Versioning – Scala 2.10.0
 Major release
 Binary incompatible with previous versions
 Language changes
 Library changes
 New deprecations
 Removal of deprecated features
    Classes
    Methods
    Language syntax
Examples of New Deprecations
 Octal numbers!
  scala> 077
  <console>:1: warning: Treating numbers with a leading zero as octal is
  deprecated.
         077
         ^
  res10: Int = 63
 Double ending in dot
  scala> 1.
  <console>:1: warning: This lexical syntax is deprecated. From scala
  2.11, a dot will
  only be considered part of a number if it is immediately followed by
  a digit.
         1.
         ^
  res11: Double = 1.0
Examples of removal of deprecated
features
 Language syntax
   for ( val i <- 1 to 10) println(i)

 Class
   scala.collection.mutable.CloneableCollection

 Method
   scala.collection.immutable.Queue.+

 Package
   scala.testing.SUnit
Improvements of the release
process
 Process becoming more and more automated
 Package for RPM, APT, Brew, etc
    Automatically generated!
 Milestones used to help integrate libraries and
 frameworks
   M4 June 12
   M5 soon!
 Release Candidates to consolidate and fix bugs
Bug fixes
 Many fixes!
 New pattern matcher!
 Ticket priorization!
 New warnings:
    Detecting bugs in the compiler itself!
 More third party contributions!
    git + pull request == FTW
 ...besides the natural improvements of the codebase.

scala.util.hashing.Hashing
 def hashingOf[T : Hashing](obj: T): Int =
   implicitly[Hashing[T]].hash(obj)

 // A bad hashing function for Seqs
 implicit val seqHashing =
   Hashing fromFunction ((_: Seq[_]).size)
IsTraversableOnce and
IsTraversableLike
 class FilterMapImpl[A, Repr]
       (val r: GenTraversableLike[A, Repr]) {
   final def filterMap[B, That]
             (f: A => Option[B])
             (implicit cbf: CanBuildFrom[Repr, B, That])
             : That =
     r.flatMap(f(_).toSeq)
 }

 // How to write the implicit conversion???
IsTraversableOnce and
IsTraversableLike
 Obstacles to writing the implicit conversion:
    Array and String are not GenTraversable
    String does not have a type parameter (A)
    Nor BitSet and other collections
    Inference over view bounds is difficult
 IsTraversableOnce and IsTraversableLike
 provides a solution
IsTraversableOnce and
IsTraversableLike
 class FilterMapImpl[A, Repr]
       (val r: GenTraversableLike[A, Repr]) {
   final def filterMap[B, That]
             (f: A => Option[B])
             (implicit cbf: CanBuildFrom[Repr, B, That])
             : That =
     r.flatMap(f(_).toSeq)
 }

 implicit def filterMap[Repr, A](r: Repr)
              (implicit fr: IsTraversableOnce[Repr])
              : FilterMapImpl[fr.A,Repr] =
   new FilterMapImpl(fr.conversion(r))
scala.util.Try
 def percentCompleted(total: Int,
                      done: Int): Int =
   Try ( done * 100 / total ) getOrElse 100
scala.util.Try
 Try {
   new FileInputStream(a)
 } recoverWith {
   case _: FileNotFoundException =>
     Try(new FileInputStream(b))
 } recover {
   case _: FileNotFoundException =>
     defaultInputStream
 } andThen {
   stream =>
     in = stream.read(); stream.close(); in
 }
@static
 Turn object fields into static fields of the object’s
  companion class
 Fields are initialized through the static initializer of
  the class
 Access to these fields are turned into direct static field
  access

Scaladoc – Link to anything!
 [[x.y.Z.m]] links to m on Z, defaulting to the type Z
    if m is present on both type and object
   Z! forces type and Z$ forces object, to disambiguate
   m can be written with type signature, to disambiguate
   [[m]] refers to m on the current scope
   If dots or hashes are required in the type signature,
    escape them with
Scaladoc – Group things!
 Scaladoc now has attributes that allow members to be
  grouped, and the groups described and prioritized
 Members of the same group are displayed together
 Groups of lower priority are seen before groups of
  higher priorities

