Field Detail

argumentStackback to summary
private int argumentStack

The stack used to keep track of class types that have arguments. Each element of this stack is a boolean encoded in one bit. The top of the stack is the least significant bit. The bottom of the stack is a sentinel element always equal to 1 (used to detect when the stack is full). Pushing false = <<= 1, pushing true = ( <<= 1) | 1, popping = >>>= 1.

Class type arguments must be surrounded with '<' and '>' and, because

  1. class types can be nested (because type arguments can themselves be class types),
  2. SignatureWriter always returns 'this' in each visit* method (to avoid allocating new SignatureWriter instances),

we need a stack to properly balance these angle brackets. A new element is pushed on this stack for each new visited type, and popped when the visit of this type ends (either in visitEnd, or because visitInnerClassType is called).
