part of dart._runtime;

final metadata = JS('', 'Symbol("metadata")');

/// Types in dart are represented internally at runtime as follows.
///
///   - Normal nominal types, produced from classes, are represented
///     at runtime by the JS class of which they are an instance.
///     If the type is the result of instantiating a generic class,
///     then the "classes" module manages the association between the
///     instantiated class and the original class declaration
///     and the type arguments with which it was instantiated.  This
///     association can be queried via the "classes" module".
///
///   - All other types are represented as instances of class TypeRep,
///     defined in this module.
///     - Dynamic, Void, and Bottom are singleton instances of sentinal
///       classes.
///     - Function types are instances of subclasses of AbstractFunctionType.
///
/// Function types are represented in one of two ways:
///   - As an instance of FunctionType.  These are eagerly computed.
///   - As an instance of TypeDef.  The TypeDef representation lazily
///     computes an instance of FunctionType, and delegates to that instance.
///
/// These above "runtime types" are what is used for implementing DDC's
/// internal type checks. These objects are distinct from the objects exposed
/// to user code by class literals and calling `Object.runtimeType`. In DDC,
/// the latter are represented by instances of WrappedType which contain a
/// real runtime type internally. This ensures that the returned object only
/// exposes the API that Type defines:
///
///     get String name;
///     String toString();
///
/// These "runtime types" have methods for performing type checks. The methods
/// have the following JavaScript names which are designed to not collide with
/// static methods, which are also placed 'on' the class constructor function.
///
///     T.is(o): Implements 'o is T'.
///     T.as(o): Implements 'o as T'.
///     T._check(o): Implements the type assertion of 'T x = o;'
///
/// By convention, we used named JavaScript functions for these methods with the
/// name 'is_X', 'as_X' and 'check_X' for various X to indicate the type or the
/// implementation strategy for the test (e.g 'is_String', 'is_G' for generic
/// types, etc.)
