Equivalent to x.hashCode except for boxed numeric types and null.
Equivalent to x.hashCode except for boxed numeric types and null.
For numerics, it returns a hash value which is consistent
with value equality: if two value type instances compare
as true, then ## will produce the same hash value for each
of them.
For null returns a hashcode where null.hashCode throws a
NullPointerException.

Test two objects for equality.
Test two objects for equality.
The expression x == that is equivalent to if (x eq null) that eq null else x.equals(that).
true if the receiver object is equivalent to the argument; false otherwise.
Cast the receiver object to be of type T0.
Cast the receiver object to be of type T0.
Note that the success of a cast at runtime is modulo Scala's erasure semantics.
Therefore the expression 1.asInstanceOf[String] will throw a ClassCastException at
runtime, while the expression List(1).asInstanceOf[List[String]] will not.
In the latter example, because the type argument is erased as part of compilation it is
not possible to check whether the contents of the list are of the requested type.

Tests whether the argument (arg0) is a reference to the receiver object (this).
Tests whether the argument (arg0) is a reference to the receiver object (this).
The eq method implements an equivalence relation on
non-null instances of AnyRef, and has three additional properties:
x and y of type AnyRef, multiple invocations of
x.eq(y) consistently returns true or consistently returns false.x of type AnyRef, x.eq(null) and null.eq(x) returns false.null.eq(null) returns true. When overriding the equals or hashCode methods, it is important to ensure that their behavior is
consistent with reference equality. Therefore, if two objects are references to each other (o1 eq o2), they
should be equal to each other (o1 == o2) and they should hash to the same value (o1.hashCode == o2.hashCode).

The details of when and if the finalize method is invoked, as
well as the interaction between finalize and non-local returns

Test whether the dynamic type of the receiver object is T0.
Note that the result of the test is modulo Scala's erasure semantics.
Therefore the expression 1.isInstanceOf[String] will return false, while the
expression List(1).isInstanceOf[List[String]] will return true.
In the latter example, because the type argument is erased as part of compilation it is
not possible to check whether the contents of the list are of the specified type.

This trait provides support for importers, a facility to migrate reflection artifacts between universes. Note: this trait should typically be used only rarely.
Reflection artifacts, such as Symbols and Types, are contained in Universes. Typically all processing happens within a single
Universe(e.g. a compile-time macroUniverseor a runtime reflectionUniverse), but sometimes there is a need to migrate artifacts from oneUniverseto another. For example, runtime compilation works by importing runtime reflection trees into a runtime compiler universe, compiling the importees and exporting the result back.Reflection artifacts are firmly grounded in their
Universes, which is reflected by the fact that types of artifacts from different universes are not compatible. By usingImporters, however, they be imported from one universe into another. For example, to importfoo.bar.Bazfrom the sourceUniverseto the targetUniverse, an importer will first check whether the entire owner chain exists in the targetUniverse. If it does, then nothing else will be done. Otherwise, the importer will recreate the entire owner chain and will import the corresponding type signatures into the targetUniverse.Since importers match
Symboltables of the source and the targetUniverses using plain string names, it is programmer's responsibility to make sure that imports don't distort semantics, e.g., thatfoo.bar.Bazin the sourceUniversemeans the same thatfoo.bar.Bazdoes in the targetUniverse.Example
Here's how one might implement a macro that performs compile-time evaluation of its argument by using a runtime compiler to compile and evaluate a tree that belongs to a compile-time compiler:
