Package io.determann.shadow.api.shadow

Interface Generic

All Superinterfaces:

Annotationable<TypeParameterElement>, ApiHolder, ElementBacked<TypeParameterElement>, MirrorBacked<TypeVariable>, Modifiable, Shadow<TypeVariable>

All Known Implementing Classes:

GenericImpl

public interface Generic
extends Shadow<TypeVariable>, Annotationable<TypeParameterElement>

represents the generic parameter at a class, method, constructor etc.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
boolean	equals(Object obj)	be careful using this equals
Shadow<TypeMirror>	erasure()	Information regarding generics is lost after the compilation.
Shadow<TypeMirror>	getEnclosing()	returns the class, method constructor etc. this is the generic for
Shadow<TypeMirror>	getExtends()
Package	getPackage()
Shadow<TypeMirror>	getSuper()	There is no way to explicitly declare super in a generic.

Method Details

getExtends

Shadow<TypeMirror> getExtends()

See Also:

• Intersection

getSuper

Shadow<TypeMirror> getSuper()

There is no way to explicitly declare super in a generic. Mostly relevant in the context of Class.interpolateGenerics()

getEnclosing

Shadow<TypeMirror> getEnclosing()

returns the class, method constructor etc. this is the generic for

getPackage

Package getPackage()

erasure

Shadow<TypeMirror> erasure()

Information regarding generics is lost after the compilation. For Example List<String> becomes List. This method Does the same. This can be useful if you want to check if a shadow implements for example Collection shadowToTest.erasure().isSubtypeOf(shadowApi.getDeclaredOrThrow("java.util.Collection").erasure())

for Generics this means for example T extends Number -> Number

equals

boolean equals(Object obj)

be careful using this equals

Specified by:

equals in interface Shadow<TypeVariable>

Overrides:

equals in class Object