SIP-11: String Interpolation
 Lack of string interpolation were a source of constant
  complains
    Even though very few languages support them!
 Odersky says the difference between ${x} and "+x+" is a
  single character
    If you ignore the shift-typing...
    Someone says " and + can be typed without shift on a swiss
     keyboard
        True!
 About-face:
    What if string interpolation was more than string
     interpolation?
SIP-11: String Interpolation
def hello(name: String = "world"): String =
  "Hello, " + name + "! "

// Interpolation!
def hello(name: String = "world"): String =
  s"Hello, $name! "
SIP-11: String Interpolation
def percentCompleted(total: Int, done: Int): String =
  Try ( done * 100 / total ) map {
    percent => f"$percent%2d% completed"
  } getOrElse "100% completed"

def percentCompleted(total: Int, done: Int): String =
  Try (
    f"${ done * 100 / total }%2d% completed"
  ) getOrElse "100% completed"
SIP-11: String Interpolation:
How does it work?
s"Hello, $name!" // becomes
StringContext("Hello, ", "!").s(name)


f"${ done * 100 / total }%2d% completed" // becomes
StringContext("", "%2d% completed").f(done * 100 / total)

raw"String with n in it"
SIP-11: String Interpolation
 Multiline literals work too
    s"""Ok!"""
 Interpolation may be nested
    s"${ s"$x" }"
 Backslash is not used as escape character
    r"d+/$month" // not an actual interpolator!
    StringContext("""d+/""").r(month)
 But both s and f interpolators add the escaping themselves!
    s"Hello, $name!n" // newline normal
 But the raw interpolator does not!
 How to add/modify behavior:
    Enrich My Library on StringContext
    Shadowing of object StringContext
    Added interpolators don’t actually need to be methods!
SIP-11: String Interpolation
// Enrich My Library
class RegexContext(sc: StringContext) {
  def r(args: Any*) = {
    sc.checkLengths(args: _*)
    val res = (args, sc.parts.tail).zipped map {
      (arg, part) => s"Q$argE$part"
    } mkString ""
    (sc.parts.head + res).r
  }
}

implicit def toRC(sc: StringContext) = new RegexContext(sc)
SIP-11: String Interpolation
// Interpolation nesting
class RegexContext(sc: StringContext) {
  def r(args: Any*) = {
    sc.checkLengths(args: _*)
    s"${sc.parts.head}${
      (args, sc.parts.tail).zipped map {
         (arg, part) => s"Q$argE$part"
      } mkString ""
    }".r
  }
}

implicit def toRC(sc: StringContext) = new RegexContext(sc)
SIP-11: String Interpolation
// Shadowing of StringContext object
object StringContext(parts: String*) {
  def r(args: Any*) = {
    require(parts.length == args.length + 1)
    val res = (args, parts.tail).zipped map {
      "Q" + _ + "E" + _
    } mkString ""
    (parts.head + res).r }
}

// One can change s and f interpolators!
SIP-11: String Interpolation
// apply and unapplySeq

def hello(name: String = "world"): String = i"Hello, $name!"

def who(message: String): String = message match {
  case i"Hello, $name!" => name
  case _                => “no clue"
}

who(hello("Daniel")) == "Daniel"
SIP-11: String Interpolation
// apply and unapplySeq
implicit class SI(sc: StringContext) {
  object i {
    def apply(args: Any*): String =
      sc.parts.head +
      (args,sc.parts.tail).zipped.map(_+_).mkString
    def unapplySeq(s: String): Option[Seq[String]] = {
      val partsr = sc.parts map (p => s"Q$pE")
      val r = (partsr mkString "(.*)").r
      s match { case r(xs @ _*) => Some(xs) case _ => None }
    }
  }
}
SIP-13: Implicit Classes
 “Enrich My Library” (formely “Pimp My Library”) very
  popular
 But with lots of cerimony...
 “Extension methods” becoming common in other
  languages (even Java!)
 And with less cerimony at that!


