Interface ModuleElement.DirectiveVisitor<R,​P>

Type Parameters:
R - the return type of this visitor's methods. Use Void for visitors that do not need to return results.
P - the type of the additional parameter to this visitor's methods. Use Void for visitors that do not need an additional parameter.
Enclosing interface:
ModuleElement
public static interface ModuleElement.DirectiveVisitor<R,P>

A visitor of module directives, in the style of the visitor design pattern. Classes implementing this interface are used to operate on a directive when the kind of directive is unknown at compile time. When a visitor is passed to a directive's accept method, the visitXyz method applicable to that directive is invoked.

Classes implementing this interface may or may not throw a NullPointerException if the additional parameter p is null; see documentation of the implementing class for details.

WARNING: It is possible that methods will be added to this interface to accommodate new, currently unknown, language structures added to future versions of the Java™ programming language. Methods to accommodate new language constructs will be added in a source compatible way using default methods.

Methods

visit

default R visit(ModuleElement.Directive d)

Visits any directive as if by passing itself to that directive's accept method and passing null for the additional parameter.

Implementation Requirements:
The default implementation is d.accept(v, null).
Parameters:
d - the directive to visit
Returns:
a visitor-specified result

visit

default R visit(ModuleElement.Directive d,
                P p)

Visits any directive as if by passing itself to that directive's accept method.

Implementation Requirements:
The default implementation is d.accept(v, p).
Parameters:
d - the directive to visit
p - a visitor-specified parameter
Returns:
a visitor-specified result

visitRequires

R visitRequires(ModuleElement.RequiresDirective d,
                P p)

Visits a requires directive.

Parameters:
d - the directive to visit
p - a visitor-specified parameter
Returns:
a visitor-specified result

visitExports

R visitExports(ModuleElement.ExportsDirective d,
               P p)

Visits an exports directive.

Parameters:
d - the directive to visit
p - a visitor-specified parameter
Returns:
a visitor-specified result

visitOpens

R visitOpens(ModuleElement.OpensDirective d,
             P p)

Visits an opens directive.

Parameters:
d - the directive to visit
p - a visitor-specified parameter
Returns:
a visitor-specified result

visitUses

R visitUses(ModuleElement.UsesDirective d,
            P p)

Visits a uses directive.

Parameters:
d - the directive to visit
p - a visitor-specified parameter
Returns:
a visitor-specified result

visitProvides

R visitProvides(ModuleElement.ProvidesDirective d,
                P p)

Visits a provides directive.

Parameters:
d - the directive to visit
p - a visitor-specified parameter
Returns:
a visitor-specified result

visitUnknown

default R visitUnknown(ModuleElement.Directive d,
                       P p)

Visits an unknown directive. This can occur if the language evolves and new kinds of directive are added.

Implementation Requirements:
The default implementation throws new UnknownDirectiveException(d, p).
Parameters:
d - the directive to visit
p - a visitor-specified parameter
Returns:
a visitor-specified result
Throws:
UnknownDirectiveException - a visitor implementation may optionally throw this exception
