Class ASTReceiverParameter

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    GenericNode<JavaNode>, JjtreeNode<JavaNode>, Node, TextAvailableNode, JavaNode, Reportable
    public final class ASTReceiverParameter
extends AbstractJjtreeNode<net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.java.ast.AbstractJavaNode,​JavaNode>
    Receiver parameter. A receiver parameter is syntactically part of a formal parameter list, though it does not declare a variable or affect the arity of the method in any way. Its only purpose is to annotate the type of the object on which the method call is issued. It was introduced with Java 8.

    For example: 

     class Foo {
   abstract void foo(@Bar Foo this);
 }

    Receiver parameters are only allowed on two types of declarations:

    • Instance method declarations of a class or interface (not annotation) type
    • Constructor declaration of a non-static inner class. It then has the type of the enclosing instance.
    In both cases it must be the first parameter of the formal parameter list, and is entirely optional. 
    
 ReceiverParameter ::= ClassOrInterfaceType (<IDENTIFIER> ".")? "this"

    • Method Detail

      • acceptVisitor

        protected <P,​R> R acceptVisitor​(JavaVisitor<? super P,​? extends R> visitor,
                                      P data)

      • getReceiverType

        public @NonNull ASTClassOrInterfaceType getReceiverType()
        Returns the type of the receiver parameter (eg Foo in Foo this. In an instance method, that type must be the class or interface in which the method is declared, and the name of the receiver parameter must be this.

        In an inner class's constructor, the type of the receiver parameter must be the class or interface which is the immediately enclosing type declaration of the inner class, call it C, and the name of the parameter must be Identifier.this where Identifier is the simple name of C.
