getTopLevelType

public CtTypeReference<?> getTopLevelType()

Description copied from interface: CtTypeReference

Returns this, or top level type of this, if this is an inner type

Specified by:

getTopLevelType in interface CtTypeReference<T>

getAccessType

public CtTypeReference<?> getAccessType()

Description copied from interface: CtTypeReference

Computes nearest access path parent to this type from the context of this type reference. The context is defined by this.getParent(CtType.class). Normally the declaring type can be used as access path. For example in this class hierarchy

 class A {
    class B {
       class C {}
    }
 }
 

The C.getAccessParentFrom(null) will return B, because B can be used to access C, using code like B.C
But when some class (A or B) on the access path is not visible in type X, then we must found an alternative path. For example in case like, when A and B are invisible, e.g because of modifier protected:

 class D extends B {
 }
 class X extends D {
         class F extends C
 }
 

The C.getAccessParentFrom(X) will return D, because D can be used to access C in scope of X.

Specified by:

getAccessType in interface CtTypeReference<T>

Returns:

type reference which can be used to access this type in scope of contextType.

isShadow

public boolean isShadow()

Description copied from interface: CtShadowable

When an element isn't present in the factory (created in another factory), this element is considered as "shadow". e.g., a shadow element can be a CtType of java.lang.Class built when we call CtTypeReference.getTypeDeclaration() on a reference of java.lang.Class.

Specified by:

isShadow in interface CtShadowable

Returns:

true if the element is a shadow element, otherwise false.

setShadow

public <E extends CtShadowable> E setShadow(boolean isShadow)

Description copied from interface: CtShadowable

Marks an element as shadow. To know what is a shadow element, see the javadoc of CtShadowable.isShadow().

Specified by:

setShadow in interface CtShadowable

clone

public CtTypeReference<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.

Specified by:

clone in interface CtElement

Specified by:

clone in interface CtReference

Specified by:

clone in interface CtTypeReference<T>

Overrides:

clone in class CtReferenceImpl

getTypeParameterDeclaration

public CtTypeParameter getTypeParameterDeclaration()

Description copied from interface: CtTypeReference

If this type reference is used as a type argument (see CtActualTypeContainer.getActualTypeArguments()), returns the type parameter declaration in the target type, returns null otherwise. In the following example, getTypeParameterDeclaration of "String" returns the type parameter definition "X".

 class Dog<X>{}
 Dog<String>var = ...;
 

In this other example, getTypeParameterDeclaration of T in Dog<T> returns the type parameter definition "X" (while CtTypeReference.getDeclaration() returns the "T" of Cat).

 class Dog<X>{}
 class Cat<T> {
 Dog<T> dog;
 }
 

Specified by:

getTypeParameterDeclaration in interface CtTypeReference<T>

isGenerics

public boolean isGenerics()

Description copied from interface: CtTypeInformation

Specified by:

isGenerics in interface CtTypeInformation

public boolean isParameterized()

Description copied from interface: CtTypeInformation

Returns true if it has any type parameter (generic or not).

Specified by:

getTypeErasure

public CtTypeReference<?> getTypeErasure()

Specified by:

getTypeErasure in interface CtTypeInformation

Returns:

the type erasure, which is computed by the java compiler to ensure that no new classes are created for parametrized types so that generics incur no runtime overhead. See https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/generics/erasure.html

isSimplyQualified

public boolean isSimplyQualified()

Specified by:

isSimplyQualified in interface CtTypeReference<T>

Returns:

false then fully qualified name is printed. true then type simple name is printed.

setSimplyQualified

public CtTypeReferenceImpl<T> setSimplyQualified(boolean isSimplyQualified)

public boolean isArray()

Specified by:
