PlainClassBuilder

Generate a method invocation. If specificReceiver != null, it is used as receiver in the invocation instruction, otherwise method.owner. A specific receiver class is needed to prevent an IllegalAccessError, (aladdin bug 455).

The ClassBType for a class symbol. If the class is nested, the ClassBType is added to the innerClassBufferASM.

The class symbol scala.Nothing is mapped to the class scala.runtime.Nothing$. Similarly, scala.Null is mapped to scala.runtime.Null$. This is because there exist no class files for the Nothing / Null. If used for example as a parameter type, we use the runtime classes in the classfile method signature.

Note that the referenced class symbol may be an implementation class. For example when compiling a mixed-in method that forwards to the static method in the implementation class, the class descriptor of the receiver (the implementation class) is obtained by creating the ClassBType.

Generates the generic signature for sym before erasure.

The class internal name for a given class symbol. If the symbol describes a nested class, the ClassBType is added to the innerClassBufferASM.

The jvm descriptor for a symbol. If sym represents a nested class, its ClassBType is added to the innerClassBufferASM.

The jvm descriptor of a type. If t references a nested class, its ClassBType is added to the innerClassBufferASM.
