ARRAY_WITH_NULL

public static final Object[] ARRAY_WITH_NULL

EMPTY_ARRAY

public static final Object[] EMPTY_ARRAY

public static final Class[] EMPTY_TYPE_ARRAY

LOG

protected static final Logger LOG

accessibleToConstructor

public static boolean accessibleToConstructor(Class at, Constructor constructor)

asPrimitiveArray

public static Object asPrimitiveArray(List list, Class parameterType)

Parameters:

list - the original list

parameterType - the resulting array type

Returns:

the constructed array

asWrapperArray

public static Object[] asWrapperArray(Object parameters, Class componentType)

calculateParameterDistance

public static long calculateParameterDistance(Class[] arguments, ParameterTypes pt)

note: when shifting with 32 bit, you should only shift on a long. If you do that with an int, then i==(i<<32), which means you loose the shift information

capitalize

public static String capitalize(String property)

In general we want to match the signature that allows us to use as less arguments for the vargs part as possible. That means the longer signature usually wins if both signatures are vargs, while vargs looses always against a signature without vargs. A vs B : def foo(Object[] a) {1} -> case B def foo(a,b,Object[] c) {2} -> case A assert foo(new Object(),new Object()) == 2 --> A preferred over B A vs C : def foo(Object[] a) {1} -> case B def foo(a,b) {2} -> case C assert foo(new Object(),new Object()) == 2 --> C preferred over A A vs D : def foo(Object[] a) {1} -> case D def foo(a,Object[] b) {2} -> case A assert foo(new Object()) == 2 --> A preferred over D This gives C case B def foo(a,b) {2} -> case C assert foo(new Object(),new Object()) == 2 --> C preferred over B, matches C case B def foo(a,Object[] b) {2} -> case D assert foo(new Object(),new Object()) == 2 --> D preferred over B This gives C

castArgumentsToClassArray

public static Class[] castArgumentsToClassArray(Object[] argTypes)

chooseEmptyMethodParams

public static Object chooseEmptyMethodParams(FastArray methods)

Parameters:

methods - the methods to choose from

Returns:

the method with 1 parameter which takes the most general type of object (e.g. Object)

chooseMostGeneralMethodWith1NullParam

public static Object chooseMostGeneralMethodWith1NullParam(FastArray methods)

Parameters:

methods - the methods to choose from

Returns:

the method with 1 parameter which takes the most general type of object (e.g. Object) ignoring primitive types

containsMatchingMethod

public static boolean containsMatchingMethod(List list, MetaMethod method)

Parameters:

list - a list of MetaMethods

method - the MetaMethod of interest

Returns:

true if a method of the same matching prototype was found in the list

convertToTypeArray

public static Class[] convertToTypeArray(Object[] args)

param instance array to the type array

Parameters:

args - the arguments

Returns:

the types of the arguments

createExceptionText

public static GroovyRuntimeException createExceptionText(String init, MetaMethod method, Object object, Object[] args, Throwable reason, boolean setReason)

getClassName

protected static String getClassName(Object object)

getMethodPointer

public static Closure getMethodPointer(Object object, String methodName)

Returns a callable object for the given method name on the object. The object acts like a Closure in that it can be called, like a closure and passed around - though really its a method pointer, not a closure per se.

Parameters:

object - the object containing the method

methodName - the method of interest

Returns:

the resulting closure-like method pointer
