        field information, or null if field not found
      • getField

      • getBestMethod

        IClassItem getBestMethod​(java.lang.String name,
                                 java.lang.String type,
                                 java.lang.String[] args)
        Get information for best matching method. This tries to find a method which matches the specified name, return type, and argument types. If an exact match is not found it looks for a method with a return type that is extended or implemented by the specified type and arguments that are extended or implemented by the specified types. If no match is found for this class superclasses are checked. TODO: make this work with both static and member methods
        Parameters:
        name - method name
        type - return value type name (null if indeterminant)
        args - argument value type names (null if indeterminant)
        Returns:
        method information, or null if method not found
      • getMethod

        IClassItem getMethod​(java.lang.String name,
                             java.lang.String sig)
        Get information for method without respect to potential trailing arguments or return value. If the method is not found directly, superclasses are checked for inherited methods matching the supplied name. This compares the supplied partial signature against the actual method signature, and considers it a match if the actual sigature starts with the supplied signature. TODO: make this work with both static and member methods
        Parameters:
        name - method name
        sig - partial method signature to be matched
        Returns:
        method information, or null if method not found
      • getMethod

        IClassItem getMethod​(java.lang.String name,
                             java.lang.String[] sigs)
        Get information for method matching one of several possible signatures. If a match is not found directly, superclasses are checked for inherited methods matching the supplied name and signatures. The signature variations are checked in the order supplied. TODO: make this work with both static and member methods
        Parameters:
        name - method name
        sigs - possible signatures for method (including return type)
        Returns:
        method information, or null if method not found
      • getInitializerMethod
