Type Members

type ConcurrentModificationException = java.util.ConcurrentModificationException

This is a type alias for java.util.ConcurrentModificationException, which may be thrown by methods that detect an invalid modification of an object. For example, many common collection types do not allow modifying a collection while it is being iterated over.

type StackOverflowError = java.lang.StackOverflowError

Thrown when a stack overflow occurs because a method or function recurses too deeply.

On the JVM, this is a type alias for java.lang.StackOverflowError, which itself extends java.lang.Error. The same rules apply to catching a java.lang.Error as for Java, that it indicates a serious problem that a reasonable application should not try and catch.

Value Members

final def !=(arg0: Any): Boolean

Test two objects for inequality.

returns

true if !(this == that), false otherwise.

Definition Classes
AnyRef → Any

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.

returns

a hash value consistent with ==

Definition Classes
AnyRef → Any

final def ==(arg0: Any): Boolean

The expression x == that is equivalent to if (x eq null) that eq null else x.equals(that).

returns

true if the receiver object is equivalent to the argument; false otherwise.

Definition Classes
AnyRef → Any

val EOL: String

The default line separator.

On the JVM, this is equivalent to calling the method: java.lang.System.lineSeparator

def arrayclear(arr: Array[Int]): Unit

Assigns the value of 0 to each element in the array.

arr

A non-null Array[Int].

Annotations
@inline()
Exceptions thrown

java.lang.NullPointerException If arr is null.

def arraycopy(src: AnyRef, srcPos: Int, dest: AnyRef, destPos: Int, length: Int): Unit

Copies length elements of array src starting at position srcPos to the array dest starting at position destPos. If src==dest, the copying will behave as if the elements copied from src were first copied to a temporary array before being copied back into the array at the destination positions.

src

A non-null array as source for the copy.

srcPos

The starting index in the source array.

dest

A non-null array as destination for the copy.

destPos

The starting index in the destination array.

length

The number of elements to be copied.

Annotations
@inline()
Exceptions thrown

java.lang.ArrayStoreException If either src or dest are not of type [java.lang.Array]; or if the element type of src is not compatible with that of dest.

java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException If either srcPos or destPos are outside of the bounds of their respective arrays; or if length is negative; or if there are less than length elements available after srcPos or destPos in src and dest respectively.

java.lang.NullPointerException If either src or dest are null.

final def asInstanceOf[T0]: 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.

Definition Classes
Any
Exceptions thrown

ClassCastException if the receiver object is not an instance of the erasure of type T0.

def clone(): AnyRef

Create a copy of the receiver object.

The default implementation of the clone method is platform dependent.

returns

a copy of the receiver object.

def collectGarbage(): Unit

Runs the garbage collector.

This is a request that the underlying JVM runs the garbage collector. The results of this call depends heavily on the JVM used. The underlying JVM is free to ignore this request.

def createArray(elemClass: Class[_], length: Int): AnyRef

Creates a new array of the specified type and given length.

Note that if elemClass is a subclass of scala.AnyVal then the returned value is an Array of the corresponding java primitive type. For example, the following code scala.compat.Platform.createArray(classOf[Int], 4) returns an array of the java primitive type int.

For a scala.AnyVal array, the values of the array are set to 0 for numeric value types (scala.Double, scala.Float, scala.Long, scala.Int, scala.Char, scala.Short, and scala.Byte), and false for scala.Boolean. Creation of an array of type scala.Unit is not possible.

For subclasses of scala.AnyRef, the values of the array are set to null.

The caller must cast the returned value to the correct type.

elemClass

the Class object of the component type of the array

length

the length of the new array.

returns

an array of the given component type as an AnyRef.

Annotations

Example:
    val a = scala.compat.Platform.createArray(classOf[Int], 4).asInstanceOf[Array[Int]] // returns Array[Int](0, 0, 0, 0)
Exceptions thrown

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException if componentType is scala.Unit or java.lang.Void.TYPE

java.lang.NegativeArraySizeException if the specified length is negative

java.lang.NullPointerException If elemClass is null.

def currentTime: Long

The current time in milliseconds. The time is counted since 1 January 1970 UTC.

Note that the operating system timer used to obtain this value may be less precise than a millisecond.

def defaultCharsetName: String

final def eq(arg0: AnyRef): Boolean

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:

    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.

Definition Classes
AnyRef

def equals(arg0: Any): Boolean

The equality method for reference types. Default implementation delegates to eq.

See also equals in scala.Any.

returns

true if the receiver object is equivalent to the argument; false otherwise.

def finalize(): Unit

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.

def getClassForName(name: String): Class[_]

Returns the Class object associated with the class or interface with the given string name using the current ClassLoader. On the JVM, invoking this method is equivalent to: java.lang.Class.forName(name)

name

    val a = scala.compat.Platform.getClassForName("java.lang.Integer")  // returns the Class[_] for java.lang.Integer
Exceptions thrown

java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError if the initialization provoked by this method fails

java.lang.LinkageError if the linkage fails

def hashCode(): Int

returns

the hash code value for this object.

final def isInstanceOf[T0]: Boolean

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.

returns

true if the receiver object is an instance of erasure of type T0; false otherwise.

final def ne(arg0: AnyRef): Boolean
