Field Detail

boundsback to summary
private volatile Object[] bounds

The upper bounds. Lazily converted from FieldTypeSignature[] to Type[]. We are required to evaluate the bounds lazily, so we store them as ASTs until we are first asked for them. This also neatly solves the problem with F-bounds - you can't reify them before the formal is defined.

equalsback to summary
public boolean equals(Object o)

Overrides java.lang.Object.equals.

Doc from java.lang.Object.equals.

Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.

The equals method implements an equivalence relation on non-null object references:

  • It is reflexive: for any non-null reference value x, x.equals(x) should return true.
  • It is symmetric: for any non-null reference values x and y, x.equals(y) should return true if and only if y.equals(x) returns true.
  • It is transitive: for any non-null reference values x, y, and z, if x.equals(y) returns true and y.equals(z) returns true, then x.equals(z) should return true.
  • It is consistent: for any non-null reference values x and y, multiple invocations of x.equals(y) consistently return true or consistently return false, provided no information used in equals comparisons on the objects is modified.
  • For any non-null reference value x, x.equals(null) should return false.

An equivalence relation partitions the elements it operates on into equivalence classes; all the members of an equivalence class are equal to each other. Members of an equivalence class are substitutable for each other, at least for some purposes.

getAnnotatedBoundsback to summary
public AnnotatedType[] getAnnotatedBounds()

Implements java.lang.reflect.TypeVariable.getAnnotatedBounds.

Doc from java.lang.reflect.TypeVariable.getAnnotatedBounds.

Returns an array of AnnotatedType objects that represent the use of types to denote the upper bounds of the type parameter represented by this TypeVariable. The order of the objects in the array corresponds to the order of the bounds in the declaration of the type parameter. Note that if no upper bound is explicitly declared, the upper bound is unannotated Object.

getAnnotationback to summary
public <T extends Annotation> T getAnnotation(Class<T> annotationClass)

Implements java.lang.reflect.AnnotatedElement.getAnnotation.

Doc from java.lang.reflect.AnnotatedElement.getAnnotation.

Returns this element's annotation for the specified type if such an annotation is present, else null.

Annotations
@SuppressWarnings:unchecked
getAnnotationsback to summary
public Annotation[] getAnnotations()

Implements java.lang.reflect.AnnotatedElement.getAnnotations.

Doc from java.lang.reflect.AnnotatedElement.getAnnotations.

Returns annotations that are present on this element. If there are no annotations present on this element, the return value is an array of length 0. The caller of this method is free to modify the returned array; it will have no effect on the arrays returned to other callers.

getAnnotationsByTypeback to summary
public <T extends Annotation> T[] getAnnotationsByType(Class<T> annotationClass)

Overrides default java.lang.reflect.AnnotatedElement.getAnnotationsByType.

Doc from java.lang.reflect.AnnotatedElement.getAnnotationsByType.

Returns annotations that are associated with this element. If there are no annotations associated with this element, the return value is an array of length 0. The difference between this method and getAnnotation(Class) is that this method detects if its argument is a repeatable annotation type (JLS 9.6), and if so, attempts to find one or more annotations of that type by "looking through" a container annotation. The caller of this method is free to modify the returned array; it will have no effect on the arrays returned to other callers.

@Override
getBoundsback to summary
public Type[] getBounds()

Implements java.lang.reflect.TypeVariable.getBounds.

Returns an array of Type objects representing the upper bound(s) of this type variable. Note that if no upper bound is explicitly declared, the upper bound is Object.

For each upper bound B:

  • if B is a parameterized type or a type variable, it is created, (see ParameterizedType for the details of the creation process for parameterized types).
  • Otherwise, B is resolved.
Returns:Type[]

an array of Types representing the upper bound(s) of this type variable

Exceptions
TypeNotPresentException:
if any of the bounds refers to a non-existent type declaration
MalformedParameterizedTypeException:
if any of the bounds refer to a parameterized type that cannot be instantiated for any reason
getDeclaredAnnotationback to summary
public <T extends Annotation> T getDeclaredAnnotation(Class<T> annotationClass)

Overrides default java.lang.reflect.AnnotatedElement.getDeclaredAnnotation.

Doc from java.lang.reflect.AnnotatedElement.getDeclaredAnnotation.

Returns this element's annotation for the specified type if such an annotation is directly present, else null. This method ignores inherited annotations. (Returns null if no annotations are directly present on this element.)

getDeclaredAnnotationsback to summary
public Annotation[] getDeclaredAnnotations()

Implements java.lang.reflect.AnnotatedElement.getDeclaredAnnotations.

Doc from java.lang.reflect.AnnotatedElement.getDeclaredAnnotations.

Returns annotations that are directly present on this element. This method ignores inherited annotations. If there are no annotations directly present on this element, the return value is an array of length 0. The caller of this method is free to modify the returned array; it will have no effect on the arrays returned to other callers.

getDeclaredAnnotationsByTypeback to summary
public <T extends Annotation> T[] getDeclaredAnnotationsByType(Class<T> annotationClass)

Overrides default java.lang.reflect.AnnotatedElement.getDeclaredAnnotationsByType.

Doc from java.lang.reflect.AnnotatedElement.getDeclaredAnnotationsByType.

Returns this element's annotation(s) for the specified type if such annotations are either directly present or indirectly present. This method ignores inherited annotations. If there are no specified annotations directly or indirectly present on this element, the return value is an array of length 0. The difference between this method and getDeclaredAnnotation(Class) is that this method detects if its argument is a repeatable annotation type (JLS 9.6), and if so, attempts to find one or more annotations of that type by "looking through" a container annotation if one is present. The caller of this method is free to modify the returned array; it will have no effect on the arrays returned to other callers.

getNameback to summary
public String getName()

Implements java.lang.reflect.TypeVariable.getName.

Returns the name of this type variable, as it occurs in the source code.

Returns:String

the name of this type variable, as it appears in the source code

hashCodeback to summary
public int hashCode()

Overrides java.lang.Object.hashCode.

Doc from java.lang.Object.hashCode.

Returns a hash code value for this object. This method is supported for the benefit of hash tables such as those provided by java.util.HashMap.

The general contract of hashCode is:

  • Whenever it is invoked on the same object more than once during an execution of a Java application, the hashCode method must consistently return the same integer, provided no information used in equals comparisons on the object is modified. This integer need not remain consistent from one execution of an application to another execution of the same application.
  • If two objects are equal according to the equals method, then calling the hashCode method on each of the two objects must produce the same integer result.
  • It is not required that if two objects are unequal according to the equals method, then calling the hashCode method on each of the two objects must produce distinct integer results. However, the programmer should be aware that producing distinct integer results for unequal objects may improve the performance of hash tables.
