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.

@Override
getLowerBoundsback to summary
public Type[] getLowerBounds()

Implements java.lang.reflect.WildcardType.getLowerBounds.

Returns an array of Type objects representing the lower bound(s) of this type variable. Note that if no lower bound is explicitly declared, the lower bound is the type of null. In this case, a zero length array is returned.

For each lower 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 lower 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
getUpperBoundsback to summary
public Type[] getUpperBounds()

Implements java.lang.reflect.WildcardType.getUpperBounds.

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
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.

makeback to summary
public static WildcardTypeImpl make(FieldTypeSignature[] ubs, FieldTypeSignature[] lbs, GenericsFactory f)

Factory method.

Parameters
ubs:FieldTypeSignature[]

- an array of ASTs representing the upper bounds for the type variable to be created

lbs:FieldTypeSignature[]

- an array of ASTs representing the lower bounds for the type variable to be created

f:GenericsFactory

- a factory that can be used to manufacture reflective objects that represent the bounds of this wildcard type

Returns:WildcardTypeImpl

a wild card type with the requested bounds and factory

toStringback to summary
public String toString()

Overrides java.lang.Object.toString.

Doc from java.lang.Object.toString.

Returns a string representation of the object. Satisfying this method's contract implies a non-null result must be returned.