 Solution: implicit class
SIP-13: Implicit Classes
// String interpolation with Implicit Classes
implicit class RegexContext(sc: StringContext) {
  def r(args: Any*) = {
    sc.checkLengths(args: _*)
    val res = (args, sc.parts.tail).zipped map {
      "Q" + _ + "E" + _
    } mkString ""
    (sc.parts.head + res).r
  }
}
SIP-14: Futures and Promises
 Non-blocking asynchronous of operations is a common
  task
 Evidence: many libraries have a Future implementation
    Including Scala Actors library!
 Problem:
    Non-standard interface
    Interface tied to implementation
 Solution:
    Powerful and flexible API implementing the concepts of
     Future and Promise
SIP-14: Futures and Promises
// TODO – Sorry! Examples from SIP:

import scala.concurrent._
val f: Future[List[String]] = future {
  session.getRecentPosts
}
f onComplete {
  case Right(posts) => for (post <- posts) render(post)
  case Left(t) => render("An error has occured: " +
t.getMessage)
}
SIP-14: Futures and Promises
// TODO – Sorry! Examples from SIP:

import scala.concurrent._
val f: Future[List[String]] = future {
  session.getRecentPosts
}
f onFailure {
  case t => render("An error has occured: " + t.getMessage)
} onSuccess {
  case posts => for (post <- posts) render(post)
}
SIP-14: Futures and Promises
// TODO – Sorry! Examples from SIP:

import scala.concurrent._
def main(args: Array[String]) {
  val rateQuote = future {
    connection.getCurrentValue(USD)
  }

  val purchase = rateQuote map {
    quote => if (isProfitable(quote)) connection.buy(amount,
quote)
             else throw new Exception("not profitable")
  }

    blocking(purchase, 0 ns)
}
SIP-14: Futures and Promises
// TODO – Sorry! Examples from SIP:

import scala.concurrent.{ future, promise }
val p = promise[T]
val f = p.future
val producer = future {
  val r = produceSomething()
  p success r
  continueDoingSomethingUnrelated()
}
val consumer = future {
  startDoingSomething()
  f onSuccess {
    case r => doSomethingWithResult()
  }
}
SIP-15: Value Classes
 Curse of references
 Curse of boxing:
    case class Meter(n: Int) much more “expensive”
     than int
 Curse of implicit classes:
    "abc“.r creates an unnecessary object just to call new
     Regex("abc")
 We want a class that is not a reference!
 Solution: value classes.
SIP-15: Value Classes
// String interpolation with implicit value class!
implicit class RegexContext(sc: StringContext) extends AnyVal {
  def r(args: Any*) = {
    sc.checkLengths(args: _*)
    val res = (args, sc.parts.tail).zipped map {
      "Q" + _ + "E" + _
    } mkString ""
    (sc.parts.head + res).r
  }
}
SIP-15: Value Classes
 Can have only one parameter
    Which must be a public val
 For instance, [T: Ordering](v: T) is not acceptable
 Can be extended by traits
    If they are either Any or AnyVal
 Cannot define equality or hash code
    But may be case classes!
 Equality and hash code are applied over the parameter
 They are effectively “final”
 On a local scope, the class is optimized away!
 If they escape scope, they are boxed
SIP-16: Macros
 Acceptance postponed, but available experimentally on
  Scala 2.10.0
 Large compilers are hard to maintain
    Pressure against new features on the compiler
 Compiler Plugins can be used to extend Scala...
    ...but they are difficult to keep in sync with scalac
 Possible solution: Macros
    “Macros? Ugh!” –C/C++ trauma!
 Something new: scala.reflection
    Macros become almost free!
SIP-16: Macros
 Scala CATs!
    Compile-time AST Transformations
        Abstract Syntax Tree
 Inspired by Nemerle macros
 Four kind looked into:
    Typed def macros – This is the only made available!
    Untyped def macros
    Type (class/trait) macros
    Annotation macros
 Official Overview:
    http://docs.scala-lang.org/overviews/macros/typemacros.html
SIP-16: Macros
// Typed def macros

