Method Detail

isValidUse

public boolean isValidUse(AnnotatedTypeMirror.AnnotatedDeclaredType declarationType,
                          AnnotatedTypeMirror.AnnotatedDeclaredType useType)
Description copied from class: BaseTypeChecker
Tests that the qualifiers present on the useType are valid qualifiers, given the qualifiers on the declaration of the type, declarationType.

The check is shallow, as it does not descend into generic or array types (i.e. only performing the validity check on the raw type or outmost array dimension). BaseTypeVisitor.validateTypeOf(Tree) would call this for each type argument or array dimention separately.

For instance, in the IGJ type system, a @Mutable is an invalid qualifier for String, as String is declared as @Immutable String.

In most cases, useType simply needs to be a subtype of declarationType, but there are exceptions. In IGJ, a variable may be declared @ReadOnly String, even though String is @Immutable String; ReadOnly is not a subtype of Immutable.

Overrides:
isValidUse in class BaseTypeChecker
Parameters:
declarationType - the type of the class (TypeElement)
useType - the use of the class (instance type)
Returns:
if the useType is a valid use of elemType

getSuppressWarningsKey

public Collection<String> getSuppressWarningsKey()
Overrides:
getSuppressWarningsKey in class SourceChecker
Returns:
String keys that a checker honors for suppressing warnings and errors that it issues
