  public static GenericsType[] alignGenericTypes(GenericsType[] redirectGenericTypes, GenericsType[] parameterizedTypes, GenericsType[] alignmentTarget)

  Given a parameterized type and a generic type information, aligns actual type parameters. For example, if a class uses generic type

  <T,U,V>

  (redirectGenericTypes), is used with actual type parameters

  <java.lang.String, U,V>

  , then a class or interface using generic types

  <T,V>

  will be aligned to

  <java.lang.String,V>

  deprecated:

  You shouldn't call this method because it is inherently unreliable.

  Parameters:

  redirectGenericTypes - the type arguments or the redirect class node

  parameterizedTypes - the actual type arguments used on this class node

  alignmentTarget - the generic type arguments to which we want to align to

  Returns:

  aligned type arguments

  Parameters:

  genericsSpec - the generics context information spec

  oldPlaceHolders - the old placeholders

  Returns:

  the new generics types

  public static Map<GenericsType, GenericsType> makeDeclaringAndActualGenericsTypeMap(ClassNode declaringClass, ClassNode actualReceiver)

  map declaring generics type to actual generics type, e.g. GROOVY-7204: declaring generics types: T, S extends Serializable actual generics types : String, Long the result map is [ T: String, S: Long ] The resolved types can not help us to choose methods correctly if the argument is a string: T: Object, S: Serializable so we need actual types: T: String, S: Long

  public static Map<GenericsType, GenericsType> makeDeclaringAndActualGenericsTypeMapOfExactType(ClassNode declaringClass, ClassNode actualReceiver)

  The method is similar with GenericsUtils.makeDeclaringAndActualGenericsTypeMap, The main difference is that the method will try to map all placeholders found to the relevant exact types, but the other will not try even if the parameterized type has placeholders

  Parameters:

  declaringClass - the generics class node declaring the generics types

  actualReceiver - the subclass class node

  Returns:

  the placeholder-to-actualtype mapping

  public static ClassNode parameterizeInterfaceGenerics(ClassNode hint, ClassNode target)

  Interface class nodes retrieved from ClassNode.getInterfaces or ClassNode.getAllInterfaces are returned with generic type arguments. This method allows returning a parameterized interface given the parameterized class node which implements this interface.

  deprecated:

  Use #parameterizeType instead

  Parameters:

  hint - the class node where generics types are parameterized

  target - the interface we want to parameterize generics types

  Returns:

  a parameterized interface class node

  Since:

  2.0.0

• public static Tuple2<ClassNode, ClassNode> parameterizeSAM(ClassNode samType)

  Gets the parameter and return types of the abstract method of SAM. If the abstract method is not parameterized, we will get generics placeholders, e.g. T, U For example, the abstract method of Function is

        R apply(T t);
   

  We parameterize the above interface as Function<String, Integer>, then the abstract method will be

        Integer apply(String t);
   

  When we call parameterizeSAM on the ClassNode Function<String, Integer>, we can get parameter types and return type of the above abstract method, i.e. ClassNode ClassHelper.STRING_TYPE and ClassHelper.Integer_TYPE

  Parameters:

  samType - the class node which contains only one abstract method

• public static ClassNode parameterizeType(ClassNode hint, ClassNode target)

  Parameters:

  hint - the ClassNode where generics types are parameterized

  target - the interface we want to parameterize generics types

  Returns:

  a parameterized interface ClassNode
