public interface TypeConstructor

Interface for types that can construct a Type based on an AST. This interface is not expected to be implemented directly, implementors are instead expected to use the functional interfaces of ComplexTypeConstructor or SimpleTypeConstructor - but this is optional.

  • Method Details

    • construct

      default Type construct(TypeBuilder typeBuilder, AST.ComplexType type) throws TypeBuildingException

      Attempt to build the type represented by this TypeConstructor

      Parameters:
      typeBuilder - the type builder that is being used to build types. Contains helper methods for implementations.
      type - the ast that a type is being constructed from
      Returns:
      the fully constructed type. Note that this might contain further nested types - these can/should be parsed using DefaultTypeBuilder#expectType(AST, java.util.function.Function).
      Throws:
      TypeBuildingException - if something went wrong

    • construct

      default Type construct(TypeBuilder typeBuilder, AST.Symbol symbol) throws TypeBuildingException

      Attempt to build the type represented by this TypeConstructor

      Parameters:
      typeBuilder - the type builder that is being used to build types. Contains helper methods for implementations.
      symbol - the ast that a type is being constructed from
      Returns:
      the fully constructed type
      Throws:
      TypeBuildingException - if something went wrong
