CompareIdentityExpression (Groovy 6.0.0-alpha-2)

org.codehaus.groovy.transform.sc.transformers.CompareIdentityExpression

```
public class CompareIdentityExpression
extends BinaryExpression
```
Compares two objects using identity comparison. This expression will generate bytecode using the IF_ACMPNE instruction, instead of using the "equals" method that is currently mapped to "==" in Groovy. This expression should only be used to compare to objects, not primitives, and only in the context of reference equality check.

Constructor and description
`CompareIdentityExpression(Expression leftExpression, boolean eq, Expression rightExpression)` Creates an identity comparison between two expressions.
`CompareIdentityExpression(Expression leftExpression, Expression rightExpression)` Creates an identity-equality comparison between two expressions.

Type Params	Return Type	Name and description
	`public boolean`	`isEq()` Indicates whether this expression checks identity equality rather than inequality.
	`public void`	`setType(ClassNode type)` Prevents changing the fixed boolean result type of this expression.
	`public Expression`	`transformExpression(ExpressionTransformer transformer)` Transforms both operands while preserving identity-comparison semantics.
	`public void`	`visit(GroovyCodeVisitor visitor)` Emits direct reference-comparison bytecode for this expression.

- Constructor Detail
  - public CompareIdentityExpression(Expression leftExpression, boolean eq, Expression rightExpression)
    
    Creates an identity comparison between two expressions.
    Parameters:
    leftExpression - the left operand
    eq - true for ===; false for !==
    rightExpression - the right operand
  - public CompareIdentityExpression(Expression leftExpression, Expression rightExpression)
    
    Creates an identity-equality comparison between two expressions.
    Parameters:
    leftExpression - the left operand
    rightExpression - the right operand
- Method Detail
  - public boolean isEq()
    
    Indicates whether this expression checks identity equality rather than inequality.
    Returns:
    true for ===; false for !==
  - public void setType(ClassNode type)
    
    Prevents changing the fixed boolean result type of this expression.
    throws:
    UnsupportedOperationException always
    
    Parameters:
    type - ignored
  - public Expression transformExpression(ExpressionTransformer transformer)
    
    Transforms both operands while preserving identity-comparison semantics.
    Parameters:
    transformer - the expression transformer to apply
    Returns:
    a transformed identity-comparison expression
  - public void visit(GroovyCodeVisitor visitor)
    
    Emits direct reference-comparison bytecode for this expression.
    Parameters:
    visitor - the visitor to accept
