Enum Class SymbolGenus

java.lang.Object
java.lang.Enum<SymbolGenus>
org.ek9lang.compiler.symbols.SymbolGenus
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Comparable<SymbolGenus>, Constable
public enum SymbolGenus extends Enum<SymbolGenus>
Typically, used on aggregates because we might use a AggregateSymbol.

But when coming to process it we need to ensure other aggregate symbols that extend it are of compatible genus i.e a class can only extend a base class not a style but one style could extend another style. We can also use this information when parsing the structure and then doing the semantic analysis before the IR node generation. We can modify output by using this information.

Note that 'Any' is designed to allow more general 'Object' type use and the super of all supers.

      an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared

    • valueOf

      public static SymbolGenus valueOf(String name)
      Returns the enum constant of this class with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this class. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
      Parameters:
      name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
      Returns:
      the enum constant with the specified name
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if this enum class has no constant with the specified name
      NullPointerException - if the argument is null
