* Improved outer ref checking in pattern matches:Adriaan Moors2016-03-071-1/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The old algorithm omitted necessary outer ref checks in some places. This new one is more conservative. It only omits outer ref checks when the expected type and the scrutinee type match up, or when the expected type is defined in a static location. For this specific purpose the top level of a method or other code block (which is not a trait or class definition) is also considered static because it does not have a prefix. This change comes with a spec update to clarify the prefix rule for type patterns. The new wording makes it clear that the presence of a prefix is to be interpreted in a *semantic* way, i.e. the existence of a prefix determines the necessity for an outer ref check, no matter if the prefix is actually spelled out *syntactically*. Note that the old outer ref check implementation did not use the alternative interpretation of requiring prefixes to be given syntactically. It never created an outer ref check for a local class `C`, no matter if the pattern was `_: C` or `_: this.C`, thus violating both interpretations of the spec. There is now explicit support for unchecked matches (like `case _: (T @unchecked) =>`) to suppress warnings for unchecked outer refs. `@unchecked` worked before and was used for this purpose in `neg/t7721` but never actually existed as a feature. It was a result of a bug that prevented an outer ref check from being generated in the first place if *any* annotation was used on an expected type in a type pattern. This new version will still generate the outer ref check if an outer ref is available but suppress the warning otherwise. Other annotations on type patterns are ignored. New tests are in `neg/outer-ref-checks`. The expected results of tests `neg/t7171` and `neg/t7171b` have changed because the compiler now tries to generate additional outer ref checks that were not present before (which was a bug).

* SI-7171 Consider prefix when assessing type finality.Jason Zaugg2013-02-221-0/+10
`Type#isFinalType` determines if a type could have a non-bottom subtype. This property is exploited by the pattern matcher to flag impossible patterns. This check was ignoring the type's prefix, and incorrectly deemed that `T#A` in `trait T { final class A }` was a final type. But it could have been subtyped by `U#A` where `U` <:< `T`, or, more simply, by `T.this.A`. Now, type finality requires that the prefix is stable. The existing test cases in neg/patmat-type-check.scala still correctly flag incompatiblities. `isFinalType` is also used by some code that massages pattern matches post specialization. That is actually either broken or obsolete under virtpatmat, I've opened SI-7172 to invesigate that. It is also used by GenICode to determine whether to emit the appropriate equality checks that are correct in the face of boxing. It is possible that this change will force the slow path in some rare cases, but it won't affect correctness.
