package scala.annotation
import java.util.logging.Level
/** An annotation for methods whose bodies may be excluded
* from compiler-generated bytecode.
*
* Behavior is influenced by passing `-Xelide-below ` to `scalac`.
* Calls to methods marked elidable (as well as the method body) will
* be omitted from generated code if the priority given the annotation
* is lower than that given on the command line.
*
* {{{
* @elidable(123) // annotation priority
* scalac -Xelide-below 456 // command line priority
* }}}
*
* The method call will be replaced with an expression which depends on
* the type of the elided expression. In decreasing order of precedence:
*
* {{{
* Unit ()
* Boolean false
* T <: AnyVal 0
* T >: Null null
* T >: Nothing Predef.???
* }}}
*
* Complete example:
{{{
import scala.annotation._, elidable._
object Test extends App {
def expensiveComputation(): Int = { Thread.sleep(1000) ; 172 }
@elidable(WARNING) def warning(msg: String) = println(msg)
@elidable(FINE) def debug(msg: String) = println(msg)
@elidable(FINE) def computedValue = expensiveComputation()
warning("Warning! Danger! Warning!")
debug("Debug! Danger! Debug!")
println("I computed a value: " + computedValue)
}
% scalac example.scala && scala Test
Warning! Danger! Warning!
Debug! Danger! Debug!
I computed a value: 172
// INFO lies between WARNING and FINE
% scalac -Xelide-below INFO example.scala && scala Test
Warning! Danger! Warning!
I computed a value: 0
