### Type Members

1. #### class ImplicitInfo extends AnyRef

   A class that records an available implicit

2. #### class ImplicitSearch extends Analyzer.Typer with Analyzer.ImplicitsContextErrors

   A class that sets up an implicit search.

   A class that sets up an implicit search. For more info, see comments for `inferImplicit`.

3. #### case class OpenImplicit(info: Analyzer.ImplicitInfo, pt: Global.Type, tree: Global.Tree) extends Product with Serializable

   A class which is used to track pending implicits to prevent infinite implicit searches.

4. #### class SearchResult extends AnyRef

   The result of an implicit search

### Value Members

1. #### final def !=(arg0: Any): Boolean

   Test two objects for inequality.

   Test two objects for inequality.

   returns

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

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

   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`.

   returns

     a hash value consistent with ==

5. #### final def ==(arg0: Any): Boolean

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

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

   arg0

     the object to compare against this object for equality.

   returns

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

6. #### lazy val AmbiguousSearchFailure: Analyzer.SearchResult

7. #### lazy val DivergentSearchFailure: Analyzer.SearchResult

8. #### object Function1

   An extractor for unary function types arg => res

9. #### object HasMember

   An extractor for types of the form ? { name: ? }

10. #### object HasMethodMatching

    An extractor for types of the form ? { name: (? >: argtpe <: Any*)restp }

11. #### object ImplicitNotFoundMsg

12. #### val NoImplicitInfo: Analyzer.ImplicitInfo

    A sentinel indicating no implicit was found

13. #### lazy val SearchFailure: Analyzer.SearchResult

14. #### def allViewsFrom(tp: Global.Type, context: Analyzer.Context, tpars: List[Global.Symbol]): List[(Analyzer.SearchResult, List[Global.TypeConstraint])]

    Find all views from type `tp` (in which `tpars` are free)

    Find all views from type `tp` (in which `tpars` are free)

    Note that the trees in the search results in the returned list share the same type variables. Ignore their constr field! The list of type constraints returned along with each tree specifies the constraints that must be met by the corresponding type parameter in `tpars` (for the returned implicit view to be valid).

15. #### 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.

    Definition Classes
      Any
    Exceptions thrown

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

16. #### def clone(): AnyRef

    Create a copy of the receiver object.

    Create a copy of the receiver object.

    The default implementation of the `clone` method is platform dependent.

    returns

21. #### 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.

    Definition Classes
      AnyRef

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

    The equality method for reference types.

    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.

23. #### def finalize(): Unit

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

    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.

27. #### def inferImplicit(tree: Global.Tree, pt: Global.Type, isView: Boolean, context: Analyzer.Context, silent: Boolean, withMacrosDisabled: Boolean, pos: Global.Position, onError: (Global.Position, String) ⇒ Unit): Global.Tree

    A friendly wrapper over inferImplicit to be used in macro contexts and toolboxes.

28. #### def inferImplicit(tree: Global.Tree, pt: Global.Type, reportAmbiguous: Boolean, isView: Boolean, context: Analyzer.Context, saveAmbiguousDivergent: Boolean, pos: Global.Position): Analyzer.SearchResult

    Search for an implicit value.

    Search for an implicit value. See the comment on `result` at the end of class `ImplicitSearch` for more info how the search is conducted.

    tree

      The tree for which the implicit needs to be inserted. (the inference might instantiate some of the undetermined type parameters of that tree.

    pt

      The expected type of the implicit.

    reportAmbiguous

      Should ambiguous implicit errors be reported? False iff we search for a view to find out whether one type is coercible to another.

    isView

      We are looking for a view

    context

      The current context

    saveAmbiguousDivergent

      False if any divergent/ambiguous errors should be ignored after implicits search, true if they should be reported (used in further typechecking).

    pos

      Position that is should be used for tracing and error reporting (useful when we infer synthetic stuff and pass EmptyTree in the `tree` argument) If it's set NoPosition, then position-based services will use `tree.pos`

    returns

      A search result

31. #### final def isInstanceOf[T0]: Boolean

    Test whether the dynamic type of the receiver object is `T0`.

    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.
