A type representing the semi-erasure of a derived value class, see SIP-15 where it's called "C$unboxed" for a class C. Derived value classes are erased to this type during Erasure (when semiEraseVCs = true) and subsequently erased to their underlying type during ElimErasedValueType. This type is outside the normal Scala class hierarchy: it is a subtype of no other type and is a supertype only of Nothing. This is because this type is only useful for type adaptation (see [[Erasure.Boxing#adaptToType]]).

The erased least upper bound is computed as follows - if both argument are arrays of objects, an array of the erased lub of the element types - if both arguments are arrays of same primitives, an array of this primitive - if one argument is array of primitives and the other is array of objects, Object - if one argument is an array, Object - otherwise a common superclass or trait S of the argument classes, with the following two properties: S is minimal: no other common superclass or trait derives from S S is last : in the linearization of the first argument type tp1 there are no minimal common superclasses or traits that come after S. (the reason to pick last is that we prefer classes over traits that way).

def erasedRef ( tp: Type ) ( implicit ctx: Context ) : Type

The erasure of a top-level reference. Differs from normal erasure in that TermRefs are kept instead of being widened away.

A predicate that tests whether a type is a legal erased type. Only asInstanceOf and isInstanceOf may have types that do not satisfy the predicate. ErasedValueType is considered an erased type because it is valid after Erasure (it is eliminated by ElimErasedValueType).

Is tp an abstract type or polymorphic type parameter that has Any, AnyVal, or a universal trait as upper bound and that is not Java defined? Arrays of such types are erased to Object instead of Object[].

def sigName ( tp: Type , isJava: Boolean ) ( implicit ctx: Context ) : TypeName
def transformInfo ( sym: Symbol , tp: Type ) ( implicit ctx: Context ) : Type

The symbol's erased info. This is the type's erasure, except for the following symbols:

  • For $asInstanceOf : [T]T
  • For $isInstanceOf : [T]Boolean
  • For all abstract types : = ?
  • For companion methods : the erasure of their type with semiEraseVCs = false. The signature of these methods are used to keep a link between companions and should not be semi-erased.
  • For Java-defined symbols: : the erasure of their type with isJava = true, semiEraseVCs = false. Semi-erasure never happens in Java.
  • For all other symbols : the semi-erasure of their types, with isJava, isConstructor set according to symbol.
