[Java] Class ExpressionUtils

public final class ExpressionUtils
extends Object

Method Detail

public static boolean isNullConstant(Expression expr)

public static boolean isNumberOrArrayOfNumber(ClassNode targetType, boolean recurse)

Determine if a type is derived from Number (or array thereof).

Parameters:

targetType - the candidate type

recurse - true if we can have multi-dimension arrays; should be false for annotation member types

Returns:

true if the type equals the targetType or array thereof

public static boolean isSuperExpression(Expression expression)

public static boolean isThisExpression(Expression expression)

public static boolean isThisOrSuper(Expression expression)

public static boolean isTypeOrArrayOfType(ClassNode targetType, ClassNode type, boolean recurse)

Determine if a type matches another type (or array thereof).

Parameters:

targetType - the candidate type

type - the type we are checking against

recurse - true if we can have multi-dimension arrays; should be false for annotation member types

Returns:

true if the type equals the targetType or array thereof

public static ConstantExpression transformBinaryConstantExpression(BinaryExpression be, ClassNode targetType)

Turns expressions of the form ConstantExpression(40) + ConstantExpression(2) into the simplified ConstantExpression(42) at compile time.

Parameters:

be - the binary expression

targetType - the type of the result

Returns:

the transformed expression or the original if no transformation was performed

public static Expression transformInlineConstants(Expression exp, ClassNode attrType)

Converts simple expressions of constants into pre-evaluated simple constants. Handles:

• Property expressions - referencing constants
• Simple binary expressions - String concatenation and numeric +, -, /, *
• List expressions - list of constants
• Variable expressions - referencing constants

Parameters:

exp - the original expression

attrType - the type that the final constant should be

Returns:

the transformed type or the original if no transformation was possible

public static Expression transformInlineConstants(Expression exp)

The attribute values of annotations must be primitive, String or Enum constants. In various places, such constants can be seen during type resolution but won't be readily accessible in later phases, e.g. they might be embedded into constructor code. This method transforms constants that would appear in annotations early so they aren't lost. Subsequent processing determines whether they are valid, this method simply retains the constant value as a constant expression.

Parameters:

exp - the original expression

Returns:

the converted expression

public static Expression transformListOfConstants(ListExpression origList, ClassNode attrType)

Given a list of constants, transform each item in the list.

Parameters:

origList - the list to transform

attrType - the target type

Returns:

the transformed list or the original if nothing was changed
