Members list

Value members

Concrete methods

Manifest for the abstract type prefix # name. upperBound is not strictly necessary as it could be obtained by reflection. It was added so that erasure can be calculated without reflection.

Type parameters

T: the type represented by this manifest

Value parameters

args: the manifests for the type arguments
name: the name of the abstract type member
prefix: the manifest for the type containing this abstract type member
upperBound: the runtime Class of the upper bound, used to compute erasure without reflection

Attributes

Attributes

Source: Manifest.scala

Manifest for the class type clazz[args], where clazz is a top-level or static class.

Type parameters

T: the type represented by this manifest

Value parameters

clazz: the runtime Class for the type T

Attributes

Note: This no-prefix, no-arguments case is separate because we it's called from ScalaRunTime.boxArray itself. If we pass varargs as arrays into this, we get an infinitely recursive call to boxArray. (Besides, having a separate case is more efficient)
Source: Manifest.scala

Manifest for the class type clazz, where clazz is a top-level or static class and args are its type arguments.

Type parameters

T: the type represented by this manifest

Value parameters

arg1: the manifest for the first type argument (required to ensure at least one type argument)
args: the manifests for the remaining type arguments
clazz: the runtime Class for the type T
