Interface Assigner

All Known Implementing Classes:

PrimitiveTypeAwareAssigner, ReferenceTypeAwareAssigner, VoidAwareAssigner

public interface Assigner

An assigner is responsible for converting some type A to another type B if possible.

An assigner is for example responsible for type casting, auto boxing or unboxing or for the widening of primitive types.

Method Detail

assign

StackManipulation assign(TypeDescription sourceType,
                         TypeDescription targetType,
                         boolean considerRuntimeType)

Parameters:

sourceType - The original type that is to be transformed into the targetType.

targetType - The target type into which the sourceType is to be converted.

considerRuntimeType - A hint whether the assignment should consider the runtime type of the source type, i.e. if type down or cross castings are allowed.

Returns:

A stack manipulation that transforms the sourceType into the targetType if this is possible. An illegal stack manipulation otherwise.
