Class MethodInfo

java.lang.Object
io.github.classgraph.ClassMemberInfo
io.github.classgraph.MethodInfo
All Implemented Interfaces:
HasName, Comparable<MethodInfo>
public class MethodInfo extends ClassMemberInfo implements Comparable<MethodInfo>
Holds metadata about methods of a class encountered during a scan. All values are taken directly out of the classfile for the class.

  • Method Details

    • getName

      public String getName()
      Returns the name of the method. Note that constructors are named "<init>", and private static class initializer blocks are named "<clinit>".
      Specified by:
      getName in interface HasName
      Overrides:
      getName in class ClassMemberInfo
      Returns:
      The name of the method.

    • getModifiersStr

      public String getModifiersStr()
      Get the method modifiers as a String, e.g. "public static final". For the modifier bits, call ClassMemberInfo.getModifiers().
      Specified by:
      getModifiersStr in class ClassMemberInfo
      Returns:
      The modifiers for the method, as a String.

    • getTypeDescriptor

      public MethodTypeSignature getTypeDescriptor()
      Returns the parsed type descriptor for the method, which will not include type parameters. If you need generic type parameters, call getTypeSignature() instead.
      Specified by:
      getTypeDescriptor in class ClassMemberInfo
      Returns:
      The parsed type descriptor for the method.

    • getTypeSignature

      public MethodTypeSignature getTypeSignature()
      Returns the parsed type signature for the method, possibly including type parameters. If this returns null, indicating that no type signature information is available for this method, call getTypeDescriptor() instead.
      Specified by:
      getTypeSignature in class ClassMemberInfo
      Returns:
      The parsed type signature for the method, or null if not available.
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if the method type signature cannot be parsed (this should only be thrown in the case of classfile corruption, or a compiler bug that causes an invalid type signature to be written to the classfile).

    • getTypeSignatureOrTypeDescriptor

      public MethodTypeSignature getTypeSignatureOrTypeDescriptor()
      Returns the parsed type signature for the method, possibly including type parameters. If the type signature string is null, indicating that no type signature information is available for this method, returns the parsed type descriptor instead.
      Specified by:
      getTypeSignatureOrTypeDescriptor in class ClassMemberInfo
      Returns:
      The parsed type signature for the method, or if not available, the parsed type descriptor for the method.

    • getThrownExceptions

      The exceptions thrown by the method, as an array (the array may be empty).

    • isConstructor

      Returns:
      True if this method has a body.

    • getMinLineNum

      public int getMinLineNum()
      The line number of the first non-empty line in the body of this method, or 0 if unknown.
