Method Details

equals

public boolean equals(Object o)

Overrides:

equals in class Symbol

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class Symbol

clone

public VariableSymbol 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 ISymbol

Overrides:

clone in class Symbol

cloneIntoVariable

protected VariableSymbol cloneIntoVariable(VariableSymbol newCopy)

isPropertyField

public boolean isPropertyField()

setAggregatePropertyField

public void setAggregatePropertyField(boolean isAggregatePropertyField)

isPrivate

public boolean isPrivate()

setPrivate

public void setPrivate(boolean isPrivate)

isPublic

public boolean isPublic()

isLoopVariable

public boolean isLoopVariable()

setLoopVariable

public void setLoopVariable(boolean asLoopVar)

isIncomingParameter

public boolean isIncomingParameter()

setIncomingParameter

public void setIncomingParameter(boolean incomingParameter)

isReturningParameter

public boolean isReturningParameter()

setReturningParameter

public void setReturningParameter(boolean returningParameter)

isMutable

public boolean isMutable()

Description copied from interface: ISymbol

Even constants can be mutable until set. then they change to being none mutable. Likewise in 'pure' scopes a variable can be mutable until it is first set then none mutable.

Specified by:

isMutable in interface ISymbol

Overrides:

isMutable in class Symbol

Returns:

If this symbol is mutable or not.

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 Symbol

Returns:

a user presentable of the symbol name.
