How to let trait use `this` constructor in scala?

Question

[edit update] this is a proper statment of my problem.

I hope to call the constructor inside a trait. But it seems I have to use apply function. does it exist usage like new this()?

Like the code below. It throws type mismatch. I hope to add constraint of constructor, or I have to use apply function.

  trait B { this:C =>
    def values:Seq[Int]
    def apply(ints:Seq[Int]):this.type
    def hello:this.type = apply( values map (_ + 1) )
  }

  trait C

  class A(val v:Seq[Int]) extends C with B{
    override def values: Seq[Int] = v

    override def apply(ints: Seq[Int]): A.this.type = new A(ints)
  }

Answer 1

this.type is the type of this specific instance. So you can write

override def hello = this

but you can't write

override def hello = new A()

since A is a supertype of this.type.

Probably you wanted

trait B { this: C =>
  type This <: B /*or B with C*/
  def hello: This
}

trait C

class A extends C with B {
  type This = A
  override def hello = new A()
}

Or maybe even

trait B { self: C =>
  type This >: self.type <: B with C { type This = self.This }
  def hello: This
}
