Add entries to the LocalVariableTable JVM attribute for all the vars in varsInScope, ending at the current program point.

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.

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.

The jvm descriptor for a symbol.

The jvm descriptor of a type.
