@Documented @Retention(value: RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME) @Target(value: [ElementType.METHOD, ElementType.CONSTRUCTOR]) @interface FormatMethod
If this annotation is attached to a Formatter.format-like method,
then when type-checking calls to the method, it will be a candidate method
checked by FormatStringChecker.
The first argument must be of type Locale or String.
If the first argument is of type Locale
, the second argument must be of type String
.
The String argument is treated as a format string containing zero or more embedded
format specifiers. The format specifiers determine how the remaining arguments will
be used within the resulting output.
The FormatStringChecker
ensures that the format string is valid and the
remaining arguments are compatible with the embedded format specifiers.
