@Documented @Retention(value=RUNTIME) @Target(value={METHOD,CONSTRUCTOR}) public @interface Pure
Pure
is a method annotation that means both SideEffectFree
and Deterministic
. The more important of these, when performing pluggable type-checking, is usually
SideEffectFree
.
For a discussion of the meaning of Pure
on a constructor, see the documentation of
Deterministic
.
This annotation is inherited by subtypes, just as if it were meta-annotated with
@InheritedAnnotation
.
