ArrayType

• java.lang.Object
  • com.sun.org.apache.bcel.internal.generic.Type
    • com.sun.org.apache.bcel.internal.generic.ReferenceType

Fields Summary
private int	dimensions
private Type	basic_type

Constructors Summary
public ArrayType(byte type, int dimensions) Convenience constructor for array type, e.g. int[] param type array type, e.g. T_INT this(BasicType.getType(type), dimensions);
public ArrayType(String class_name, int dimensions) Convenience constructor for reference array type, e.g. Object[] param class_name complete name of class (java.lang.String, e.g.) this(new ObjectType(class_name), dimensions);
public ArrayType(Type type, int dimensions) Constructor for array of given type param type type of array (may be an array itself) super(Constants.T_ARRAY, "<dummy>"); if((dimensions < 1) || (dimensions > Constants.MAX_BYTE)) throw new ClassGenException("Invalid number of dimensions: " + dimensions); switch(type.getType()) { case Constants.T_ARRAY: ArrayType array = (ArrayType)type; this.dimensions = dimensions + array.dimensions; basic_type = array.basic_type; break; case Constants.T_VOID: throw new ClassGenException("Invalid type: void[]"); default: // Basic type or reference this.dimensions = dimensions; basic_type = type; break; } StringBuffer buf = new StringBuffer(); for(int i=0; i < this.dimensions; i++) buf.append('["); buf.append(basic_type.getSignature()); signature = buf.toString();

Methods Summary
public boolean	equals(java.lang.Object type) return true if both type objects refer to the same array type. if(type instanceof ArrayType) { ArrayType array = (ArrayType)type; return (array.dimensions == dimensions) && array.basic_type.equals(basic_type); } else return false;
public com.sun.org.apache.bcel.internal.generic.Type	getBasicType() return basic type of array, i.e., for int[][][] the basic type is int return basic_type;
public int	getDimensions() return number of dimensions of array return dimensions;
public com.sun.org.apache.bcel.internal.generic.Type	getElementType() return element type of array, i.e., for int[][][] the element type is int[][] if(dimensions == 1) return basic_type; else return new ArrayType(basic_type, dimensions - 1);
public int	hashcode() return a hash code value for the object. return basic_type.hashCode() ^ dimensions;
