public class TypeHelper
extends ObjectThis class contains helper methods for converting and comparing types. WARNING: This class is for internal use only. Do not use it outside of its package and not outside of groovy-core.
| Type Params | Return Type | Name and description |
|---|---|---|
|
protected static boolean |
argumentClassIsParameterClass(Class<?> argumentClass, Class<?> parameterClass)Realizes an unsharp equal for the class. |
|
protected static Class<?> |
getUnboxedType(Class<?> c)Returns the primitive type for a wrapper class when one exists. |
|
protected static Class<?> |
getWrapperClass(Class<?> c)Gets wrapper class for a given class. |
|
protected static boolean |
isBigDecCategory(Class<?> x)Checks whether the type belongs to Groovy's BigDecimal category. |
|
protected static boolean |
isDoubleCategory(Class<?> x)Checks whether the type belongs to Groovy's floating-point category. |
|
protected static boolean |
isIntCategory(Class<?> x)Checks whether the type belongs to Groovy's integral-int category. |
|
protected static boolean |
isLongCategory(Class<?> x)Checks whether the type belongs to Groovy's integral-long category. |
|
protected static MethodType |
replaceWithMoreSpecificType(Object[] args, MethodType callSiteType)Replaces the types in the callSiteType parameter if more specific types given through the arguments. |
Realizes an unsharp equal for the class. In general we return true if the provided arguments are the same. But we will also return true if our argument class is a wrapper for the parameter class. For example the parameter is an int and the argument class is a wrapper.
Returns the primitive type for a wrapper class when one exists.
c - the type to unboxGets wrapper class for a given class. If the class is for a primitive number type, then the wrapper class will be returned. If it is not a primitive number type, we return the class itself.
Checks whether the type belongs to Groovy's BigDecimal category.
x - the type to testtrue if the type is treated as a BigDecimal-like typeChecks whether the type belongs to Groovy's floating-point category.
x - the type to testtrue if the type is treated as a double-like typeChecks whether the type belongs to Groovy's integral-int category.
x - the type to testtrue if the type is treated as an int-like typeChecks whether the type belongs to Groovy's integral-long category.
x - the type to testtrue if the type is treated as a long-like typeReplaces the types in the callSiteType parameter if more specific types given through the arguments. This is in general the case, unless the argument is null.
