java.lang.Object

com.github.javaparser.symbolsolver.model.typesystem.TypeVariable

All Implemented Interfaces:

Type

public class TypeVariable
extends java.lang.Object
implements Type

From JLS 4.4: A type variable is introduced by the declaration of a type parameter of a generic class, interface, method, or constructor (§8.1.2, §9.1.2, §8.4.4, §8.8.4).

Method Detail

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object o)

Overrides:

equals in class java.lang.Object

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

isArray

public boolean isArray()

Description copied from interface: Type

Does this type represent an array?

Specified by:

isArray in interface Type

isPrimitive

public boolean isPrimitive()

Description copied from interface: Type

Is this a primitive type?

Specified by:

isPrimitive in interface Type

replaceTypeVariables

public Type replaceTypeVariables(TypeParameterDeclaration tpToBeReplaced,
                                 Type replaced,
                                 java.util.Map<TypeParameterDeclaration,Type> inferredTypes)

Description copied from interface: Type

Replace all variables referring to the given TypeParameter with the given value. By replacing these values I could also infer some type equivalence. Those would be collected in the given map.
