public class SwitchStatement

extends Statement

Switch statement AST node type.

 SwitchStatement:
		switch ( Expression ) 
 			{ { SwitchCase | Statement } } }
 SwitchCase:
		case Expression  :
		default :
 

SwitchCase nodes are treated as a kind of Statement.

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 statement.

Returns:

the expression node

setExpression

public void setExpression(Expression expression)

Sets the expression of this switch statement.

Parameters:

expression - the new expression node

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if:

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

statements

public List statements()

Returns the live ordered list of statements for this switch statement. Within this list, SwitchCase nodes mark the start of the switch groups.

Returns:

the live list of switch group nodes (element type: SwitchGroups)
