    • isSafe

      public boolean isSafe()
      Returns:
      is this a safe method call, i.e. if true then if the source object is null then this method call will return null rather than throwing a null pointer exception

      public boolean isImplicitThis()
      Returns:
      true if no object expression was specified otherwise if some expression was specified for the object on which to evaluate the method then return false

      Sets a method call target for a direct method call. WARNING: A method call made this way will run outside of the MOP!
      Parameters:
      mn - the target as MethodNode, mn==null means no target
