From 33393c759cc6081cffc3089baf806c08d64dbffc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jason Zaugg Date: Thu, 23 Oct 2014 10:41:59 +1000 Subject: SI-8933 Disable static Symbol literal cache in traits In Scala 2.8.2, an optimization was added to create a static cache for Symbol literals (ie, the results of `Symbol.apply("foo"))`. This saves the map lookup on the second pass through code. This actually was broken somewhere during the Scala 2.10 series, after the addition of an overloaded `apply` method to `Symbol`. The cache synthesis code was made aware of the overload and brought back to working condition recently, in #3149. However, this has uncovered a latent bug when the Symbol literals are defined with traits. One of the enclosed tests failed with: jvm > t8933b-run.log java.lang.IllegalAccessError: tried to access field MotherClass.symbol$1 from class MixinWithSymbol$class at MixinWithSymbol$class.symbolFromTrait(A.scala:3) at MotherClass.symbolFromTrait(Test.scala:1) This commit simply disables the optimization if we are in a trait. Alternative fixes might be: a) make the static Symbol cache field public / b) "mixin" the static symbol cache. Neither of these seem worth the effort and risk for an already fairly situational optimization. Here's how the optimization looks in a class: % cat sandbox/test.scala; qscalac sandbox/test.scala && echo ":javap C" | qscala; class C { 'a; 'b } Welcome to Scala version 2.11.5-20141106-145558-aa558dce6d (Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM, Java 1.8.0_20).
