    • enterCompilationScope

      public void enterCompilationScope()

    • exitCompilationScope

      public void exitCompilationScope()
      Exit a compilation scope, usually after a nested expression has been evaluated. For example after an argument for a method invocation has been evaluated this method returns us to the previous (outer) scope.

      @Nullable public String lastDescriptor()
      Return the descriptor for the item currently on top of the stack (in the current scope).
    • unboxBooleanIfNecessary

      public void unboxBooleanIfNecessary(MethodVisitor mv)
      If the codeflow shows the last expression evaluated to java.lang.Boolean then insert the necessary instructions to unbox that to a boolean primitive.
      Parameters:
      mv - the method visitor into which new instructions should be inserted
    • finish

      public void finish()
      Called after the main expression evaluation method has been generated, this method will call back any registered FieldAdders or ClinitAdders to add any extra information to the class representing the compiled expression.

      public void registerNewClinit(CodeFlow.ClinitAdder clinitAdder)
      Register a ClinitAdder which will add code to the static initializer in the generated class to support the code produced by an AST node's primary generateCode() method.

      Insert any necessary numeric conversion bytecodes based upon what is on the stack and the desired target type.
      Parameters:
      mv - the method visitor into which instructions should be placed
      targetDescriptor - the (primitive) descriptor of the target type
      stackDescriptor - the descriptor of the operand on top of the stack
    • findPublicDeclaringClass

      @Nullable public static Class<?> findPublicDeclaringClass(Method method)
      Find the first public class or interface in the method's class hierarchy that declares the supplied method.

      Sometimes the reflective method discovery logic finds a suitable method that can easily be called via reflection but cannot be called from generated code when compiling the expression because of visibility restrictions. For example, if a non-public class overrides toString(), this method will traverse up the type hierarchy to find the first public type that declares the method (if there is one). For toString(), it may traverse as far as Object.

      Parameters:
      method - the method to process
      Returns:
      the public class or interface that declares the method, or null if no such public type could be found
