Obtain a previously constructed ClassBType for a given internal name, or None if no such ClassBType was constructed.

The ClassBType for a class symbol.

The class symbol scala.Nothing is mapped to the class scala.runtime.Nothing$. Similarly, scala.Null is mapped to scala.runtime.Null$. This is because there exist no class files for the Nothing / Null. If used for example as a parameter type, we use the runtime classes in the classfile method signature.

Note that the referenced class symbol may be an implementation class. For example when compiling a mixed-in method that forwards to the static method in the implementation class, the class descriptor of the receiver (the implementation class) is obtained by creating the ClassBType.

The class internal name for a given class symbol.

The jvm descriptor for a symbol.

The jvm descriptor of a type.

This method returns the BType for a type reference, for example a parameter type.

If the result is a ClassBType for a nested class, it is added to the innerClassBufferASM.

If t references a class, toTypeKind ensures that the class is not an implementation class. See also comment on getClassBTypeAndRegisterInnerClass, which is invoked for implementation classes.
