosingPackage) java protected: hasFlag(PROTECTED) && (privateWithin == enclosingPackage) java public: !hasFlag(PRIVATE | PROTECTED) && (privateWithin == NoSymbol)
If this symbol is a class or trait, its self type, otherwise the type of the symbol itself.

Test two objects for inequality.

true if !(this == that), false otherwise.
Equivalent to x.hashCode except for boxed numeric types and null.
Equivalent to x.hashCode except for boxed numeric types and null.
For numerics, it returns a hash value which is consistent
with value equality: if two value type instances compare
as true, then ## will produce the same hash value for each
of them.
For null returns a hashcode where null.hashCode throws a
NullPointerException.

Test two objects for equality.
Test two objects for equality.
The expression x == that is equivalent to if (x eq null) that eq null else x.equals(that).
true if the receiver object is equivalent to the argument; false otherwise.
Cast the receiver object to be of type T0.
Cast the receiver object to be of type T0.
Note that the success of a cast at runtime is modulo Scala's erasure semantics.
Therefore the expression 1.asInstanceOf[String] will throw a ClassCastException at
runtime, while the expression List(1).asInstanceOf[List[String]] will not.
In the latter example, because the type argument is erased as part of compilation it is
not possible to check whether the contents of the list are of the requested type.

Create a copy of the receiver object.
Tests whether the argument (arg0) is a reference to the receiver object (this).
Tests whether the argument (arg0) is a reference to the receiver object (this).
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 if the argument is a reference to the receiver object; false otherwise.

Called by the garbage collector on the receiver object when there are no more references to the object.

The details of when and if the finalize method is invoked, as
well as the interaction between finalize and non-local returns
and exceptions, are all platform dependent.
Returns string formatted according to given format string.
Returns string formatted according to given format string.
Format strings are as for String.format

The hashCode method for reference types.
Test whether the dynamic type of the receiver object is T0.
Test whether the dynamic type of the receiver object is T0.
Note that the result of the test is modulo Scala's erasure semantics.
Therefore the expression 1.isInstanceOf[String] will return false, while the
expression List(1).isInstanceOf[List[String]] will return true.
In the latter example, because the type argument is erased as part of compilation it is
not possible to check whether the contents of the list are of the specified type.
true if the receiver object is an instance of erasure of type T0; false otherwise.