(1 to 5).foreach(println)
         ^       ^
         |       + Type check
         + Macro execution
         + New type check
SIP-16: Macros
// Untyped def macros

for {val i = 0; i < 10; i += 1} println(i)
^   ^
|   |
|   + Arguments not type checked!
+ Macro execution
+ Type check
SIP-16: Macros
// Untyped def macros – why?

for {val i = 0; i < 10; i += 1} println(i)
    ^                                   ^
    |    “i” not visible in this scope! +
    + “i” only visible in this scope.
SIP-16: Macros
// Type (class/trait) macros

class User extends DbTable(jdbcUrl, “t_user”)
                   ^
                   + Macro

// Connects to database at compile time
// and gets table description to create
// class “User”
SIP-16: Macros
 Type macros are similar to F#’s type providers



 Next in line of development
 First user likely to be Typesafe’s Slick (formely
  ScalaQuery)
   http://slick.typesafe.com/
SIP-16: Macros
// Macro annotations

@memoize
def fat(n: Int) =
  if (n > 0) n * fat(n – 1)
  else 1

// Macro applied over the annotated definition,
// be it class, method, parameter, etc
SIP-16: Macros
 Only typed macros made available...
 And with experimental status, at that...
 Behind flag –language:experimental.macros...
 But already used in some places on the library!
 C/C++ macros trauma very widespread...
 ...but the true C++ macros are templates! (imho)
 Macro Paradise used to experiment with other types of
 macros:
   http://docs.scala-lang.org/overviews/macros/paradise.html
SIP-16: Macros
 Typed Macros Advantages:
    Relatively simple to implement
    There’s no difference in the type signature of a method
     implemented with a macro!
        Easy to test
    Hygienic macros provided through a macro!
        Therefore, self-cleaning
    Non-hygienic Macros are also easy to create
SIP-16: Macros
 Disadvantages:
   Somewhat limited
   Two-stages compilation
       It’s not possible to define and use a macro on the same
        compilation
   Non-hygienic by default
   Nay-sayers will go on nay-saying.
SIP-16: Macros
object Trimmer {
  def trim(s: String): String = macro trimImpl

    import scala.reflect.macros.Context
    def trimImpl(c: Context)(s: c.Expr[String]): c.Expr[String] = {
      import c.universe._ // see reflection

        val Literal(Constant(untrimmed: String)) = s.tree
        val trimmed = untrimmed.lines.map(_.trim).mkString("n")

        c.Expr(Literal(Constant(trimmed)))
    }
}
SIP-16: Macros
 Path dependent method types:
    def m(c: Context)(param: c.Expr[Any]):
     c.Expr[Any]
 Through –Ydependent-method-types parameter on
  previous versions
 Reflection, reflection and reflection! 
 “Once we do reflection right, we get macros for free!” –
  paraphrasing Martin Odersky
SIP-17: Type Dynamic
 Problems:
    Scala’s integration to other JVM languages assumes
     static typing
         Lots of dynamically typed languages on the JVM!
     Static typing also hinders some flexible DSLs
   Solution: trait Dynamic
   Similar to “missing method”
   Makes it easy to integrate with other JVM languages
   Has great DSL potential
   And other uses as well...
SIP-17: Type Dynamic
scala> class xmlPath(xml: scala.xml.Node) extends Dynamic {
     |   def selectDynamic(path: String) = xml  path
     | }
defined class xmlPath

scala> new xmlPath(<root><a><b><c/></b></a></root>).b
res9: scala.xml.NodeSeq = NodeSeq(<b><c/></b>)
SIP-17: Type Dynamic
 Method call conversions:

