public class SwitchCase

extends Statement

Switch case AST node type. A switch case is a special kind of node used only in switch statements. It is a Statement in name only.

 SwitchCase:
		case Expression  :
		default :
 

Since:

2.0

Method Summary

Expression	getExpression() Returns the expression of this switch case, or null if there is none (the "default:" case).
int	getNodeType() Returns an integer value identifying the type of this concrete AST node.
boolean	isDefault() Returns whether this switch case represents the "default:" case.
void	setExpression(Expression expression) Sets the expression of this switch case, or clears it (turns it into the "default:" case).
boolean	subtreeMatch(ASTMatcher matcher, Object other) Returns whether the subtree rooted at the given node matches the given other object as decided by the given matcher.

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 switch case, or null if there is none (the "default:" case).

Returns:

the expression node, or null if there is none

setExpression

public void setExpression(Expression expression)

Sets the expression of this switch case, or clears it (turns it into the "default:" case).

Parameters:

expression - the expression node, or null to turn it into the "default:" case

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if:

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

isDefault

public boolean isDefault()

Returns whether this switch case represents the "default:" case.

This convenience method is equivalent to getExpression() == null.

Returns:

true if this is the default switch case, and false if this is a non-default switch case
