Scala example source code file (TypeToStrings.scala)

This example Scala source code file (TypeToStrings.scala) is included in my "Source Code Warehouse" project. The intent of this project is to help you more easily find Scala source code examples by using tags.

All credit for the original source code belongs to scala-lang.org; I'm just trying to make examples easier to find. (For my Scala work, see my Scala examples and tutorials.)

Scala tags/keywords

collection, exceeded, hashset, int, mutable, string, symboltable, type, typetostrings

The TypeToStrings.scala Scala example source code

package scala
package reflect
package internal
package tpe

import scala.collection.mutable.HashSet

private[internal] trait TypeToStrings {
  self: SymbolTable =>

  /** The maximum number of recursions allowed in toString
    */
  final val maxToStringRecursions = 50

  private var _toStringRecursions = 0
  def toStringRecursions = _toStringRecursions
  def toStringRecursions_=(value: Int) = _toStringRecursions = value

  private var _toStringSubjects = HashSet[Type]()
  def toStringSubjects = _toStringSubjects

  protected def typeToString(tpe: Type): String =
    // if (toStringSubjects contains tpe) {
    //   // handles self-referential anonymous classes and who knows what else
    //   "..."
    // }
    // else
    if (toStringRecursions >= maxToStringRecursions) {
      devWarning("Exceeded recursion depth attempting to print " + util.shortClassOfInstance(tpe))
      if (settings.debug)
        (new Throwable).printStackTrace

      "..."
    }
    else
      try {
        toStringRecursions += 1
        // TODO: study performance impact of this cache
        // to quote Jason:
        //   I'm a little uneasy with the performance impact of the fail-safe. We end up calling Type#toString
        //   when we generate error messages, including, importantly, errors issued during silent mode that are never issued.
        // toStringSubjects += tpe
        tpe.safeToString
      } finally {
        // toStringSubjects -= tpe
        toStringRecursions -= 1
      }
}
