Method Summary

static GenericsType[]	alignGenericTypes(GenericsType[] redirectGenericTypes, GenericsType[] parameterizedTypes, GenericsType[] alignmentTarget) Given a parameterized type and a generic type information, aligns actual type parameters.
static GenericsType	buildWildcardType(ClassNode... types) Generates a wildcard generic type in order to be used for checks against class nodes.
static java.util.Map<java.lang.String,GenericsType>	extractPlaceholders(ClassNode cn)
static void	extractPlaceholders(ClassNode node, java.util.Map<java.lang.String,GenericsType> map) For a given classnode, fills in the supplied map with the parameterized types it defines.
static ClassNode	parameterizeInterfaceGenerics(ClassNode hint, ClassNode target) Deprecated. Use #parameterizeType instead
static ClassNode	parameterizeType(ClassNode hint, ClassNode target) Interface class nodes retrieved from ClassNode.getInterfaces() or ClassNode.getAllInterfaces() are returned with generic type arguments.

Method Detail

alignGenericTypes

public static GenericsType[] alignGenericTypes(GenericsType[] redirectGenericTypes,
                                               GenericsType[] parameterizedTypes,
                                               GenericsType[] alignmentTarget)

Given a parameterized type and a generic type information, aligns actual type parameters. For example, if a class uses generic type

<T,U,V>

(redirectGenericTypes), is used with actual type parameters

<java.lang.String, U,V>

, then a class or interface using generic types

<T,V>

will be aligned to

<java.lang.String,V>

Parameters:

redirectGenericTypes - the type arguments or the redirect class node

parameterizedTypes - the actual type arguments used on this class node

alignmentTarget - the generic type arguments to which we want to align to

Returns:

aligned type arguments

buildWildcardType

public static GenericsType buildWildcardType(ClassNode... types)

Generates a wildcard generic type in order to be used for checks against class nodes. See GenericsType.isCompatibleWith(org.codehaus.groovy.ast.ClassNode).

Parameters:

types - the type to be used as the wildcard upper bound

Returns:

a wildcard generics type

extractPlaceholders

public static java.util.Map<java.lang.String,GenericsType> extractPlaceholders(ClassNode cn)

extractPlaceholders

public static void extractPlaceholders(ClassNode node,
                                       java.util.Map<java.lang.String,GenericsType> map)

For a given classnode, fills in the supplied map with the parameterized types it defines.

Parameters:

node -

map -

parameterizeInterfaceGenerics

public static ClassNode parameterizeInterfaceGenerics(ClassNode hint,
                                                      ClassNode target)

Deprecated. Use #parameterizeType instead

Interface class nodes retrieved from ClassNode.getInterfaces() or ClassNode.getAllInterfaces() are returned with generic type arguments. This method allows returning a parameterized interface given the parameterized class node which implements this interface.

Parameters:

hint - the class node where generics types are parameterized

target - the interface we want to parameterize generics types

Returns:

a parameterized interface class node

parameterizeType

public static ClassNode parameterizeType(ClassNode hint,
                                         ClassNode target)

Interface class nodes retrieved from ClassNode.getInterfaces() or ClassNode.getAllInterfaces() are returned with generic type arguments. This method allows returning a parameterized interface given the parameterized class node which implements this interface.

Parameters:

hint - the class node where generics types are parameterized

target - the interface we want to parameterize generics types

Returns:

a parameterized interface class node
