public abstract Class ResolvedType

Method that can be used to check if call to TypeResolver#resolveSubtype(ResolvedType, Class) will succeed for specific type; if false, it will fail with an exception; if tru it will succeed.

Method that can be used to check if call to TypeResolver#resolveSubtype(ResolvedType, Class) may ever succeed; if false, it will fail with an exception, if true, it may succeed.

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.

Parameters

o:Object

the reference object with which to compare.

Returns:boolean

true if this object is the same as the obj argument; false otherwise.

Annotations

@Override

Method for finding super type of this type that has specified type erased signature. If supertype is an interface which is implemented using multiple inheritance paths, preference is given to interfaces implemented "highest up the stack" (directly implemented interfaces over interfaces superclass implements).

Method that can be used to access element type of array types; will return null for non-array types, and non-null type for array types.

Human-readable brief description of type, which does not include information about super types.

Method that returns type erased signature of the type; suitable as non-generic signature some packages need

Returns type-erased Class<?> that this resolved type has.

Human-readable full description of type, which includes specification of super types (in brief format)

Returns ordered list of interfaces (in declaration order) that this type directly implements.

Returns:List<ResolvedType>

List of interfaces this type implements, if any; empty list if none (never null).

Returns parent class of this type, if it has one; primitive types and interfaces have no parent class, nor does Object type java.lang.Object. Also, placeholders for cyclic (recursive) types return null for this method.

Accessor that must be used to find out actual type in case of "self-reference"; case where type refers recursive to itself (like, T implements Comparable<T>). For all other types returns null but for self-references "real" type. Separate accessor is provided to avoid accidental infinite loops.

Method that returns full generic signature of the type; suitable as signature for things like ASM package.

Method for accessing bindings of type variables to resolved types in context of this type. It has same number of entries as return List of getTypeParameters, accessible using declared name to which they bind; for example, java.util.Map has 2 type bindings; one for key type (name "K", from Map.java) and one for value type (name "V", from Map.java).

Returns list of generic type declarations for this type, in order they are declared in class description.

Overrides java.lang.Object.hashCode.

Doc from java.lang.Object.hashCode.

Returns a hash code value for the 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.

Returns:int

a hash code value for this object.

Annotations

@Override

Method that indicates whether this type is an array type.

Method that indicates whether this type is one of small number of primitive Java types; not including array types of primitive types but just basic primitive types.

Overrides java.lang.Object.toString.

Doc from java.lang.Object.toString.

Returns a string representation of the object.

Returns:String

a string representation of the object.

Annotations

@Override

Method that will try to find type parameterization this type has for specified super type

Returns:List<ResolvedType>

List of type parameters for specified supertype (which may be empty, if supertype is not a parametric type); null if specified type is not a super type of this type
