    The type signature of this symbol.

    The type signature of this symbol.

    This method always returns signatures in the most generic way possible, even if the underlying symbol is obtained from an instantiation of a generic type. For example, signature of the method def map[B](f: (A) ⇒ B): List[B], which refers to the type parameter A of the declaring class List[A], will always feature A, regardless of whether map is loaded from the List[_] or from List[Int]. To get a signature with type parameters appropriately instantiated, one should use infoIn.

    Set when symbol has a modifier of the form private[X] or protected[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: isPrivate && (privateWithin == NoSymbol) java package: !isPrivate && !isProtected && (privateWithin == enclosingPackage) java protected: isProtected && (privateWithin == enclosingPackage) java public: !isPrivate && !isProtected && (privateWithin == NoSymbol)

    Tests whether the argument (that) 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:

    • It is consistent: for any non-null instances x and y of type AnyRef, multiple invocations of x.eq(y) consistently returns true or consistently returns false.
    • For any non-null instance 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).

    Does this symbol represent the definition of a class implicitly associated with an object definition (module class in scala compiler parlance).

    Does this symbol represent the definition of a class implicitly associated with an object definition (module class in scala compiler parlance). If yes, isType is also guaranteed to be true.

    Note to compiler developers: During the "mixin" phase, trait implementation class symbols receive the lateMODULE flag, hence isImplClass && isModuleClass becomes true.

    Creates a String representation of this object.

    Creates a String representation of this object. The default representation is platform dependent. On the java platform it is the concatenation of the class name, "@", and the object's hashcode in hexadecimal.

    returns

    a String representation of the object.
