Enum NameCategory

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, Comparable<NameCategory>

    public enum NameCategory
    extends Enum<NameCategory>
    Context causes a name syntactically to fall into one of seven categories: ModuleName, PackageName, TypeName, ExpressionName, MethodName, PackageOrTypeName, or AmbiguousName. TypeName is less expressive than the other six categories, because it is denoted with TypeIdentifier, which excludes the character sequence var (ยง3.8). See JLS 6.5 (https://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jls/se10/html/jls-6.html#jls-6.5)

    • Method Detail

      • values

        public static NameCategory[] values()
        Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:
        for (NameCategory c : NameCategory.values())
            System.out.println(c);
        
        Returns:
        an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
      • valueOf

        public static NameCategory valueOf​(String name)
        Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
        Parameters:
        name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
        Returns:
        the enum constant with the specified name
        Throws:
        IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
        NullPointerException - if the argument is null
      • isNeedingDisambiguation

        public boolean isNeedingDisambiguation()
        Certain category include two or more unambiguous categories. These ambiguous categories are recognized solely through a syntactic process. In order to disambiguate them a semantic process (i.e., consider the symbols which are actually visible in a given context) is needed.
      • isNameAcceptable

        public boolean isNameAcceptable​(String name)
        Is the given name acceptable for the given category?
      • isValid

        public boolean isValid()
