CandidateChecks (Groovy 4.0.8)

org.apache.groovy.contracts.generation.CandidateChecks

```
public class CandidateChecks
extends Object
```
Functions in this class are used to determine whether a certain AST node fulfills certain assertion requirements. E.g. whether a class node is a class invariant candidate or not.

- Method Detail
  - public static boolean couldBeContractElementMethodNode(ClassNode type, MethodNode method)
    
    Checks whether the given MethodNode could be a candidate for an arbitrary ContractElement annotation.
    Parameters:
    type - the current ClassNode
    method - the MethodNode to check for ContractElement compliance
    Returns:
    whether the given method node could be a candidate or not
  - public static boolean isClassInvariantCandidate(PropertyNode propertyNode)
    
    Decides whether the given propertyNode is a candidate for class invariant injection.
    Parameters:
    propertyNode - the PropertyNode to check
    Returns:
    whether the propertyNode is a candidate for injecting the class invariant or not
  - public static boolean isClassInvariantCandidate(ClassNode type, MethodNode method)
    
    Decides whether the given method is a candidate for class invariants.
    Parameters:
    type - the current ClassNode
    method - the MethodNode to check for class invariant compliance
    Returns:
    whether the given MethodNode is a candidate for class invariants
  - public static boolean isContractsCandidate(ClassNode type)
    
    Checks whether the given ClassNode is a candidate for applying contracts.
    
    If the given class node has already been processed in this compilation run, this method will return false.
    Parameters:
    type - the ClassNode to be checked
    Returns:
    whether the given type is a candidate for applying contract assertions
  - public static boolean isInterfaceContractsCandidate(ClassNode type)
    
    Checks whether the given ClassNode is a candidate for applying interface contracts.
    Parameters:
    type - the ClassNode to be checked
    Returns:
    whether the given type is a candidate for applying interface contract assertions
  - public static boolean isPostconditionCandidate(ClassNode type, MethodNode method)
    
    Decides whether the given method is a candidate for a post-condition.
    Parameters:
    type - the current ClassNode
    method - the MethodNode to check for post-condition compliance
    Returns:
    whether the given MethodNode is a candidate for post-conditions
  - public static boolean isPreOrPostconditionCandidate(ClassNode type, MethodNode method)
    
    Decides whether the given method is a candidate for a pre- or postcondition.
    Parameters:
    type - the current ClassNode
    method - the MethodNode to check for pre- or postcondition compliance
    Returns:
    whether the given MethodNode is a candidate for pre- or postconditions
  - public static boolean isPreconditionCandidate(ClassNode type, MethodNode method)
    
    Decides whether the given method is a candidate for a pre-condition.
    Parameters:
    type - the current ClassNode
    method - the MethodNode to check for pre-condition compliance
    Returns:
    whether the given MethodNode is a candidate for pre-conditions
  - public static boolean isRuntimeClass(ClassNode type)
    
    Checks whether the given ClassNode is part of the Groovy/Java runtime.
    Parameters:
    type - the current ClassNode
    Returns:
    true whether the current ClassNode is a Groovy/Java system class
