Method Detail

getNodeType

public int getNodeType()

Description copied from class: ASTNode

Returns an integer value identifying the type of this concrete AST node. The values are small positive integers, suitable for use in switch statements.

For each concrete node type there is a unique node type constant (name and value). The unique node type constant for a concrete node type such as CastExpression is ASTNode.CAST_EXPRESSION.

Specified by:

getNodeType in class ASTNode

Returns:

one of the node type constants

subtreeMatch

public boolean subtreeMatch(ASTMatcher matcher,
                            Object other)

Description copied from class: ASTNode

Returns whether the subtree rooted at the given node matches the given other object as decided by the given matcher.

Specified by:

subtreeMatch in class ASTNode

Parameters:

matcher - the matcher

other - the other object, or null

Returns:

true if the subtree matches, or false if they do not match

getExpression

public Expression getExpression()

Returns the expression of this class instance creation expression, or null if there is none.

Returns:

the expression node, or null if there is none

setExpression

public void setExpression(Expression expression)

Sets or clears the expression of this class instance creation expression.

Parameters:

expression - the expression node, or null if there is none

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if:

• the node belongs to a different AST
• the node already has a parent
• a cycle in would be created

getName

public Name getName()

Returns the name of the type instantiated in this class instance creation expression.

Returns:

the type name node

setName

public void setName(Name name)

Sets the name of the type instantiated in this class instance creation expression.

Parameters:

name - the new type name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if:

• the node belongs to a different AST
• the node already has a parent
`

arguments

public List arguments()

Returns the live ordered list of argument expressions in this class instance creation expression.

Returns:

the live list of argument expressions (possibly empty) (element type: Expression)

getAnonymousClassDeclaration

public AnonymousClassDeclaration getAnonymousClassDeclaration()

Returns the anonymous class declaration introduced by this class instance creation expression, if it has one.

Returns:

the anonymous class declaration, or null if none

setAnonymousClassDeclaration

public void setAnonymousClassDeclaration(AnonymousClassDeclaration decl)

Sets whether this class instance creation expression declares an anonymous class (that is, has class body declarations).

Parameters:

decl - the anonymous class declaration, or null if none

resolveConstructorBinding

public IMethodBinding resolveConstructorBinding()

Resolves and returns the binding for the constructor invoked by this expression. For anonymous classes, the binding is that of the anonymous constructor.

Note that bindings are generally unavailable unless requested when the AST is being built.

Returns:

the constructor binding, or null if the binding cannot be resolved
