From fa8f4022754356859f3af1c4ffbac02ab3dc3e7c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eugene Burmako Date: Sat, 1 Feb 2014 00:46:07 +0100 Subject: some renamings MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit It’s almost 1am, so I’m only scratching the surface, mechanistically applying the renames that I’ve written down in my notebook: * typeSignature => info * declarations => decls * nme/tpnme => termNames/typeNames * paramss => paramLists * allOverriddenSymbols => overrides Some explanation is in order so that I don’t get crucified :) 1) No information loss happens when abbreviating `typeSignature` and `declarations`. We already have contractions in a number of our public APIs (e.g. `typeParams`), and I think it’s fine to shorten words as long as people can understand the shortened versions without a background in scalac. 2) I agree with Simon that `nme` and `tpnme` are cryptic. I think it would be thoughtful of us to provide newcomers with better names. To offset the increase in mouthfulness, I’ve moved `MethodSymbol.isConstructor` to `Symbol.isConstructor`, which covers the most popular use case for nme’s. 3) I also agree that putting `paramss` is a lot to ask of our users. The double-“s” convention is very neat, but let’s admit that it’s just weird for the newcomers. I think `paramLists` is a good compromise here. 4) `allOverriddenSymbols` is my personal complaint. I think it’s a mouthful and a shorter name would be a much better fit for the public API. --- test/files/run/reflection-magicsymbols-repl.scala | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) (limited to 'test/files/run/reflection-magicsymbols-repl.scala') diff --git a/test/files/run/reflection-magicsymbols-repl.scala b/test/files/run/reflection-magicsymbols-repl.scala index 6a432c2664..c006e85b3a 100644 --- a/test/files/run/reflection-magicsymbols-repl.scala +++ b/test/files/run/reflection-magicsymbols-repl.scala @@ -14,9 +14,9 @@ object Test extends ReplTest { | def foo8(x: Singleton) = ??? |} |def test(n: Int): Unit = { - | val sig = typeOf[A] member TermName("foo" + n) typeSignature + | val sig = typeOf[A] member TermName("foo" + n) info | val x = sig.asInstanceOf[MethodType].params.head - | println(x.typeSignature) + | println(x.info) |} |for (i <- 1 to 8) test(i) |""".stripMargin -- cgit v1.2.3
