public class WideningCategories extends Object
This class provides helper methods to determine the type from a widening operation for example for a plus operation.
To determine the resulting type of for example a=exp1+exp2 we look at the conditions isIntCategory(ClassNode), isLongCategory(ClassNode), isBigIntCategory(ClassNode), isDoubleCategory(ClassNode) and isBigDecCategory(ClassNode) in that order. The first case applying to exp1 and exp2 is defining the result type of the expression.
If for example you look at x = 1 + 2l we have the first category applying to the number 1 being int, since the 1 is an int. The 2l is a long, therefore the int category will not apply and the result type can't be int. The next category in the list is long, and since both apply to long, the result type is a long.

public static ClassNode |
lowestUpperBound(List<ClassNode> nodes)Given a list of types, returns the first common supertype. |
|
public static ClassNode |
lowestUpperBound(ClassNode a, ClassNode b)Given two types, returns the first common supertype, or the class itself if there are equal. |
Determines if the source class implements an interface or subclasses the target type. This method takes the LowestUpperBoundClassNode type into account, allowing removal of unnecessary casts.
Checks if type is a BigDecimal, BigInteger, long, int, byte, char or short.
Checks if type is a BigInteger, long, int, byte, char or short.
Checks if type is a double.
Checks if type is a float, double or BigDecimal (category).
Checks if type is a float.
Checks if type is a float or double.
Checks if type is an int.
Checks if type is an int, byte, char or short.
Checks if type is a long, int, byte, char or short.
Checks if type is a BigDecimal (category) or Number.
Given a list of types, returns the first common supertype. For example, Double and Float would return Number, while Set and String would return Object.
Given two types, returns the first common supertype, or the class itself if there are equal. For example, Double and Float would return Number, while Set and String would return Object.
This method is not guaranteed to return a class node which corresponds to a real type. For example, if two types have more than one interface in common and are not in the same hierarchy branch, then the returned type will be a virtual type implementing all those interfaces.
Calls to this method are supposed to be made with resolved generics. This means that you can have wildcards, but no placeholder.
