#### abstract class Universe extends api.Universe

EXPERIMENTAL

The refinement of scala.reflect.api.Universe for the use by macro writers.

This universe provides mutability for reflection artifacts (e.g. macros can change types of compiler trees, add annotation to symbols representing definitions, etc) and exposes some internal compiler functionality such as `Symbol.deSkolemize` or `Tree.attachments`.

55. #### abstract type Constant >: Null <: Universe.ConstantApi

    This "virtual" case class represents the reflection interface for literal expressions which can not be further broken down or evaluated, such as "true", "0", "classOf[List]".

    This "virtual" case class represents the reflection interface for literal expressions which can not be further broken down or evaluated, such as "true", "0", "classOf[List]". Such values become parts of the Scala abstract syntax tree representing the program. The constants correspond to section 6.24 "Constant Expressions" of the Scala Language Specification.

    Such constants are used to represent literals in abstract syntax trees (the scala.reflect.api.Trees#Literal node) and literal arguments for Java class file annotations (the scala.reflect.api.Annotations#LiteralArgument class).

    Constants can be matched against and can be constructed directly, as if they were case classes:

        assert(Constant(true).value == true)
        Constant(true) match {
          case Constant(s: String) =>  println("A string: " + s)
          case Constant(b: Boolean) => println("A boolean value: " + b)
          case Constant(x) =>          println("Something else: " + x)
        }

    `Constant` instances can wrap certain kinds of these expressions:

    1. Literals of primitive value classes (`Byte`, `Short`, `Int`, `Long`, `Float`, `Double`, `Char`, `Boolean` and `Unit`) - represented directly as the corresponding type
    2. String literals - represented as instances of the `String`.
    3. References to classes, typically constructed with scala.Predef#classOf - represented as types.
    4. References to enumeration values - represented as symbols.

    Class references are represented as instances of scala.reflect.api.Types#Type (because when the Scala compiler processes a class reference, the underlying runtime class might not yet have been compiled). To convert such a reference to a runtime class, one should use the `runtimeClass` method of a mirror such as `RuntimeMirror` (the simplest way to get such a mirror is using `scala.reflect.runtime.currentMirror`).

    Enumeration value references are represented as instances of scala.reflect.api.Symbols#Symbol, which on JVM point to methods that return underlying enum values. To inspect an underlying enumeration or to get runtime value of a reference to an enum, one should use a scala.reflect.api.Mirrors#RuntimeMirror (the simplest way to get such a mirror is again scala.reflect.runtime.package#currentMirror).

    Usage example:

        enum JavaSimpleEnumeration { FOO, BAR }

        import java.lang.annotation.*;
        @Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
        @Target({ElementType.TYPE})
        public @interface JavaSimpleAnnotation {
          Class<?> classRef();
          JavaSimpleEnumeration enumRef();
        }

        @JavaSimpleAnnotation(
          classRef = JavaAnnottee.class,
          enumRef = JavaSimpleEnumeration.BAR
        )
        public class JavaAnnottee {}

        import scala.reflect.runtime.universe._
        import scala.reflect.runtime.{currentMirror => cm}

        object Test extends App {
          val jann = typeOf[JavaAnnottee].typeSymbol.annotations(0).javaArgs
          def jarg(name: String) = jann(TermName(name)) match {
            // Constant is always wrapped into a Literal or LiteralArgument tree node
            case LiteralArgument(ct: Constant) => value
            case _ => sys.error("Not a constant")
          }

          val classRef = jarg("classRef").value.asInstanceOf[Type]
                                                 // ideally one should match instead of casting
          println(showRaw(classRef))             // TypeRef(ThisType(<empty>), JavaAnnottee, List())
          println(cm.runtimeClass(classRef))     // class JavaAnnottee

          val enumRef = jarg("enumRef").value.asInstanceOf[Symbol]
                                                 // ideally one should match instead of casting
          println(enumRef)                       // value BAR

          val siblings = enumRef.owner.info.decls
          val enumValues = siblings.filter(sym => sym.isVal && sym.isPublic)

                                                 // }

          // doesn't work because of https://issues.scala-lang.org/browse/SI-6459

101. #### trait Importer extends AnyRef

     This trait provides support for importers, a facility to migrate reflection artifacts between universes.

     This trait provides support for importers, a facility to migrate reflection artifacts between universes. Note: this trait should typically be used only rarely.

     Reflection artifacts, such as Symbols and Types, are contained in Universes. Typically all processing happens within a single `Universe` (e.g. a compile-time macro `Universe` or a runtime reflection `Universe`), but sometimes there is a need to migrate artifacts from one `Universe` to another. For example, runtime compilation works by importing runtime reflection trees into a runtime compiler universe, compiling the importees and exporting the result back.

     Reflection artifacts are firmly grounded in their `Universe`s, which is reflected by the fact that types of artifacts from different universes are not compatible. By using `Importer`s, however, they be imported from one universe into another. For example, to import `foo.bar.Baz` from the source `Universe` to the target `Universe`, an importer will first check whether the entire owner chain exists in the target `Universe`. If it does, then nothing else will be done. Otherwise, the importer will recreate the entire owner chain and will import the corresponding type signatures into the target `Universe`.

     Since importers match `Symbol` tables of the source and the target `Universe`s using plain string names, it is programmer's responsibility to make sure that imports don't distort semantics, e.g., that `foo.bar.Baz` in the source `Universe` means the same that `foo.bar.Baz` does in the target `Universe`.

