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/t6411a.scala | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'test/files/run/t6411a.scala') diff --git a/test/files/run/t6411a.scala b/test/files/run/t6411a.scala index 3bfeac2890..46c88d9294 100644 --- a/test/files/run/t6411a.scala +++ b/test/files/run/t6411a.scala @@ -32,7 +32,7 @@ object a { object Test extends App { def test(methName: String, arg: Any) = { val moduleA = cm.reflect(a) - val msym = moduleA.symbol.typeSignature.declaration(TermName(methName)).asMethod + val msym = moduleA.symbol.info.decl(TermName(methName)).asMethod println(s"meth = $msym") val mmirror = moduleA.reflectMethod(msym) val mresult = -- cgit v1.2.3
