Method Details

parse

public static JavaExpression parse(String expression,
 TypeMirror enclosingType,
 @Nullable ThisReference thisReference,
 @Nullable List<FormalParameter> parameters,
 @Nullable TreePath localVarPath,
 TreePath pathToCompilationUnit,
 ProcessingEnvironment env)
                            throws JavaExpressionParseUtil.JavaExpressionParseException

Parses a string to a JavaExpression.

For most uses, clients should call one of the static methods in StringToJavaExpression rather than calling this method directly.

Parameters:

expression - the string expression to parse

enclosingType - type of the class that encloses the JavaExpression

thisReference - the JavaExpression to which to parse "this", or null if "this" should not appear in the expression

parameters - list of JavaExpressions to which to parse formal parameter references such as "#2", or null if formal parameter references should not appear in the expression

localVarPath - if non-null, the expression is parsed as if it were written at this location; affects only parsing of local variables

pathToCompilationUnit - required to use the underlying Javac API

env - the processing environment

Returns:

expression as a JavaExpression

Throws:

JavaExpressionParseUtil.JavaExpressionParseException - if the string cannot be parsed

parameterIndex

public static int parameterIndex(String s)

If s is exactly a formal parameter, return its 1-based index. Returns -1 otherwise.

Parameters:

s - a Java expression

Returns:

the 1-based index of the formal parameter that s represents, or -1
