  soot.Type
      soot.RefLikeType
          soot.ArrayType

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Numberable, Switchable

public class ArrayType
extends RefLikeType

A class that models Java's array types. ArrayTypes are parametrized by a Type and and an integer representing the array's dimension count.. Two ArrayType are 'equal' if they are parametrized equally.

Field Summary

Type	baseType baseType can be any type except for an array type, null and void What is the base type of the array? That is, for an array of type A[][][], how do I find out what the A is? The accepted way of doing this has always been to look at the public field baseType in ArrayType, ever since the very beginning of Soot.
int	numDimensions dimension count for the array type

Method Summary

void	apply(Switch sw) Method required for use of Switchable.
boolean	equals(Object t) Two ArrayType are 'equal' if they are parametrized identically.
Type	getArrayElementType() If I have a variable x of declared type t, what is a good declared type for the expression ((Object[]) x)[i]? The getArrayElementType() method in RefLikeType was introduced to answer this question for all classes implementing RefLikeType.
Type	getElementType() If I get an element of the array, what will be its type? That is, if I have an array a of type A[][][], what is the type of a[] (it's A[][])? The getElementType() method in ArrayType was introduced to answer this question.
int	hashCode()
ArrayType	makeArrayType()
String	toString() Returns a textual representation of this type.
void	toString(UnitPrinter up)
static ArrayType	v(Type baseType, int numDimensions) Creates an ArrayType parametrized by a given Type and dimension count.

Field Detail

baseType

public final Type baseType

baseType can be any type except for an array type, null and void What is the base type of the array? That is, for an array of type A[][][], how do I find out what the A is? The accepted way of doing this has always been to look at the public field baseType in ArrayType, ever since the very beginning of Soot.

numDimensions

public final int numDimensions

dimension count for the array type

Method Detail

v

public static ArrayType v(Type baseType,
                          int numDimensions)

Creates an ArrayType parametrized by a given Type and dimension count.

Parameters:

baseType - a Type to parametrize the ArrayType

numDimensions - the dimension count to parametrize the ArrayType.

Returns:

an ArrayType parametrized accrodingly.

equals

public boolean equals(Object t)

Two ArrayType are 'equal' if they are parametrized identically. (ie have same Type and dimension count.

Overrides:

equals in class Object

Parameters:

t - object to test for equality

Returns:

true if t is an ArrayType and is parametrized identically to this.

toString

public void toString(UnitPrinter up)

toString

public String toString()

Description copied from class: Type

Returns a textual representation of this type.

Specified by:

toString in class Type

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

apply

public void apply(Switch sw)

Description copied from class: Type

Method required for use of Switchable.

Specified by:

apply in interface Switchable

Overrides:

apply in class Type

getArrayElementType

public Type getArrayElementType()

If I have a variable x of declared type t, what is a good declared type for the expression ((Object[]) x)[i]? The getArrayElementType() method in RefLikeType was introduced to answer this question for all classes implementing RefLikeType. If t is an array, then the answer is the same as getElementType(). But t could also be Object, Serializable, or Cloneable, which can all hold any array, so then the answer is Object.

Specified by:

getArrayElementType in class RefLikeType

getElementType

public Type getElementType()

If I get an element of the array, what will be its type? That is, if I have an array a of type A[][][], what is the type of a[] (it's A[][])? The getElementType() method in ArrayType was introduced to answer this question.

makeArrayType

public ArrayType makeArrayType()

Overrides:

makeArrayType in class Type
