Class AnnotatedTypeMirror.AnnotatedTypeVariable

java.lang.Object

org.checkerframework.framework.type.AnnotatedTypeMirror

org.checkerframework.framework.type.AnnotatedTypeMirror.AnnotatedTypeVariable

Enclosing class:

AnnotatedTypeMirror

public static class AnnotatedTypeMirror.AnnotatedTypeVariable
extends AnnotatedTypeMirror

Represents a type variable. A type variable may be explicitly declared by a type parameter of a type, method, or constructor. A type variable may also be declared implicitly, as by the capture conversion of a wildcard type argument (see chapter 5 of The Java Language Specification, Third Edition).

Method Detail

isDeclaration

public boolean isDeclaration()

Description copied from class: AnnotatedTypeMirror

Returns true if this type mirror represents a declaration, rather than a use, of a type.

For example, class List<T> { ... } declares a new type List<T>, while List<Integer> is a use of the type.

Overrides:

isDeclaration in class AnnotatedTypeMirror

Returns:

true if this represents a declaration

addAnnotation

public void addAnnotation(AnnotationMirror a)

Description copied from class: AnnotatedTypeMirror

Adds an annotation to this type. Only annotations supported by the type factory are added.

Overrides:

addAnnotation in class AnnotatedTypeMirror

Parameters:

a - the annotation to add

setDeclaration

public void setDeclaration(boolean declaration)

Change whether this AnnotatedTypeVariable is considered a use or a declaration (use this method with caution).

Parameters:

declaration - true if this type variable should be considered a declaration

asUse

public AnnotatedTypeMirror.AnnotatedTypeVariable asUse()

Overrides:

asUse in class AnnotatedTypeMirror

accept

public <R,P> R accept(AnnotatedTypeVisitor<R,P> v,
                      P p)

Description copied from class: AnnotatedTypeMirror

Applies a visitor to this type.

Specified by:

accept in class AnnotatedTypeMirror

Type Parameters:

R - the return type of the visitor's methods

P - the type of the additional parameter to the visitor's methods

Parameters:

v - the visitor operating on this type

p - additional parameter to the visitor

Returns:

a visitor-specified result

getUnderlyingType

public TypeVariable getUnderlyingType()

Description copied from class: AnnotatedTypeMirror

Returns the underlying unannotated Java type, which this wraps

Overrides:

getUnderlyingType in class AnnotatedTypeMirror

Returns:

the underlying type

getLowerBoundField

public AnnotatedTypeMirror getLowerBoundField()

Get the lower bound field directly, bypassing any lazy initialization. This method is necessary to prevent infinite recursions in initialization. In general, prefer getLowerBound.

Returns:

the lower bound field

getLowerBound

public AnnotatedTypeMirror getLowerBound()

Returns:

the lower bound type of this type variable

getUpperBoundField

public AnnotatedTypeMirror getUpperBoundField()

Get the upper bound field directly, bypassing any lazy initialization. This method is necessary to prevent infinite recursions in initialization. In general, prefer getUpperBound.

Returns:

the upper bound field

getUpperBound

public AnnotatedTypeMirror getUpperBound()

Get the upper bound of the type variable, possibly lazily initializing it. Attention: If the upper bound is lazily initialized, it will not contain any annotations! Callers of the method have to make sure that an AnnotatedTypeFactory first processed the bound.

Returns:

the upper bound type of this type variable

getBounds

public AnnotatedTypeParameterBounds getBounds()

getBoundFields

public AnnotatedTypeParameterBounds getBoundFields()

deepCopy

public AnnotatedTypeMirror.AnnotatedTypeVariable deepCopy(boolean copyAnnotations)

Description copied from class: AnnotatedTypeMirror

Returns a deep copy of this type. A deep copy implies that each component type is copied recursively and the returned type refers to those copies in its component locations.

Note: deepCopy provides two important properties in the returned copy:

1. Structure preservation -- The exact structure of the original AnnotatedTypeMirror is preserved in the copy including all component types.
2. Annotation preservation -- All of the annotations from the original AnnotatedTypeMirror and its components have been copied to the new type.

If copyAnnotations is set to false, the second property, Annotation preservation, is removed. This is useful for cases in which the user may want to copy the structure of a type exactly but NOT its annotations.

Specified by:

deepCopy in class AnnotatedTypeMirror

Returns:

a deep copy

deepCopy

public AnnotatedTypeMirror.AnnotatedTypeVariable deepCopy()

Specified by:

deepCopy in class AnnotatedTypeMirror

Returns:

a deep copy of this type with annotations

See Also:

AnnotatedTypeMirror.deepCopy(boolean)

shallowCopy

public AnnotatedTypeMirror.AnnotatedTypeVariable shallowCopy(boolean copyAnnotations)

Description copied from class: AnnotatedTypeMirror

Returns a shallow copy of this type. A shallow copy implies that each component type in the output copy refers to the same object as the object being copie.

Specified by:

shallowCopy in class AnnotatedTypeMirror

Parameters:

copyAnnotations - whether copy should have annotations, i.e. whether field annotations should be copied.

shallowCopy

public AnnotatedTypeMirror.AnnotatedTypeVariable shallowCopy()

Description copied from class: AnnotatedTypeMirror

Returns a shallow copy of this type with annotations.

Specified by:

shallowCopy in class AnnotatedTypeMirror

See Also:

AnnotatedTypeMirror.shallowCopy(boolean)

getErased

public AnnotatedTypeMirror getErased()

This method will traverse the upper bound of this type variable calling getErased until it finds the concrete upper bound. e.g.

  <E extends T>, T extends S, S extends List<String>>

A call to getErased will return the type List

Overrides:

getErased in class AnnotatedTypeMirror

Returns:

the erasure of the upper bound of this type

IMPORTANT NOTE: getErased should always return a FRESH object. This will occur for type variables if all other getErased methods are implemented appropriately. Therefore, to avoid extra copy calls, this method will not call deepCopy on getUpperBound
