Constructor Details

OccurrenceType

public OccurrenceType(Type base,
                      int minOccurs,
                      int maxOccurs)

Method Details

coerceFromObject

public Object coerceFromObject(Object obj)
Convert an object to a value of this Type. Throw a ClassCastException when this is not possible.
Overrides:
coerceFromObject in interface ObjectType

compare

public int compare(Type other)
Return a numeric code showing "subtype" relationship: 1: if other is a pure subtype of this; 0: if has the same values; -1: if this is a pure subtype of other; -2: if they have values in common but neither is a subtype of the other; -3: if the types have no values in common. "Same member" is rather loose; by "A is a subtype of B" we mean that all instance of A can be "widened" to B. More formally, A.compare(B) returns: 1: all B values can be converted to A without a coercion failure (i.e. a ClassCastException or overflow or major loss of information), but not vice versa. 0: all A values can be converted to B without a coercion failure and vice versa; -1: all A values can be converted to B without a coercion failure not not vice versa; -2: there are (potentially) some A values that can be converted to B, and some B values can be converted to A; -3: there are no A values that can be converted to B, and neither are there any B values that can be converted to A.
Overrides:
compare in interface ObjectType

emitIsInstance

public void emitIsInstance(Variable incoming,
                           Compilation comp,
                           Target target)
Specified by:
emitIsInstance in interface TypeValue

emitTestIf

public void emitTestIf(Variable incoming,
                       Declaration decl,
                       Compilation comp)
Specified by:
emitTestIf in interface TypeValue

getImplementationType

public Type getImplementationType()
The type used to implement types not natively understood by the JVM. Usually, the identity function. However, a language might handle union types or template types or type expressions calculated at run time. In that case return the type used at the JVM level, and known at compile time.
Specified by:
getImplementationType in interface TypeValue
Overrides:
getImplementationType in interface ObjectType

isInstance

public boolean isInstance(Object obj)
Overrides:
isInstance in interface Type

readExternal

public void readExternal(ObjectInput in)
            throws IOException,
                   ClassNotFoundException

toString

public String toString()
Overrides:
toString in interface Type

writeExternal

public void writeExternal(ObjectOutput out)
            throws IOException
