Class SignatureParser

java.lang.Object
  sun.reflect.generics.parser.SignatureParser

public class SignatureParser
extends Object

Parser for type signatures, as defined in the Java Virtual // Machine Specification (JVMS) chapter 4. Converts the signatures into an abstract syntax tree (AST) representation. // See the package sun.reflect.generics.tree for details of the AST.

Method Detail

make

public static SignatureParser make()

Static factory method. Produces a parser instance.

Returns:

an instance of SignatureParser

parseClassSig

public ClassSignature parseClassSig(String s)

Parses a class signature (as defined in the JVMS, chapter 4) and produces an abstract syntax tree representing it.

Parameters:

s - a string representing the input class signature

An abstract syntax tree for a class signature corresponding to the input string

Throws:

GenericSignatureFormatError - if the input is not a valid class signature

parseMethodSig

public MethodTypeSignature parseMethodSig(String s)

Parses a method signature (as defined in the JVMS, chapter 4) and produces an abstract syntax tree representing it.

Parameters:

s - a string representing the input method signature

Returns:

An abstract syntax tree for a method signature corresponding to the input string

Throws:

GenericSignatureFormatError - if the input is not a valid method signature

parseTypeSig

public TypeSignature parseTypeSig(String s)

Parses a type signature and produces an abstract syntax tree representing it.

Parameters:

s - a string representing the input type signature

Returns:

An abstract syntax tree for a type signature corresponding to the input string

Throws:

GenericSignatureFormatError - if the input is not a valid type signature
