Is there a way to find a method by it's bytecode name?

For example, I would like to find a reference to println(Object) by string "_root_.scala.Predef.println(Ljava/lang/Object;)V."

  • I'm curious how you got into this situation (of needing or wanting to do this). – Seth Tisue Jul 11 '17 at 16:26
  • @SethTisue, I am working with **both** scalameta semantic api and scala-reflect and I'm currently in a situation where I have a `scala.meta.Symbol`, but want to call a scala-reflect API with it. I didn't find any straightforward way to convert `scala.meta.Symbol` to something what scala-reflect can understand easily. That is why I'm asking this. – Daniyar Itegulov Jul 11 '17 at 17:17

There is no direct way to do it.

You have to parse string to extract class name. Load class by name and iterate thru its method to find required method.
