public interface TypeMirror extends AnnotatedConstruct
void.
Types should be compared using the utility methods in Types. There is no guarantee that any particular type will always
be represented by the same object.
To implement operations based on the class of an TypeMirror object, either use a visitor
or use the result of the getKind() method. Using instanceof is not necessarily a reliable idiom for
determining the effective class of an object in this modeling
hierarchy since an implementation may choose to have a single
object implement multiple TypeMirror subinterfaces.
| Modifier and Type | Method and Description |
|---|---|
<R,P> R |
accept(TypeVisitor<R,P> v,
P p)
Applies a visitor to this type.
|
boolean |
equals(Object obj)
Obeys the general contract of
Object.equals. |
TypeKind |
getKind()
Returns the
kind of this type. |
int |
hashCode()
Obeys the general contract of
Object.hashCode. |
String |
toString()
Returns an informative string representation of this type.

Object.equals.
This method does not, however, indicate whether two types represent
the same type.
Semantic comparisons of type equality should instead use
Types.isSameType(TypeMirror, TypeMirror).
The results of t1.equals(t2) and
Types.isSameType(t1, t2) may differ.equals in class Objectobj - the object to be compared with this typetrue if the specified object is equal to this oneObject.hashCode(),
