public class PrimitiveType
extends Type
extends Type

Primitive type nodes.

 PrimitiveType:
    byte
    short
    char
    int
    long
    float
    double
    boolean
    void

Note that due to the fact that AST nodes belong to a specific AST and have a specific parent, there needs to multiple instances of these nodes.

Since:: 2.0
Restriction:: This class is not intended to be instantiated by clients.

Field Detail

INT

public static final 
PrimitiveType.Code INT

Type code for the primitive type "int".

CHAR

public static final 
PrimitiveType.Code CHAR

Type code for the primitive type "char".

BOOLEAN

public static final 
PrimitiveType.Code BOOLEAN

Type code for the primitive type "boolean".

SHORT

public static final 
PrimitiveType.Code SHORT

Type code for the primitive type "short".

LONG

public static final 
PrimitiveType.Code LONG

Type code for the primitive type "long".

FLOAT

public static final 
PrimitiveType.Code FLOAT

Type code for the primitive type "float".

DOUBLE

public static final 
PrimitiveType.Code DOUBLE

Type code for the primitive type "double".

BYTE

public static final 
PrimitiveType.Code BYTE

Type code for the primitive type "byte".

VOID

public static final 
PrimitiveType.Code VOID

Type code for the primitive type "void". Note that "void" is special in that its only legitimate uses are as a method return type and as a type literal.

PRIMITIVE_TYPE_CODE_PROPERTY

public static final 
SimplePropertyDescriptor PRIMITIVE_TYPE_CODE_PROPERTY

The "primitiveTypeCode" structural property of this node type.

Since:: 3.0

Method Detail

toCode

public static 
PrimitiveType.Code toCode(
String token)

Returns the primitive type code corresponding to the given string, or null if none.

toCode is the converse of toString: that is, PrimitiveType.Code.toCode(code.toString()) == code for all type code code.

Parameters:: token - the standard name of the primitive type
Returns:: the primitive type code, or null if none

propertyDescriptors

public static 
List propertyDescriptors(int apiLevel)

Returns a list of structural property descriptors for this node type. Clients must not modify the result.

Parameters:: apiLevel - the API level; one of the AST.JLS* constants
Returns:: a list of property descriptors (element type: StructuralPropertyDescriptor)
Since:: 3.0

getPrimitiveTypeCode

public 
PrimitiveType.Code getPrimitiveTypeCode()

Returns the primitive type code.

Returns:: one of the primitive type code constants declared in this class

setPrimitiveTypeCode

public void setPrimitiveTypeCode(
PrimitiveType.Code typeCode)

Sets the primitive type code.

Parameters:: typeCode - one of the primitive type code constants declared in this class
Throws:: IllegalArgumentException - if the argument is incorrect
