  // ======= Initialization of runtime reflection =======
  //
  // This doc describes the carefully laid out sequence of actions used to initialize reflective universes.
  //
  // Before reading the text below, read up the section Mirrors in the reflection pre-SIP
  // https://docs.google.com/document/d/1nAwSw4TmMplsIlzh2shYLUJ5mVh3wndDa1Zm1H6an9A/edit.
  // Take an especially good look at Figure 2, because it illustrates fundamental principles underlying runtime reflection:
  //   1) For each universe we have one mirror per classloader
  //   2) Package symbols are per-mirror
  //   3) Other symbols are per-universe, which means that a symbol (e.g. Seq on the picture) might be shared between multiple owners
  //
  // Main challenges that runtime reflection presents wrt initialization are:
  //   1) Extravagant completion scheme that enters package members on-demand rather than a result of scanning a directory with class files.
  //      (That's a direct consequence of the fact that in general case we can't enumerate all classes in a classloader.
  //      As Paul rightfully mentioned, we could special case classloaders that point to filesystems, but that is left for future work).
  //   2) Presence of synthetic symbols that aren't loaded by normal means (from classfiles) but are synthesized on-the-fly,
  //      and the necessity to propagate these synthetic symbols from rootMirror to other mirrors,
  //      complicated by the fact that such symbols depend on normal symbols (e.g. AnyRef depends on Object).
  //   3) Necessity to remain thread-safe, which limits our options related to lazy initialization
  //      (E.g. we cannot use missingHook to enter synthetic symbols, because that's thread-unsafe).
  //
  // Directly addressing the challenge #3, we create all synthetic symbols fully in advance during init().
  // However, it's not that simple as just calling definitions.symbolsNotPresentInBytecode.
  // Before doing that, we need to first initialize ObjectClass, then ScalaPackageClass, and only then deal with synthetics.
  // Below you can find a detailed explanation for that.
  //
  // ### Why ScalaPackageClass? ###
  //
  // Forcing ScalaPackageClass first thing during startup is important, because syntheticCoreClasses such as AnyRefClass
  // need to be entered into ScalaPackageClass, which entails calling ScalaPackageClass.info.decls.enter.
  // If ScalaPackageClass isn't initialized by that moment, the following will happen for runtime reflection:
  //   1) Initialization of ScalaPackageClass will trigger unpickling.
  //   2) Unpickling will need to load some auxiliary types such as, for example, String.
  //   3) To load String, runtime reflection will call mirrorDefining(classOf[String]).
  //   4) This, in turn, will call runtimeMirror(classOf[String].getClassLoader).
  //   5) For some classloader configurations, the resulting mirror will be different from rootMirror.
  //   6) In that case, initialization of the resulting mirror will try to import definitions.syntheticCoreClasses into the mirror.
  //   7) This will force all the lazy vals corresponding to syntheticCoreClasses.
  //   8) By that time, the completer of ScalaPackageClass will have already called setInfo on ScalaPackageClass, so there won't be any stack overflow.
  //
  // So far so good, no crashes, no problems, right? Not quite.
  // If forcing of ScalaPackageClass was called by a syntheticCoreClasses lazy val,
  // then this lazy val will be entered twice: once during step 7 and once when returning from the original call.
  // To avoid this we need to initialize ScalaPackageClass prior to other synthetics.
  //
  // ### Why ObjectClass? ###
  //
  // 1) As explained in JavaMirrors.missingHook, initialization of ScalaPackageClass critically depends on AnyRefClass.
  // 2) AnyRefClass is defined as "lazy val AnyRefClass = newAlias(ScalaPackageClass, tpnme.AnyRef, ObjectTpe)",
  //    which means that initialization of AnyRefClass depends on ObjectClass.
  // 3) ObjectClass is defined as "lazy val ObjectClass = getRequiredClass(sn.Object.toString)",
  //    which means that under some classloader configurations (see JavaMirrors.missingHook for more details)
  //    dereferencing ObjectClass might trigger an avalanche of initializations calling back into AnyRefClass
  //    while another AnyRefClass initializer is still on stack.
  // 4) That will lead to AnyRefClass being entered two times (once when the recursive call returns and once when the original one returns)
  // 5) That will crash PackageScope.enter that helpfully detects double-enters.
  //
  // Therefore, before initializing ScalaPackageClass, we must pre-initialize ObjectClass
  def init() {
    definitions.init()

    // workaround for http://groups.google.com/group/scala-internals/browse_thread/thread/97840ba4fd37b52e
    // constructors are by definition single-threaded, so we initialize all lazy vals (and local object) in advance
    // in order to avoid deadlocks later (e.g. one thread holds a global reflection lock and waits for definitions.Something to initialize,
    // whereas another thread holds a definitions.Something initialization lock and needs a global reflection lock to complete the initialization)

    // TODO Convert this into a macro
    force()
  }
