Returns the sequence of instructions that adapts values of this type to values
of the target type.
Returns the sequence of instructions that adapts values of this type to values
of the target type.
This method supports the following kind of adaptations:
Each reference type is associated with a unique id.
Each reference type is associated with a unique id. Object types get ids >= 0 and array types get ids < 0.
Returns the binary name of this type as used by the Java runtime.
Returns the binary name of this type as used by the Java runtime. Basically
returns the same name as produced by Class.getName.
Returns the representation of this type as used by the JVM in, for example, method descriptors or signatures.
Returns the representation of this type as used by the JVM in, for example, method descriptors or signatures.
A String representation of this type as it would be used in Java source code.
A String representation of this type as it would be used in Java source code.
Returns the Java class object representing this type.
Returns the Java class object representing this type.
This is generally only useful in very special cases and – to be meaningful at all – it is necessary that the class path used for running the static analysis also contains the classes that are analyzed. This is (often) only the case for the JDK.
However, one example where this is useful is the creation of a real object of
a specific type and to use that object when a method is called on that object.
This avoids the reimplementation of the respective logic as part of the analysis.
For example, if you want to get the String that is created by a specific
StringBuffer it is possible to implement the API of StringBuffer as part of
your analysis or (probably more efficient) to just create an instance of a
StringBuffer object and to redirect every call to the real object. In this case
only some general logic is required to redirect calls and to convert the values
between the representation used by the analysis and the representation required
by the called method.
Compares this type with the given type.
Compares this type with the given type.
Comparison of types is implemented by comparing the associated ids. I.e., the result of the comparison of two types is not stable across multiple runs of OPAL.
The computational type of values of this type.

In general, we can distinguish the following three categories of types:
Returns true if this type is the primitive type short.
Returns true if this type is the primitive type short.
Returns true if this type represents void; false otherwise.
Returns true if this type represents void; false otherwise.
