public class ExpressionChecker
extends Object

This tree visitor checks the typing rules for expressions and determines each expression's type. The following properties (from NodeProperties) are set:

• TYPE on all Expressions and on FormalParameters
• CONVERTED_TYPE on any CastExpression subexpressions that require runtime conversion
• CHECKED_TYPE on any CastExpression subexpressions, FieldAccesses, or MethodCalls that require runtime checking
• ERASED_TYPE on all ArrayAllocations, and ArrayInitializers, and the nested type of TypeExpressions and InstanceofExpressions
• LEFT_EXPRESSION on assignments, increments, and decrements that access the left expression in order to evaluate the right expression
• VARIABLE_TYPE on all lvalue expressions
• SUPER_TYPE on all AnonymousInnerAllocations
• VALUE on all constant expressions
• DJCLASS on AnonymousAllocations, AnonymousInnerAllocations, ThisExpressions, SuperMethodCalls, SuperFieldAccesses, and non-static SimpleMethodCalls and SimpleFieldAccesses.
• CONSTRUCTOR on ConstructorCalls and all allocations: SimpleAllocations, InnerAllocations, AnonymousAllocations, and AnonymousInnerAllocations
• ENCLOSING_THIS on SimpleAllocations and AnonymousAllocationss that represent inner allocations with a "this" value of the given class as the enclosing object
• FIELD on all FieldAccesses
• METHOD on all MethodCalls
• VARIABLE on all VariableAccesses, VariableDeclarations, and FormalParameters
• OPERATION on all AddExpressions, AddAssignExpressions, EqualExpressions, and NotEqualExpressions

public Iterable<Type> checkList(Iterable<? extends Expression> l,
                                Option<Type> expected)

checkConstructorCall

public void checkConstructorCall(ConstructorCall node)

Handle a valid constructor call: one that appears as the first line of a constructor. ConstructorCalls handled via check(Expression) will always be treated as errors.

checkEnumSwitchCase

public DJField checkEnumSwitchCase(Expression exp,
                                   Type enumT)

Check an expression appearing as the switch case in an enum switch statement.

Returns:

The field corresponding to the enum constant's value.
