IFeatureLinkingCandidate (org.eclipse.xtext.xbase 2.30.0.M3 API)

All Superinterfaces:

IApplicableCandidate, ILinkingCandidate

All Known Subinterfaces:

ITypeLiteralLinkingCandidate

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractImplicitFeature, AmbiguousFeatureLinkingCandidate, AppliedFeatureLinkingCandidate, FeatureLinkingCandidate, FollowUpError, ImplicitFirstArgument, ImplicitReceiver, NullFeatureLinkingCandidate, ResolvedFeature, ResolvedImplicitFirstArgument, ResolvedImplicitReceiver, ResolvedTypeLiteral, SuspiciouslyOverloadedCandidate, TypeLiteralLinkingCandidate, UnresolvableFeatureCall
```
public interface IFeatureLinkingCandidate
extends ILinkingCandidate
```
Exposes additional information about the linked feature if the to-be-linked instance is an XAbstractFeatureCall. A feature call can be linked to a static feature, it can be an extension, or a type literal.

Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`XAbstractFeatureCall`	`getFeatureCall()`	Returns the feature call that is linked.
`boolean`	`isExtension()`	Returns `true` if the linked feature is contributed by an extension.
`boolean`	`isStatic()`	Returns `true` if the linked feature is static.
`boolean`	`isTypeLiteral()`	Returns `true` if the feature call is linked as a type literal.

- Method Detail
  - getFeatureCall
```
XAbstractFeatureCall getFeatureCall()
```
    Returns the feature call that is linked.
    
    Returns:
    
    the feature call.
  - isStatic
```
boolean isStatic()
```
    Returns true if the linked feature is static.
    
    Returns:
    
    whether the feature is static.
  - isExtension
```
boolean isExtension()
```
    Returns true if the linked feature is contributed by an extension.
    
    Returns:
    
    whether the feature is extension.
  - isTypeLiteral
```
boolean isTypeLiteral()
```
    Returns true if the feature call is linked as a type literal.
    
    Returns:
    
    whether the feature call is a type literal rather than a real feature call.
