Method Detail

annotationName

public static final @CanonicalName String annotationName(AnnotationMirror annotation)

Returns the fully-qualified name of an annotation as a String.

Parameters:

annotation - the annotation whose name to return

Returns:

the fully-qualified name of an annotation as a String

annotationBinaryName

public static final @BinaryName String annotationBinaryName(AnnotationMirror annotation)

Returns the binary name of an annotation as a String.

Parameters:

annotation - the annotation whose binary name to return

Returns:

the binary name of an annotation as a String

areSame

@EqualsMethod
public static boolean areSame(AnnotationMirror a1,
                                            AnnotationMirror a2)

Returns true iff both annotations are of the same type and have the same annotation values.

This behavior differs from AnnotationMirror.equals(Object). The equals method returns true iff both annotations are the same and annotate the same annotation target (e.g. field, variable, etc) -- that is, if its arguments are the same annotation instance.

Parameters:

a1 - the first AnnotationMirror to compare

a2 - the second AnnotationMirror to compare

Returns:

true iff a1 and a2 are the same annotation

areSameByName

@EqualsMethod
public static boolean areSameByName(AnnotationMirror a1,
                                                  AnnotationMirror a2)

Return true iff a1 and a2 have the same annotation type.

Parameters:

a1 - the first AnnotationMirror to compare

a2 - the second AnnotationMirror to compare

Returns:

true iff a1 and a2 have the same annotation name

See Also:

areSame(AnnotationMirror, AnnotationMirror)

areSameByName

public static boolean areSameByName(AnnotationMirror am,
                                    String aname)

Checks that the annotation am has the name aname (a fully-qualified type name). Values are ignored.

Parameters:

am - the AnnotationMirror whose name to compare

aname - the string to compare

Returns:

true if aname is the name of am

areSameByClass

@Deprecated
public static boolean areSameByClass(AnnotationMirror am,
                                                 Class<? extends Annotation> annoClass)

Deprecated. use AnnotatedTypeFactory#areSameByClass or areSameByName(javax.lang.model.element.AnnotationMirror, javax.lang.model.element.AnnotationMirror)

Checks that the annotation am has the name of annoClass. Values are ignored.

This method is not very efficient. It is more efficient to use AnnotatedTypeFactory#areSameByClass or areSameByName(javax.lang.model.element.AnnotationMirror, javax.lang.model.element.AnnotationMirror).

Parameters:

am - the AnnotationMirror whose class to compare

annoClass - the class to compare

Returns:

true if annoclass is the class of am

areSame

public static boolean areSame(Collection<? extends AnnotationMirror> c1,
                              Collection<? extends AnnotationMirror> c2)

Checks that two collections contain the same annotations.

Parameters:

c1 - the first collection to compare

c2 - the second collection to compare

Returns:

true iff c1 and c2 contain the same annotations, according to areSame(AnnotationMirror, AnnotationMirror)

containsSame

public static boolean containsSame(Collection<? extends AnnotationMirror> c,
                                   AnnotationMirror anno)

Checks that the collection contains the annotation. Using Collection.contains does not always work, because it does not use areSame for comparison.

Parameters:

c - a collection of AnnotationMirrors

anno - the AnnotationMirror to search for in c

Returns:

true iff c contains anno, according to areSame

getSame

public static @Nullable AnnotationMirror getSame(Collection<? extends AnnotationMirror> c,
                                                 AnnotationMirror anno)

Returns the AnnotationMirror in c that is the same annotation as anno.

Parameters:

c - a collection of AnnotationMirrors

anno - the AnnotationMirror to search for in c

Checks that the collection contains the annotation. Using Collection.contains does not always work, because it does not use areSame for comparison.

This method is not very efficient. It is more efficient to use AnnotatedTypeFactory#containsSameByClass or containsSameByName(java.util.Collection<? extends javax.lang.model.element.AnnotationMirror>, java.lang.String).

Parameters:

c - a collection of AnnotationMirrors

Returns the AnnotationMirror in c that has the same class as anno.

Parameters:

c - a collection of AnnotationMirrors

anno - the class to search for in c

getElementValuesWithDefaults

@Deprecated
public static Map<? extends ExecutableElement,? extends AnnotationValue> getElementValuesWithDefaults(AnnotationMirror ad)

Deprecated. use a method that takes an ExecutableElement

Returns the values of an annotation's elements, including defaults. The method with the same name in JavacElements cannot be used directly, because it includes a cast to Attribute.Compound, which doesn't hold for annotations generated by the Checker Framework.

This method is intended for use only by the framework. Clients should use a method that takes an ExecutableElement.

Returns:

the values of the annotation's elements, including defaults

See Also:

AnnotationMirror.getElementValues(), JavacElements.getElementValuesWithDefaults(AnnotationMirror)

Deprecated. use a method that takes an ExecutableElement

Verify whether the element with the name elementName exists in the annotation anno.

This method is intended for use only by the framework. Clients should use a method that takes an ExecutableElement.

Parameters:

anno - the annotation to examine

elementName - the name of the element

Returns:

Deprecated. use getElementValue(AnnotationMirror, ExecutableElement, Class) or getElementValue(AnnotationMirror, ExecutableElement, Class, Object)

Get the element with the name elementName of the annotation anno. The result has type expectedType.

If the return type is an array, use getElementValueArray(javax.lang.model.element.AnnotationMirror, java.lang.CharSequence, java.lang.Class<T>, boolean) instead.

If the return type is an enum, use getElementValueEnum(javax.lang.model.element.AnnotationMirror, java.lang.CharSequence, java.lang.Class<T>, boolean) instead.

Parameters:

anno - the annotation whose element to access

elementName - the name of the element to access

Deprecated. use getElementValueEnumArray(AnnotationMirror, ExecutableElement, Class) or getElementValueEnumArray(AnnotationMirror, ExecutableElement, Class, Enum[])

Get the element with the name elementName of the annotation anno, or the default value if no element is present explicitly, where the element has an array type and the elements are Enums. One element of the result has type expectedType.

This method is intended only for use by the framework. A checker implementation should use getElementValueEnumArray(AnnotationMirror, ExecutableElement, Class) or getElementValueEnumArray(AnnotationMirror, ExecutableElement, Class, Enum[]).

Type Parameters:

T - the class of the type

Parameters:

anno - the annotation to disassemble

elementName - the name of the element to access

expectedType - the component type of the element and of the return type, an enum

useDefaults - whether to apply default values to the element

elementName - the name of the element to access; it must be present in the annotation

useDefaults - whether to apply default values to the element