 Standard methods:
    applyDynamic
 Methods with named parameters:
    applyDynamicNamed
 Setters:
    updateDynamic
 Getters (nullary methods):
    selectDynamic
SIP-17: Type Dynamic
 Also in the works is DynamicProxy
    Add/Change methods, have everything else be
     automatically redirected
    Might (maybe) even do so with static typing, through
     macros!
 However, not yet in the library
    Might make 2.10.0 or not – time will tell
SIP-18: Modularizing Language
Features
 Problems:
    Some Scala features are hard to understand
    Others induce errors
    And some are experimental
 But they are all necessary, for one reason or another!
 Solution: SIP-18
SIP-18: Modularizing Language
Features
 Controls access to some language features
 Using these features cause compilation warnings
    Which might become compilation errors in the future

scala.reflect
 Allows us to explore the structure of a program,
 and interact with that structure
    Wikipedia: reflection happens at compile time
    Scala: you use the same API at compile time as well, with
     macros
 Main Concepts:
    Reflection Libraries and Universes
    Names, symbols, types and trees
    Mirrors
 Overview will be provided at:
    http://docs.scala-lang.org/overviews/reflection/overview.html
scala.reflect – Universes




                                      Source: Scala Reflection Pre-SIP
Notice: all of the classes on scala-library.jar depicted above were removed.
scala.reflect – Universes
 Contains a number of interrelated elements which,
 together, make up the main components of reflection
   Symbol
   Tree
   Name
   etc...
 Use of path dependent types to relate types with the
 universes they came from
scala.reflect – Universes
 Built in layers with different degrees of detail using the
  “cake pattern” :
    Base:
      Fundamental concepts
      Identity, e and little else

    JavaUniverse
      Manipulation through JVM-provided reflection, enhanced with
       information provided by Scala
    Macros
      Manipulation at compile time
      Compiler’s universe, but presented with a more restricted API

    Others: compiler

           Name

 TermName        TypeName
scala.reflect – Name
 Scala has two namespaces:
    Types
    Values (Term)
 Name ties a string to one of those namespaces
 Name also enables convertion of names from language-
 representation to class-file representation

scala.reflect – Symbol
 All definitions are tied to symbols
    Classes
    Methods
    Parameters
    Variables
    If you named it, it has a symbol
    If you did not name it, but refer to it as being
     “anonymous”, it also has a symbol
 Immutable at run time
    At macro time, one can change its flags
scala.reflect – Type
 Structure associated with a symbol:
    Class members
    Parameters and return types of a method
    etc
 Made up of case classes
 Handled through pattern matching

scala.reflect – Tree
 Compiler’s internal representation of source code
 Immutable at runtime, made up of case classes
    However, at macro time one can change its symbol, type
     and position
 Essential when writing macros
 Also used for annotated typed

scala> val tb = m.mkToolBox()
tb: scala.tools.reflect.ToolBox[reflect.runtime.universe.type] =

scala> val tree = tb.parseExpr("1 to 3 map (_+1)")
tree: tb.u.Tree = 1.to(3).map(((x$1) => x$1.$plus(1)))

scala> val eval = tb.runExpr(tree)
eval: Any = Vector(2, 3, 4)

scala.reflect – Mirror

                    InstanceMirror                         ClassMirror




                                                           MethodMirror
 ClassMirror   FieldMirror   MethodMirror   ModuleMirror
                                                           (constructors)
scala.reflect – Mirror
 Mirrors allow one to manipulate classes and instances
    at run time
   Each Universe may have one or mirrors
   Each mirror is tied to a class loader
   Classes with the same name may be loaded by distinct
    class loaders
   Mirrors allows reflection over the Scala language,
    instead of its JVM implementation
scala.reflect – Mirror
val obj = "String"
val objClass = obj.getClass
val classClassLoader = objClass.getClassLoader
val classLoaderMirror = runtimeMirror(classClassLoader)
val classSymbol = classLoaderMirror.classSymbol(objClass)
val classType = classSymbol.typeSignature
val methodName = newTermName("length")
val methodSymbol = classType.member(methodName).asMethodSymbol
val instanceMirror = classLoaderMirror.reflect(obj)
val methodMirror = instanceMirror.reflectMethod(methodSymbol)
methodMirror.apply() // == (obj.length: Any)
Actors and Akka
 The standard actors library will be removed
    Replaced by Akka’s
 Akka will be part of 2.10’s distribution
    Only binaries – source code will remain apart
    The old library will also be available, on a separate jar
 There is a migration guide:
    http://docs.scala-lang.org/overviews/core/actors-migration-guide.html

