Method Details

getTypeCasts

List<CtTypeReference<?>> getTypeCasts()

Returns the type casts if any.

setTypeCasts

<C extends CtExpression<T>> C setTypeCasts(List<CtTypeReference<?>> types)

Sets the type casts.

addTypeCast

<C extends CtExpression<T>> C addTypeCast(CtTypeReference<?> type)

Adds a type cast.

clone

CtExpression<T> clone()

Description copied from interface: CtElement

Clone the element which calls this method in a new object. Note that that references are kept as is, and thus, so if you clone whole classes or methods, some parts of the cloned element (eg executable references) may still point to the initial element. In this case, consider using methods Refactoring.copyType(CtType) and Refactoring.copyMethod(CtMethod) instead which does additional work beyond cloning.
