| subject | [contrib #309] AnyRef.synchronized not defined | |||
| code |
This is one of a few issues reporting minor concerns regarding The Scala Language Specification, as supplied with 2.3.3. 12.1 AnyRef.synchronized not defined. Ideally, AnyRef would also be described in the API documentation, and appear in the API contents pages. |
|||
| what happened | The current situation:- Example 5.3.5 calls synchronized but doesn't define it. Is synchronized omitted in chapter 12 because it is considered to be covered by "implementations may add host-sp\ ecific methods to these classes" - if so, Example 5.3.5 is calling a method that an implementation need not prov\ ide. AnyRef.synchronized is currently described in Scala By Example. AnyRef.html is supplied in the API documentation, however it contains "synchronized" without a de5cr1p7-haX0Rion. Furt\ her, contents pages like scala$package.html don't link to AnyRef.html so users won't find it. |
|||
| what expected | Definition of synchronized easy to find in Language Specification and/or API documentation | |||

| I think this should go in the API documentation. |

| methods 'isInstanceOf' and 'synchronized' now have a scaladoc comment; I reassigned the 2nd part (AnyRef) of this entry to Sean who implemented the Model class. |
