This implementation has been ported from the scalac backend, but is much simpler because it does not have to deal with hacks around scalac's LabelDefs.


As preliminary work: For switch-Matches in PatMap, convert scrutinee and alternatives to Int.

In JVM bytecode as well in Scala.js IR, switches only work with primitive ints. Therefore, it makes more sense to convert the scrutinee and alternatives of switch-Matches to Ints early.

This is also what scalac does. See RegularSwitchMaker in patmat/MatchOptimization.scala.

The JVM back-end tolerates non-ints due its aggressive and blind adaptations everywhere (not because of a deliberate action to support non-Ints). However, the Scala.js back-end does not like receiving non-Ints in Matches, because it is much more conservative in where it inserts adaptations (i.e., almost nowhere).

Commit Messages

We want to keep history, but for that to actually be useful we have
some rules on how to format our commit messages (relevant xkcd).

Please stick to these guidelines for commit messages:

  1. Separate subject from body with a blank line
  2. When fixing an issue, start your commit message with Fix #<ISSUE-NBR>:
  3. Limit the subject line to 72 characters
  4. Capitalize the subject line
  5. Do not end the subject line with a period
  6. Use the imperative mood in the subject line ("Add" instead of "Added")
  7. Wrap the body at 80 characters
  8. Use the body to explain what and why vs. how
