public class ArrayCreation

extends Expression

Array creation expression AST node type.

 ArrayCreation:
		new PrimitiveType [ Expression ] { [ Expression ] } { [ ] }
		new TypeName [ Expression ] { [ Expression ] } { [ ] }
		new PrimitiveType [ ] { [ ] } ArrayInitializer
 		new TypeName [ ] { [ ] } ArrayInitializer
 

The mapping from Java language syntax to AST nodes is as follows:

• the type node is the array type of the creation expression, with one level of array per set of square brackets,
• the dimension expressions are collected into the dimensions list.

Since:

2.0

Method Detail

getNodeType

public int getNodeType()

Description copied from class: ASTNode

Returns an integer value identifying the type of this concrete AST node. The values are small positive integers, suitable for use in switch statements.

For each concrete node type there is a unique node type constant (name and value). The unique node type constant for a concrete node type such as CastExpression is ASTNode.CAST_EXPRESSION.

Specified by:

getNodeType in class ASTNode

Returns:

one of the node type constants

subtreeMatch

public boolean subtreeMatch(ASTMatcher matcher,
                            Object other)

Description copied from class: ASTNode

Returns whether the subtree rooted at the given node matches the given other object as decided by the given matcher.

Specified by:

subtreeMatch in class ASTNode

Parameters:

matcher - the matcher

other - the other object, or null

Returns:

true if the subtree matches, or false if they do not match

getType

public ArrayType getType()

Returns the array type in this array creation expression.

Returns:

the array type

setType

public void setType(ArrayType type)

Sets the array type in this array creation expression.

Parameters:

type - the new array type

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if:

• the node belongs to a different AST
• the node already has a parent

dimensions

public List dimensions()

Returns the live ordered list of dimension expressions in this array initializer.

Returns:

the live list of dimension expressions (element type: Expression)

getInitializer

public ArrayInitializer getInitializer()

Returns the array initializer of this array creation expression, or null if there is none.

Returns:

the array initializer node, or null if there is none

setInitializer

public void setInitializer(ArrayInitializer initializer)

Sets or clears the array initializer of this array creation expression.

Parameters:

initializer - the array initializer node, or null if there is none

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if:

• the node belongs to a different AST
• the node already has a parent
• a cycle in would be created
