A class representing the type U to which T would be erased. Note that there is no subtyping relationship between T and U.
Test two objects for inequality.
true if !(this == that), false otherwise.
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 ==
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.
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.
the receiver object.
ClassCastException if the receiver object is not an instance of the erasure of type T0.
A method that should be called from every well-designed equals method that is open to be overridden in a subclass. See Programming in Scala, Chapter 28 for discussion and design.
the value being probed for possible equality
true if this instance can possibly equal that, otherwise false
Create a copy of the receiver object.
The default implementation of the clone method is platform dependent.
a copy of the receiver object.
Tests whether the argument (that) 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.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).
true if the argument is a reference to the receiver object; false otherwise.
Note: testing for erasure here is important, as it is many times faster than <:< and rules out most comparisons.
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.
not specified by SLS as a member of AnyRef
Returns string formatted according to given format string. Format strings are as for String.format (@see java.lang.String.format).
Returns the runtime class representation of the object.
a class object corresponding to the runtime type of the receiver.
The hashCode method for reference types. See hashCode in scala.Any.
the hash code value for this object.
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.
true if the receiver object is an instance of erasure of type T0; false otherwise.
Equivalent to !(this eq that).
true if the argument is not a reference to the receiver object; false otherwise.
Produces a new array with element type T and length len
Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on the receiver object's monitor.
not specified by SLS as a member of AnyRef
Wakes up all threads that are waiting on the receiver object's monitor.
not specified by SLS as a member of AnyRef
Creates a String representation of this object. The default representation is platform dependent. On the java platform it is the concatenation of the class name, "@", and the object's hashcode in hexadecimal.
a String representation of the object.
A ClassTag[T] can serve as an extractor that matches only objects of type T.
The compiler tries to turn unchecked type tests in pattern matches into checked ones by wrapping a (_: T) type pattern as ct(_: T), where ct is the ClassTag[T] instance. Type tests necessary before calling other extractors are treated similarly. SomeExtractor(...) is turned into ct(SomeExtractor(...)) if T in SomeExtractor.unapply(x: T) is uncheckable, but we have an instance of ClassTag[T].
Produces a ClassTag that knows how to instantiate an Array[Array[T]]

Manifest[T]is an opaque descriptor for type T. Its supported use is to give access to the erasure of the type as aClassinstance, as is necessary for the creation of nativeArraysif the class is not known at compile time.The type-relation operators
<:<and=:=should be considered approximations only, as there are numerous aspects of type conformance which are not yet adequately represented in manifests.Example usages:
def arr[T] = new Array[T](0) // does not compile def arr[T](implicit m: Manifest[T]) = new Array[T](0) // compiles def arr[T: Manifest] = new Array[T](0) // shorthand for the preceding // Methods manifest, classManifest, and optManifest are in [[scala.Predef]]. def isApproxSubType[T: Manifest, U: Manifest] = manifest[T] <:< manifest[U] isApproxSubType[List[String], List[AnyRef]] // true isApproxSubType[List[String], List[Int]] // false def methods[T: ClassManifest] = classManifest[T].erasure.getMethods def retType[T: ClassManifest](name: String) = methods[T] find (_.getName == name) map (_.getGenericReturnType) retType[Map[_, _]]("values") // Some(scala.collection.Iterable<B>)
