public class PrimitiveType
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

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
