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/t6392b.check | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'test/files/run/t6392b.check') diff --git a/test/files/run/t6392b.check b/test/files/run/t6392b.check index 3f191c7960..83d8fe20c1 100644 --- a/test/files/run/t6392b.check +++ b/test/files/run/t6392b.check @@ -1 +1 @@ -ModuleDef(Modifiers(), TermName("C")#MOD, Template(List(Select(Ident(scala#PK), TypeName("AnyRef")#TPE)), noSelfType, List(DefDef(Modifiers(), nme.CONSTRUCTOR#PCTOR, List(), List(List()), TypeTree(), Block(List(Apply(Select(Super(This(TypeName("C")), tpnme.EMPTY), nme.CONSTRUCTOR#CTOR), List())), Literal(Constant(()))))))) +ModuleDef(Modifiers(), TermName("C")#MOD, Template(List(Select(Ident(scala#PK), TypeName("AnyRef")#TPE)), noSelfType, List(DefDef(Modifiers(), termNames.CONSTRUCTOR#PCTOR, List(), List(List()), TypeTree(), Block(List(Apply(Select(Super(This(TypeName("C")), typeNames.EMPTY), termNames.CONSTRUCTOR#CTOR), List())), Literal(Constant(()))))))) -- cgit v1.2.3
