Class TreeParser

@NonNull java.lang.Object

checkers.util.trees.TreeParser

public class TreeParser
extends @NonNull Object

A Utility class for parsing Java expression snippets, and converting them to proper Javac AST nodes. This is useful for parsing AssertNonNullIfTrue, AssertNonNull*, and KeyFor values. Currently, it handles four tree types only:

• Identifier tree (e.g. id)
• Literal tree (e.g. 2, 3)
• Method invocation tree (e.g. method(2, 3))
• Member select tree (e.g. Class.field, instance.method())
• Array access tree (e.g. array[id])

Notable limitation: Doesn't handle spaces, or non-method-argument parenthesis. It's implemented via a Recursive-Descend parser.
