      • getSort

        public TypeDefinition.Sort getSort()
        Description copied from interface: TypeDefinition
        Returns the sort of the generic type this instance represents.
        Returns:
        The sort of the generic type.

      • getDeclaredAnnotations

        public AnnotationList getDeclaredAnnotations()
        Description copied from interface: AnnotationSource
        Returns a list of annotations that are declared by this instance.
        Returns:
        A list of declared annotations.

      • asErasure

        public TypeDescription asErasure()
        Description copied from interface: TypeDefinition
        Returns the erasure of this type. Wildcard types (TypeDefinition.Sort.WILDCARD) do not have a well-defined erasure and cause an IllegalStateException to be thrown.
        Returns:
        The erasure of this type.

      • getUpperBounds

        public TypeList.Generic getUpperBounds()
        Description copied from interface: TypeDescription.Generic

        Returns the upper bounds of this type. Any type with a well-defined upper bound is bound by at least one type. If no such type is defined, the bound is implicitly Object.

        Only non-symbolic type variables (TypeDefinition.Sort.VARIABLE, and wildcard types (TypeDefinition.Sort.WILDCARD) have well-defined upper bounds. For other types, an IllegalStateException is thrown.

        Returns:
        The upper bounds of this type.

      • getTypeVariableSource

        public TypeVariableSource getTypeVariableSource()
        Description copied from interface: TypeDescription.Generic
        Returns the source of this type variable. A type variable source is only well-defined for an attached type variable (TypeDefinition.Sort.VARIABLE. For other types, this method throws an IllegalStateException.
        Returns:
        This type's type variable source.

      • getTypeArguments

        public TypeList.Generic getTypeArguments()
        Description copied from interface: TypeDescription.Generic

        Returns the type arguments of this type.

        Parameters are only well-defined for parameterized types (TypeDefinition.Sort.PARAMETERIZED). For all other types, this method throws an IllegalStateException.

        Returns:
        A list of this type's type parameters.

      • findBindingOf

        public TypeDescription.Generic findBindingOf​(TypeDescription.Generic typeVariable)
        Description copied from interface: TypeDescription.Generic

        Returns the parameter binding of the supplied type variable.

        This method must only be called for parameterized types (TypeDefinition.Sort.PARAMETERIZED). For all other types, this method throws an IllegalStateException.

        Parameters:
        typeVariable - The type variable for which a value should be located.
        Returns:
        The value that is bound to the supplied type variable or null if the type variable is not bound by this parameterized type.

      • getTypeName

        public java.lang.String getTypeName()
        Description copied from interface: TypeDefinition
        Returns the name of the type. For generic types, this name is their Object.toString() representations. For a non-generic type, it is the fully qualified binary name of the type.
        Returns:
        The name of this type.

      • getActualName

        public java.lang.String getActualName()
        Description copied from interface: NamedElement
        Returns the name of this element as it is found in the source code. If no such name exists, an empty string is returned.
        Returns:
        The name of this element as given in a Java program's source code.

      • accept

        public <T> T accept​(TypeDescription.Generic.Visitor<T> visitor)
        Description copied from interface: TypeDescription.Generic
        Applies a visitor to this generic type description.
        Type Parameters:
        T - The value that this visitor yields.
        Parameters:
        visitor - The visitor to apply.
        Returns:
        The visitor's return value.

      • getStackSize

        public StackSize getStackSize()
        Description copied from interface: TypeDefinition
        Returns the size of the type described by this instance. Wildcard types (TypeDefinition.Sort.WILDCARD do not have a well-defined a stack size and cause an IllegalStateException to be thrown.
        Returns:
        The size of the type described by this instance.

      • isArray

        public boolean isArray()
        Description copied from interface: TypeDefinition
