In scala 2.13.6 library, what are the purposes of automatically generated functions with `$extensio-CodePudding

When I read the decompiled bytecode of scala, I found a lot of functions under the class scala.StringOps:

The are clearly generated automatically (as they have no counterpart in source code or javadoc). Yet I cannot find any official explanation to this. So my questions are:
What are their purposes?
How can I generate similar functions automatically for my own project?
CodePudding user response：
Those methods are generated because StringOps is a value class. You can read the value classes SIP to see how they are translated.
Basically new StringOps("foo").view is translated to StringOps.view$extension("foo") to avoid any boxing.
