public class FunctionSymbol
extends PossibleGenericSymbol
implements IFunctionSymbol, Serializable

Scope for functions that are part of a module. While in ek9 these are just functions, when mapped to java we can implement in any way we like i.e. classes. We need to ensure that any functions we extend have the same method signature.

Constructor Details

FunctionSymbol

public FunctionSymbol(String name,
 IScope enclosingScope)

Create a new Function Symbol with a specific unique name (in the enclosing scope).

FunctionSymbol

public FunctionSymbol(String name,
 IScope enclosingScope,
 List<AggregateSymbol> typeParameterOrArguments)

A function that can be parameterised, i.e. like a 'List of T'. So the name would be 'List' and the parameterTypes would be a single aggregate of a conceptual T.

Method Details

clone

public FunctionSymbol clone(IScope withParentAsAppropriate)

Description copied from interface: ISymbol

Clone the symbol and re-parent if this symbol like a method should have a parent. Other symbols like VariableSymbols are un-parented

Specified by:

clone in interface IScope

Specified by:

clone in interface IScopedSymbol

Specified by:

clone in interface ISymbol

Overrides:

clone in class PossibleGenericSymbol

cloneIntoFunctionSymbol

protected FunctionSymbol cloneIntoFunctionSymbol(FunctionSymbol newCopy)

getCallParameters

public List<ISymbol> getCallParameters()

Added convenience method to make the parameters a bit more obvious.

Specified by:

getCallParameters in interface IFunctionSymbol

isImplementingInSomeWay

public boolean isImplementingInSomeWay(IFunctionSymbol function)

Does this function directly implement or through its hierarchy implement the function passed in.

Specified by:

isImplementingInSomeWay in interface IFunctionSymbol

getAnySuperTypeOrFunction

public Optional<IScope> getAnySuperTypeOrFunction()

Overrides:

getAnySuperTypeOrFunction in class ScopedSymbol

isSignatureMatchTo

public boolean isSignatureMatchTo(Optional<ISymbol> theirReturnType,
 List<ISymbol> theirParams)

Check if the parameter types and return types match.

getSuperFunction

public Optional<IFunctionSymbol> getSuperFunction()

Specified by:

getSuperFunction in interface IFunctionSymbol

setSuperFunction

public void setSuperFunction(Optional<IFunctionSymbol> superFunctionSymbol)

setSuperFunction

public void setSuperFunction(IFunctionSymbol superFunctionSymbol)

isReturningSymbolPresent

public boolean isReturningSymbolPresent()

Some functions have a named return symbol 'like rtn as String' for example. In other cases a function will not return anything (We use 'Void') in the case as the 'type'. So when a Returning Symbol is set we use the type of the returning variable as the type return on the function.

Specified by:

isReturningSymbolPresent in interface IMayReturnSymbol

getReturningSymbol

public VariableSymbol getReturningSymbol()

Provide a symbol that is returned from this function. Note in EK9 this is not just a type but actually a variable symbol (that has a type).

Specified by:

getReturningSymbol in interface IMayReturnSymbol

setReturningSymbol

public void setReturningSymbol(VariableSymbol returningSymbol)

Specified by:

setReturningSymbol in interface IMayReturnSymbol

justSetReturningSymbol

protected void justSetReturningSymbol(VariableSymbol returningSymbol)

getAssignableCostTo

public double getAssignableCostTo(ISymbol s)

Specified by:

getAssignableCostTo in interface ISymbol

Overrides:

getAssignableCostTo in class Symbol

getUnCoercedAssignableCostTo

public double getUnCoercedAssignableCostTo(ISymbol s)

Specified by:

getUnCoercedAssignableCostTo in interface ISymbol

Overrides:

getUnCoercedAssignableCostTo in class Symbol

getFriendlyScopeName

public String getFriendlyScopeName()

Description copied from interface: IScope

Useful for printing out errors and information. The scope name might be a complex generated name used internally a bit like symbol names are. So some items are both scopes and symbols - so ideally we'd want to use a friendly name where possible.

Specified by:

getFriendlyScopeName in interface IScope

Overrides:

getFriendlyScopeName in class ScopedSymbol

Returns:

The friendly name to be used for the developer.

getFriendlyName

public String getFriendlyName()

Description copied from interface: ISymbol

Provide the name an end user would need to see on the screen. Normally this is just 'getName' but in the case of Templates We use a very nasty internal naming for List of SomeClass - which will probably be something like _List_hashed_version_of_ComeClass and the end user needs to see 'List of SomeClass' for it to be meaningful.

Specified by:

getFriendlyName in interface ISymbol

Overrides:

getFriendlyName in class PossibleGenericSymbol

Returns:

a user presentable of the symbol name.

doGetFriendlyName

protected String doGetFriendlyName(String withName,
 Optional<ISymbol> theType)

getType

public Optional<ISymbol> getType()

Specified by:

getType in interface ISymbol

Overrides:

getType in class Symbol

setType

public ISymbol setType(ISymbol type)

Specified by:

setType in interface ISymbol

setType

public ISymbol setType(Optional<ISymbol> type)

Specified by:

setType in interface ISymbol

Overrides:

setType in class Symbol

resolveInThisScopeOnly

public Optional<ISymbol> resolveInThisScopeOnly(SymbolSearch search)

Description copied from interface: IScope

Just look in own scope.

Specified by:

resolveInThisScopeOnly in interface IScope

Overrides:

resolveInThisScopeOnly in class PossibleGenericSymbol

equals

public boolean equals(Object o)

Overrides:

equals in class PossibleGenericSymbol

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class PossibleGenericSymbol
