It makes no sense for this type to be final
. It definitely has subclasses, including AnyRef
.

I based it on Definitions.scala

When trying to extend AnyKind
, the following errors are reported:

Definitions is what works for the compiler with the minimum amount of work. From a spec point of view, AnyKind
is not even a class (nor a trait). It's a completely unique thing. The error message that you mention is definitely not a good message. We shouldn't tailor the doc to that poor message. We should tailor it to the real spec as much as possible instead.
(Arguably it should even be an abstract type as well, but since Nothing
is presented as a class, it makes "less not" sense to also use a class here.)

The docs even say "It is declared abstract and final"

This docstring is copied from Definitions.scala

It is also source of truth for scaladoc generation. I think those comments should be kept in sync.
Should I change it in
Definitions.scala
as well?

LGTM, but I do think the docs page description for AnyKind is better.
@WojciechMazur what about the change to the AnyKind docs in the comments? |
and exclude some synthetic sources that recently became part of the source jar (scala/scala3#20904)