     ##### Example

     Here's how one might implement a macro that performs compile-time evaluation of its argument by using a runtime compiler to compile and evaluate a tree that belongs to a compile-time compiler:

         def staticEval[T](x: T) = macro staticEval[T]

         def staticEval[T](c: scala.reflect.macros.blackbox.Context)(x: c.Expr[T]) = {
           // creates a runtime reflection universe to host runtime compilation
           import scala.reflect.runtime.{universe => ru}
           val mirror = ru.runtimeMirror(c.libraryClassLoader)
           import scala.tools.reflect.ToolBox
           val toolBox = mirror.mkToolBox()

           // runtime reflection universe and compile-time macro universe are different
           // therefore an importer is needed to bridge them
           // currently mkImporter requires a cast to correctly assign the path-dependent types
           val importer0 = ru.internal.mkImporter(c.universe)
           val importer = importer0.asInstanceOf[ru.internal.Importer { val from: c.universe.type }]

           // the created importer is used to turn a compiler tree into a runtime compiler tree
           // both compilers use the same classpath, so semantics remains intact
           val imported = importer.importTree(tree)

           // after the tree is imported, it can be evaluated as usual
           val tree = toolBox.untypecheck(imported.duplicate)
           val valueOfX = toolBox.eval(imported).asInstanceOf[T]
           ...

104. #### trait InternalApi extends AnyRef

     Reflection API exhibits a tension inherent to experimental things: on the one hand we want it to grow into a beautiful and robust API, but on the other hand we have to deal with immaturity of underlying mechanisms by providing not very pretty solutions to enable important use cases.

     Reflection API exhibits a tension inherent to experimental things: on the one hand we want it to grow into a beautiful and robust API, but on the other hand we have to deal with immaturity of underlying mechanisms by providing not very pretty solutions to enable important use cases.

     In Scala 2.10, which was our first stab at reflection API, we didn't have a systematic approach to dealing with this tension, sometimes exposing too much of internals (e.g. Symbol.deSkolemize) and sometimes exposing too little (e.g. there's still no facility to change owners, to do typing transformations, etc). This resulted in certain confusion with some internal APIs living among public ones, scaring the newcomers, and some internal APIs only available via casting, which requires intimate knowledge of the compiler and breaks compatibility guarantees.

     This led to creation of the `internal` API module for the reflection API, which provides advanced APIs necessary for macros that push boundaries of the state of the art, clearly demarcating them from the more or less straightforward rest and providing compatibility guarantees on par with the rest of the reflection API (full compatibility within minor releases, best effort towards backward compatibility within major releases, clear replacement path in case of rare incompatible changes in major releases).

     The `internal` module itself (the value that implements InternalApi) isn't defined here, in scala.reflect.api.Universe, but is provided on per-implementation basis. Runtime API endpoint (scala.reflect.runtime.universe) provides `universe.compat: InternalApi`, whereas compile-time API endpoints (instances of scala.reflect.macros.Context) provide `c.compat: ContextInternalApi`, which extends `InternalApi` with additional universe-specific and context-specific functionality.

     If an implicit value of type `WeakTypeTag[T]` is required, the compiler will create one, and the reflective representation of `T` can be accessed via the `tpe` field.

     If an implicit value of type `WeakTypeTag[T]` is required, the compiler will create one, and the reflective representation of `T` can be accessed via the `tpe` field. Components of `T` can be references to type parameters or abstract types. Note that `WeakTypeTag` makes an effort to be as concrete as possible, i.e. if `TypeTag`s are available for the referenced type arguments or abstract types, they are used to embed the concrete types into the WeakTypeTag. Otherwise the WeakTypeTag will contain a reference to an abstract type. This behavior can be useful, when one expects `T` to be perhaps be partially abstract, but requires special care to handle this case. However, if `T` is expected to be fully known, use scala.reflect.api.TypeTags#TypeTag instead, which statically guarantees this property.

15. #### final def asInstanceOf[T0]: T0

    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.

    returns

      the receiver object.

21. #### final def eq(arg0: AnyRef): Boolean

    Tests whether the argument (`that`) is a reference to the receiver object (`this`).

    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`).

    returns

      `true` if the argument is a reference to the receiver object; `false` otherwise.

    A representation that corresponds to the dynamic class of the receiver object.

    A representation that corresponds to the dynamic class of the receiver object.

    The nature of the representation is platform dependent.

    returns

      a representation that corresponds to the dynamic class of the receiver object.

26. #### final def isInstanceOf[T0]: Boolean

    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.

    returns

      `true` if the receiver object is an instance of erasure of type `T0`; `false` otherwise.

32. #### macro def reify[T](expr: T): Expr[T]

    Use `reify` to produce the abstract syntax tree representing a given Scala expression.

    Use `reify` to produce the abstract syntax tree representing a given Scala expression.

    For example:

        val five = reify{ 5 }         // Literal(Constant(5))
        reify{ 5.toString }           // Apply(Select(Literal(Constant(5)), TermName("toString")), List())
        reify{ five.splice.toString } // Apply(Select(five, TermName("toString")), List())

    The produced tree is path dependent on the Universe `reify` was called from.

    Use scala.reflect.api.Exprs#Expr.splice to embed an existing expression into a `reify` call. Use Expr to turn a Tree into an expression that can be spliced.
