  8. val accessFlags: Int

    The access flags of this method.

    The access flags of this method. Though it is possible to directly work with the accessFlags field, it may be more convenient to use the respective methods (isNative, isAbstract, ...) to query the access flags.

    Defines an absolute order on Method instances based on their method signatures.

    The order is defined by lexicographically comparing the names of the methods and – in case that the names of both methods are identical – by comparing their method descriptors.

    Note

    When matching the descriptor the return type is also taken into consideration.

  38. def hasSignature(other: Method, ignoreReturnType: Boolean = false): Boolean

    Returns true if this method and the given method have the same signature.

    Returns true if this method and the given method have the same signature.

    ignoreReturnType

    If false (default), then the return type is taken into consideration. This models the behavior of the JVM w.r.t. method dispatch. However, if you want to determine whether this method potentially overrides the given one, you may want to specify that you want to ignore the return type. (The Java compiler generates the appropriate methods.)
