Class TextBodyMethodGenerator

java.lang.Object

org.ek9lang.compiler.phase7.generator.TextBodyMethodGenerator

public final class TextBodyMethodGenerator
extends Object

Generates IR for text body methods with implicit String return.

Text body methods are unique in EK9 - they have an implicit String return type where the stringLit IS the return value. Unlike regular methods which declare <- rtn as String: value, text body methods have:

  greeting()
    -> name as String
    `Hello ${name}!`

The stringLit can be either:

• Quoted string "Hello" - simple constant
• Backtick string `Hello ${name}!` - potentially with interpolation
