Interface CtCodeSnippetExpression<T>

All Superinterfaces:

java.lang.Cloneable, CtCodeElement, CtCodeSnippet, CtElement, CtExpression<T>, CtQueryable, CtTypedElement<T>, CtVisitable, FactoryAccessor, java.io.Serializable, SourcePositionHolder, TemplateParameter<T>

All Known Implementing Classes:

CtCodeSnippetExpressionImpl

public interface CtCodeSnippetExpression<T>
extends CtExpression<T>, CtCodeSnippet

This element is a code snippet that must represent an expression and can thus be inserted in the program's model as is. Code snippets should be avoided since no controls can be performed on them.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
CtCodeSnippetExpression<T>	clone() Clone the element which calls this method in a new object.
<E extends CtExpression<T>> E	compile() Compiles this expression snippet to produce the corresponding AST expression.

Method Detail

compile

<E extends CtExpression<T>> E compile()
                               throws SnippetCompilationError

Compiles this expression snippet to produce the corresponding AST expression.

Throws:

SnippetCompilationError - when the current snippet is not valid Java code expression

clone

CtCodeSnippetExpression<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.