 The standard actors has a migration kit
    This provides a layer over standard and Akka actors to
     make them source code compatible with each other
Scala 2.10.0 (english version)
Wild Speculations
 untyped macros
    for { val x = 0; x < 10; x += 1 } println(x)
 macro types
    class X extends MacroClassY(parm)
 macro annotations
    @memoize def fat(n: Int) = if (n > 0) n *
     fat(n -1) else 1
 effect system
 abstract types/type parameters unification
 pre-processor (DOA!)
Other presentations
 Alex Boisvert’s Scala Roadmap:
    https://speakerdeck.com/u/boia01/p/scala-roadmap-as-
     of-april-2012
    Goes into much more depth about “distant future”
 Simon Ochsenreither’s What’s New in 2.10
    http://ochsenreither.posterous.com/whats-new-in-210
    No explanations, but more comprehensive, and links to
     commits

  • 45. SIP-11: String Interpolation  Lack of string interpolation were a source of constant complains  Even though very few languages support them!  Odersky says the difference between ${x} and "+x+" is a single character  If you ignore the shift-typing...  Someone says " and + can be typed without shift on a swiss keyboard  True!  About-face:  What if string interpolation was more than string interpolation?

  • 49. SIP-11: String Interpolation  Multiline literals work too  s"""Ok!"""  Interpolation may be nested  s"${ s"$x" }"  Backslash is not used as escape character  r"d+/$month" // not an actual interpolator!  StringContext("""d+/""").r(month)  But both s and f interpolators add the escaping themselves!  s"Hello, $name!n" // newline normal  But the raw interpolator does not!  How to add/modify behavior:  Enrich My Library on StringContext  Shadowing of object StringContext  Added interpolators don’t actually need to be methods!

  • 55. SIP-13: Implicit Classes  “Enrich My Library” (formely “Pimp My Library”) very popular  But with lots of cerimony...  “Extension methods” becoming common in other languages (even Java!)  And with less cerimony at that!  Solution: implicit class

  • 57. SIP-14: Futures and Promises  Non-blocking asynchronous of operations is a common task  Evidence: many libraries have a Future implementation  Including Scala Actors library!  Problem:  Non-standard interface  Interface tied to implementation  Solution:  Powerful and flexible API implementing the concepts of Future and Promise

  • 62. SIP-15: Value Classes  Curse of references  Curse of boxing:  case class Meter(n: Int) much more “expensive” than int  Curse of implicit classes:  "abc“.r creates an unnecessary object just to call new Regex("abc")  We want a class that is not a reference!  Solution: value classes.
  • 63. SIP-15: Value Classes // String interpolation with implicit value class! implicit class RegexContext(sc: StringContext) extends AnyVal { def r(args: Any*) = { sc.checkLengths(args: _*) val res = (args, sc.parts.tail).zipped map { "Q" + _ + "E" + _ } mkString "" (sc.parts.head + res).r } }
  • 64. SIP-15: Value Classes  Can have only one parameter  Which must be a public val  For instance, [T: Ordering](v: T) is not acceptable  Can be extended by traits  If they are either Any or AnyVal  Cannot define equality or hash code  But may be case classes!  Equality and hash code are applied over the parameter  They are effectively “final”  On a local scope, the class is optimized away!  If they escape scope, they are boxed
  • 65. SIP-16: Macros  Acceptance postponed, but available experimentally on Scala 2.10.0  Large compilers are hard to maintain  Pressure against new features on the compiler  Compiler Plugins can be used to extend Scala...  ...but they are difficult to keep in sync with scalac  Possible solution: Macros  “Macros?

(imho)  Macro Paradise used to experiment with other types of macros:  http://docs.scala-lang.org/overviews/macros/paradise.html
  • 74. SIP-16: Macros  Typed Macros Advantages:  Relatively simple to implement  There’s no difference in the type signature of a method implemented with a macro!  Easy to test  Hygienic macros provided through a macro!  Therefore, self-cleaning  Non-hygienic Macros are also easy to create
  • 75. SIP-16: Macros  Disadvantages:  Somewhat limited  Two-stages compilation  It’s not possible to define and use a macro on the same compilation  Non-hygienic by default  Nay-sayers will go on nay-saying.

