Class GenericSignatureParser

java.lang.Object

libcore.reflect.GenericSignatureParser

public final class GenericSignatureParser
extends Object

Implements a parser for the generics signature attribute. Uses a top-down, recursive descent parsing approach for the following grammar:

 ClassSignature ::=
     OptFormalTypeParams SuperclassSignature {SuperinterfaceSignature}.
 SuperclassSignature ::= ClassTypeSignature.
 SuperinterfaceSignature ::= ClassTypeSignature.

 OptFormalTypeParams ::=
     ["<" FormalTypeParameter {FormalTypeParameter} ">"].

 FormalTypeParameter ::= Ident ClassBound {InterfaceBound}.
 ClassBound ::= ":" [FieldTypeSignature].
 InterfaceBound ::= ":" FieldTypeSignature.

 FieldTypeSignature ::=
     ClassTypeSignature | ArrayTypeSignature | TypeVariableSignature.
 ArrayTypeSignature ::= "[" TypSignature.

 ClassTypeSignature ::=
     "L" {Ident "/"} Ident OptTypeArguments {"." Ident OptTypeArguments} ";".

 OptTypeArguments ::= "<" TypeArgument {TypeArgument} ">".

 TypeArgument ::= ([WildcardIndicator] FieldTypeSignature) | "*".
 WildcardIndicator ::= "+" | "-".

 TypeVariableSignature ::= "T" Ident ";".

 TypSignature ::= FieldTypeSignature | BaseType.
 BaseType ::= "B" | "C" | "D" | "F" | "I" | "J" | "S" | "Z".

 MethodTypeSignature ::=
     OptFormalTypeParams "(" {TypeSignature} ")" ReturnType {ThrowsSignature}.
 ThrowsSignature ::= ("^" ClassTypeSignature) | ("^" TypeVariableSignature).

 ReturnType ::= TypSignature | VoidDescriptor.
 VoidDescriptor ::= "V".

Method Detail

parseForClass

public void parseForClass(GenericDeclaration genericDecl,
                          String signature)

Parses the generic signature of a class and creates the data structure representing the signature.

Parameters:

genericDecl - the GenericDeclaration calling this method

signature - the generic signature of the class

parseForMethod

public void parseForMethod(GenericDeclaration genericDecl,
                           String signature,
                           Class<?>[] rawExceptionTypes)

Parses the generic signature of a method and creates the data structure representing the signature.

Parameters:

genericDecl - the GenericDeclaration calling this method

signature - the generic signature of the class

parseForConstructor

public void parseForConstructor(GenericDeclaration genericDecl,
                                String signature,
                                Class<?>[] rawExceptionTypes)

Parses the generic signature of a constructor and creates the data structure representing the signature.

Parameters:

genericDecl - the GenericDeclaration calling this method

signature - the generic signature of the class

parseForField

public void parseForField(GenericDeclaration genericDecl,
