I discover a strange phenomenon:
class A {
val dual: A = this
object T {
implicit def doubleDual(t: T): dual.dual.T = t.asInstanceOf[dual.dual.T]
implicit def justForTest(t: T): Int = 777
}
class T
}
val a = new A
val t = new a.T
// import a.T._
val x: Int = t //this works!
val t1: a.dual.dual.T = t //this doesn't work!
According to implicit search rule, the method doubleDual
in object T
should be applied. But it doesn't. I have to import a.T._
manually. Why?
The key is "the same name"!
class A {
val dual: A = this
object T {
implicit def doubleDual(t: T): dual.dual.T = t.asInstanceOf[dual.dual.T]
}
class T
}
val a = new A
val t = new a.T
import a.T.doubleDual //
import a.dual.dual.T.doubleDual //the same name!
val t1: a.dual.dual.T = t // won't compile
But after rename:
import a.T.doubleDual //
import a.dual.dual.T.{doubleDual => dd} // different name!
val t1: a.dual.dual.T = t // can compile
