PathPattern

Compares the receiver object (this) with the argument object (that) for equivalence.

Any implementation of this method should be an equivalence relation:

• It is reflexive: for any instance x of type Any, x.equals(x) should return true.
• It is symmetric: for any instances x and y of type Any, x.equals(y) should return true if and only if y.equals(x) returns true.
• It is transitive: for any instances x, y, and z of type Any if x.equals(y) returns true and y.equals(z) returns true, then x.equals(z) should return true.

If you override this method, you should verify that your implementation remains an equivalence relation. Additionally, when overriding this method it is usually necessary to override hashCode to ensure that objects which are "equal" (o1.equals(o2) returns true) hash to the same scala.Int. (o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)).

Calculates a hash code value for the object.

The default hashing algorithm is platform dependent.

Note that it is allowed for two objects to have identical hash codes (o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)) yet not be equal (o1.equals(o2) returns false). A degenerate implementation could always return 0. However, it is required that if two objects are equal (o1.equals(o2) returns true) that they have identical hash codes (o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)). Therefore, when overriding this method, be sure to verify that the behavior is consistent with the equals method.

The captured parameters when path matches, and nothing when it does not.

The way back to the string this was parsed from. The dev = true boot print and the boot time warnings both name a path, and neither can reach for the source text.

Whether every path this pattern matches, a later pattern would have matched too.

The subsumption an earlier route needs to shadow a later one, decidable segment by segment because there are only three segment kinds: a Static swallows only an equal Static, a Param swallows any single segment, and a CatchAll swallows everything remaining. It is a one-way question, so /widgets/:id subsumes /widgets/new and never the reverse.

The two ragged ends are asymmetric for the same reason matchPath is: a trailing CatchAll matches zero segments, so a pattern ending in one subsumes the prefix it is appended to, while a pattern that runs out of segments first subsumes nothing.

Returns a string representation of the object.

The default representation is platform dependent.
