Add new entry to classpath

The compiler classpath.

The given symbol is a method with the right name and signature to be a runnable program.

We could get away with excluding BoxedBooleanClass for the purpose of equality testing since it need not compare equal to anything but other booleans, but it should be present in case this is put to other uses.

Is the SAMType cls also a SAM under the rules of the JVM?

Create a new class loader to load class file bin

The root symbol loader.

Is the given class symbol eligible for Java serialization-specific methods?

Whether instances of the class represented by the class symbol c might be a subtype of the class represented by the class symbol potentialSuperClass at runtime on this platform. This does not imply that they always will be, only that the compiler cannot fold x.isInstanceOf[potentialSuperClass] to false for for x: c

Update classpath with a substituted subentry

The given class has a main method.

Initialize platform-specific definitions for the current run. Called at the start of each compilation run.
