    • 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)

      Deprecated.
      Warning: this method does not choose properly if multiple methods with the same distance are encountered
      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

    • convertToTypeArray

      public static Class[] convertToTypeArray(Object[] arguments)
      Converts array of values (incl. null) to their respective types.
      Parameters:

      Parameters:
      object - the object containing the method
      methodName - the method of interest
      Returns:
      the resulting closure-like method pointer

Do not use this method directly unless you know what you do.

      self - the object for which to set the metaclass
      mc - the metaclass
