Method Detail

coerceValue

public final Object coerceValue(IType typeToCoerceTo,
                                Object value)

Specified by:

coerceValue in interface ICoercer

handlesNull

public boolean handlesNull()

Specified by:

handlesNull in interface ICoercer

Overrides:

handlesNull in class StandardCoercer

Returns:

true if this coercer knows how to handle the null value.

resolveType

public IType resolveType(IType target,
                         IType source)

Description copied from interface: IResolvingCoercer

This method should produce a more appropriately parameterized type for the given target type for this coercion. This allows a coercion to communicate type information through the coercion process. An example is the MetaType-to-Class coercion. MetaType should be interpreted as Class from a type inference perspective, so this give the coercer a chance to let the compiler know so.

If no more appropriate inference type exists, this method should return the source type.

Specified by:

resolveType in interface IResolvingCoercer

Parameters:

target - type

Returns:

a possibly more appropriately parameterized type or the source type if not

getPriority

public int getPriority(IType to,
                       IType from)

Specified by:

getPriority in interface ICoercer

Overrides:

getPriority in class StandardCoercer

Returns:

a value between 0 and MAX_PRIORITY, inclusive that indicates the priority of this coercer when resolving overloaded methods. Typically a coercer should return 0, but coercers that have a high affinity between the target and coerced type, such as primitives, can have higher priorities.

getPriorityOf

public static int getPriorityOf(IType to,
                                IType from)

losesInformation

public static int losesInformation(IType from,
                                   IType to)