  • 77. SIP-16: Macros  Path dependent method types:  def m(c: Context)(param: c.Expr[Any]): c.Expr[Any]  Through –Ydependent-method-types parameter on previous versions  Reflection, reflection and reflection!   “Once we do reflection right, we get macros for free!” – paraphrasing Martin Odersky
  • 78. SIP-17: Type Dynamic  Problems:  Scala’s integration to other JVM languages assumes static typing  Lots of dynamically typed languages on the JVM!  Static typing also hinders some flexible DSLs  Solution: trait Dynamic  Similar to “missing method”  Makes it easy to integrate with other JVM languages  Has great DSL potential  And other uses as well...

  • 82. SIP-18: Modularizing Language Features  Problems:  Some Scala features are hard to understand  Others induce errors  And some are experimental  But they are all necessary, for one reason or another!  Solution: SIP-18
  • 83. SIP-18: Modularizing Language Features  Controls access to some language features  Using these features cause compilation warnings  Which might become compilation errors in the future  Access to features allowed through:  compile flags  implicit in scope  Access can be allowed through inherited  ScalaDoc explains why control and why make available

  • 94. scala.reflect  Allows us to explore the structure of a program,  and interact with that structure  Wikipedia: reflection happens at compile time  Scala: you use the same API at compile time as well, with macros  Main Concepts:  Reflection Libraries and Universes  Names, symbols, types and trees  Mirrors  Overview will be provided at:  http://docs.scala-lang.org/overviews/reflection/overview.html
  • 95. scala.reflect – Universes Source: Scala Reflection Pre-SIP Notice: all of the classes on scala-library.jar depicted above were removed.
  • 96. scala.reflect – Universes  Contains a number of interrelated elements which, together, make up the main components of reflection  Symbol  Tree  Name  etc...  Use of path dependent types to relate types with the universes they came from
  • 97. scala.reflect – Universes  Built in layers with different degrees of detail using the “cake pattern” :  Base:  Fundamental concepts  Identity, e and little else  JavaUniverse  Manipulation through JVM-provided reflection, enhanced with information provided by Scala  Macros  Manipulation at compile time  Compiler’s universe, but presented with a more restricted API  Others: compiler
  • 98. scala.reflect – Main Types Name FlagSet Symbol Universe AnnotationInfo Type Position Tree
  • 99. scala.reflect – Name Name TermName TypeName
  • 100. scala.reflect – Name  Scala has two namespaces:  Types  Values (Term)  Name ties a string to one of those namespaces  Name also enables convertion of names from language- representation to class-file representation
  • 101. scala.reflect – Symbol Symbol Type owner Name Symbol Type ... Symbol TermName TypeName
  • 102. scala.reflect – Symbol  All definitions are tied to symbols  Classes  Methods  Parameters  Variables  If you named it, it has a symbol  If you did not name it, but refer to it as being “anonymous”, it also has a symbol  Immutable at run time  At macro time, one can change its flags
  • 103. scala.reflect – Type  Structure associated with a symbol:  Class members  Parameters and return types of a method  etc  Made up of case classes  Handled through pattern matching

  • 109. scala.reflect – Tree  Compiler’s internal representation of source code  Immutable at runtime, made up of case classes  However, at macro time one can change its symbol, type and position  Essential when writing macros  Also used for annotated typed

  • 112. scala.reflect – Mirror InstanceMirror ClassMirror MethodMirror ClassMirror FieldMirror MethodMirror ModuleMirror (constructors)
  • 113. scala.reflect – Mirror  Mirrors allow one to manipulate classes and instances at run time  Each Universe may have one or mirrors  Each mirror is tied to a class loader  Classes with the same name may be loaded by distinct class loaders  Mirrors allows reflection over the Scala language, instead of its JVM implementation
