#### class BTypesFromSymbols[G <: Global] extends BTypes

This class mainly contains the method classBTypeFromSymbol, which extracts the necessary information from a symbol and its type to create the corresponding ClassBType. It requires access to the compiler (global parameter).

The mixin CoreBTypes defines core BTypes that are used in the backend. Building these BTypes uses classBTypeFromSymbol, hence requires access to the compiler (global).

BTypesFromSymbols extends BTypes because the implementation of BTypes requires access to some of the core btypes. They are declared in BTypes as abstract members. Note that BTypes does not have access to the compiler instance.

   interfaces

     All transitively implemented interfaces, except for those inherited through the superclass.

   flags

     The java flags, obtained through `javaFlags`. Used also to derive the flags for InnerClass entries.

   nestedClasses

     Classes nested in this class. Those need to be added to the InnerClass table, see the InnerClass spec summary above.

   nestedInfo

     If this describes a nested class, information for the InnerClass table.

   This class holds the data for an entry in the InnerClass table. See the InnerClass summary above in this file.

   There's some overlap with the class NestedInfo, but it's not exactly the same and cleaner to keep separate.

   name

     The internal name of the class.

   outerName

     The internal name of the outer class, may be null.

     The simple name of the inner class, may be null.

8. #### final case class NestedInfo(enclosingClass: ClassBType, outerName: Option[String], innerName: Option[String], isStaticNestedClass: Boolean) extends Product with Serializable

   Information required to add a class to an InnerClass table.

   Information required to add a class to an InnerClass table. The spec summary above explains what information is required for the InnerClass entry.

   enclosingClass

     The enclosing class, if it is also nested. When adding a class to the InnerClass table, enclosing nested classes are also added.

   outerName

     The outerName field in the InnerClass entry, may be None.

   innerName

     The innerName field, may be None.

   isStaticNestedClass

     True if this is a static nested class (not inner class) (*)

     (*) Note that the STATIC flag in ClassInfo.flags, obtained through javaFlags(classSym), is not correct for the InnerClass entry, see javaFlags. The static flag in the InnerClass describes a source-level property: if the class is in a static context (does not have an outer pointer). This is checked when building the NestedInfo.

2. #### final def ##(): Int

   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`.

     a hash value consistent with ==

16. #### final def asInstanceOf[T0]: T0

    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.

    returns

      the receiver object.

    A map from internal names to ClassBTypes.

    A map from internal names to ClassBTypes. Every ClassBType is added to this map on its construction.

    This map is used when computing stack map frames. The asm.ClassWriter invokes the method `getCommonSuperClass`. In this method we need to obtain the ClassBType for a given internal name. The method assumes that every class type that appears in the bytecode exists in the map.

    Concurrent because stack map frames are computed when in the class writer, which might run on multiple classes concurrently.

30. #### final def eq(arg0: AnyRef): Boolean

    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:

    - It is consistent: for any non-null instances `x` and `y` of type `AnyRef`, multiple invocations of `x.eq(y)` consistently returns `true` or consistently returns `false`.
    - For any non-null instance `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`).

    returns

      `true` if the argument is a reference to the receiver object; `false` otherwise.

31. #### def equals(arg0: Any): Boolean

    Called by the garbage collector on the receiver object when there are no more references to the object.

    The details of when and if the `finalize` method is invoked, as well as the interaction between `finalize` and non-local returns and exceptions, are all platform dependent.

    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.

    For top-level objects without a companion class, the compilere generates a mirror class with static forwarders (Java compat). There's no symbol for the mirror class, but we still need a ClassBType (its info.nestedClasses will hold the InnerClass entries, see comment in BTypes).
