TypeMirrorpublic interface TypeMirror | Represents a type in the Java programming language.
Types include primitive types, declared types (class and interface types),
array types, type variables, and the null type.
Also represented are wildcard type arguments,
the signature and return types of executables,
and pseudo-types corresponding to packages and to the keyword {@code void}.
Types should be compared using the utility methods in {@link
Types}. There is no guarantee that any particular type will always
be represented by the same object.
To implement operations based on the class of an {@code
TypeMirror} object, either use a {@linkplain TypeVisitor visitor}
or use the result of the {@link #getKind} method. Using {@code
instanceof} is not necessarily a reliable idiom for
determining the effective class of an object in this modeling
hierarchy since an implementation may choose to have a single
object implement multiple {@code TypeMirror} subinterfaces. |
| Methods Summary |
|---|
| public R | accept(javax.lang.model.type.TypeVisitor v, P p)Applies a visitor to this type.
| | public boolean | equals(java.lang.Object obj)Obeys the general contract of {@link Object#equals Object.equals}.
This method does not, however, indicate whether two types represent
the same type.
Semantic comparisons of type equality should instead use
{@link Types#isSameType(TypeMirror, TypeMirror)}.
The results of {@code t1.equals(t2)} and
{@code Types.isSameType(t1, t2)} may differ.
| | public javax.lang.model.type.TypeKind | getKind()Returns the {@code kind} of this type.
| | public int | hashCode()Obeys the general contract of {@link Object#hashCode Object.hashCode}.
| | public java.lang.String | toString()Returns an informative string representation of this type. If
possible, the string should be of a form suitable for
representing this type in source code. Any names embedded in
the result are qualified if possible.
