The symbol corresponding to the globally accessible class with the given fully qualified name fullName
.
If the name points to a type alias, it's recursively dealiased and its target is returned. If you need a symbol that corresponds to the type alias itself, load it directly from the package class:
scala> cm.staticClass("scala.List") res0: scala.reflect.runtime.universe.ClassSymbol = class List
scala> res0.fullName res1: String = scala.collection.immutable.List
scala> cm.staticPackage("scala") res2: scala.reflect.runtime.universe.ModuleSymbol = package scala
scala> res2.moduleClass.info member TypeName("List") res3: scala.reflect.runtime.universe.Symbol = type List
scala> res3.fullName res4: String = scala.List
To be consistent with Scala name resolution rules, in case of ambiguity between a package and an object, the object is never been considered.
For example for the following code:
package foo { class B }
object foo { class A class B }
staticClass("foo.B") will resolve to the symbol corresponding to the class B declared in the package foo, and staticClass("foo.A") will throw a ScalaReflectionException.
In the example above, to load a symbol that corresponds to the class B declared in the object foo, use staticModule("foo") to load the module symbol and then navigate info.members of its moduleClass.
