Class PrimitiveClassImpl

    • Method Detail

      • mapNameToPrimitive

        public static void mapNameToPrimitive​(ElementContext ctx,
                                              java.util.Map out)
      • getPrimitiveClassForName

        public static java.lang.String getPrimitiveClassForName​(java.lang.String named)
        Returns the field descriptor for an named primitive, e.g. 'I' for 'int', or null if the parameter does not name a primitive.
      • isPrimitive

        public static boolean isPrimitive​(java.lang.String name)
        Returns true if the named type is a primitive. The parameter can be a simple type name (e.g. 'int') or a field descriptor (e.g. 'I').
      • getFieldDescriptor

        public static final java.lang.String getFieldDescriptor​(java.lang.String classname)
        Returns the field descriptor for the given name, e.g. 'int' returns 'I'.
      • getPrimitiveClass

        public static final java.lang.Class getPrimitiveClass​(java.lang.String classname)
        Returns the primitve class for the given name, e.g. 'int' returns int.class. It's really stupid that there isn't a way to deal with this built in to java.
      • getQualifiedName

        public java.lang.String getQualifiedName()
        Description copied from interface: JElement

        Returns a qualified name for this abstraction. The exact format of this name depends on the particular abstraction. Please refer to the documentation for each JElement subclass for a detailed description of the qualified name formats.

        Specified by:
        getQualifiedName in interface JElement
        Overrides:
        getQualifiedName in class BuiltinClassImpl
      • getFieldDescriptor

        public java.lang.String getFieldDescriptor()
        Description copied from interface: JClass

        Returns the name of this member in the format described in section 4.3.2 of the VM spec, 'Field Descriptors.' This is the same nasty format returned by java.lang.Class.getName(), and is the format you need to use in calls to Class.forName(). For example, the ClassfileName of the class of a two-dimensional array of strings is [[Ljava.lang.String;. For details, see http://java.sun.com/docs/books/vmspec/2nd-edition/html/ClassFile.doc.html

      • isAssignableFrom

        public boolean isAssignableFrom​(JClass c)
        Description copied from interface: JClass

        Determines if the class or interface represented by this Class object is either the same as, or is a superclass or superinterface of, the class or interface represented by the specified Class parameter. It returns true if so; otherwise it returns false. If this Class object represents a primitive type, this method returns true if the specified Class parameter is exactly this Class object; otherwise it returns false.

        Specifically, this method tests whether the type represented by the specified Class parameter can be converted to the type represented by this Class object via an identity conversion or via a widening reference conversion. See The Java Language Specification, sections 5.1.1 and 5.1.4 , for details.

      • isPrimitiveType

        public boolean isPrimitiveType()
        Description copied from interface: JClass
        Return true if this JClass represents primitive type (int, long, double, and so forth). Remember that primitive wrapper classes such as java.lang.Integer are NOT considered primitives.
        Specified by:
        isPrimitiveType in interface JClass
        Overrides:
        isPrimitiveType in class BuiltinClassImpl
      • getPrimitiveClass

        public java.lang.Class getPrimitiveClass()
        Description copied from interface: JClass

        If this JClass represents a primitive (isPrimitiveType() returns true), this method returns the java.lang.Class representing the class of the primitive. For example, JClass representing an integer returns the equivalent of 'int.class' or 'java.lang.Integer.type.'

        Specified by:
        getPrimitiveClass in interface JClass
        Overrides:
        getPrimitiveClass in class BuiltinClassImpl
        Returns:
        The primitive class, or null if this is JClass is not primitive.
