MethodPointerExpression (Groovy 3.0.5)

java.lang.Object
- org.codehaus.groovy.ast.ASTNode
- - org.codehaus.groovy.ast.AnnotatedNode
  - - org.codehaus.groovy.ast.expr.Expression
    - - org.codehaus.groovy.ast.expr.MethodPointerExpression

All Implemented Interfaces:

GroovydocHolder<AnnotatedNode>, NodeMetaDataHandler

Direct Known Subclasses:

MethodReferenceExpression
```
public class MethodPointerExpression
extends Expression
```
Represents a method pointer on an object such as foo.&bar which means find the method pointer for the bar method on the foo instance. This is equivalent to: foo.metaClass.getMethodPointer(foo, "bar")
