Type Parameters:

S - Type of symbols

All Known Subinterfaces:

NameResolver.SingleNameResolver<S>
```
public interface NameResolver<S>
```
Name resolvers are strategies backing ShadowChains. They have no information about outer context, instead the structure of the shadow group chain handles that.

Modifier and Type Interface Description

static interface NameResolver.SingleNameResolver<S>
A base class for resolvers that know at most one symbol for any given name.

All Methods Static Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods Default Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`static <T> NameResolver<T>`	`composite(List<? extends NameResolver<? extends T>> resolvers)`	Returns a resolver that concatenates the results of every resolver in the given list.
`default boolean`	`isDefinitelyEmpty()`	Returns true if this resolver knows it cannot resolve anything.
`default @NonNull OptionalBool`	`knows(String simpleName)`	Returns whether this resolver knows if it has a declaration for the given name.
`default @Nullable S`	`resolveFirst(String simpleName)`	Resolves the first symbol that would be part of the list yielded by `resolveHere(String)` for the given name.
`@NonNull List<S>`	`resolveHere(String simpleName)`	Returns all symbols known by this resolver that have the given simple name.
`String`	`toString()`	Please implement toString to ease debugging.

- Method Detail
  - resolveHere
```
@NonNull List<S> resolveHere(String simpleName)
```
    Returns all symbols known by this resolver that have the given simple name. Depending on language semantics, finding several symbols may mean there is ambiguity. If no such symbol is known, returns an empty list.
    
    Parameters:
    
    simpleName - Simple name
  - resolveFirst
```
default @Nullable S resolveFirst(String simpleName)
```
    Resolves the first symbol that would be part of the list yielded by resolveHere(String) for the given name. If the list would be empty (no such symbol is known), returns null.
  - knows
```
default @NonNull OptionalBool knows(String simpleName)
```
    Returns whether this resolver knows if it has a declaration for the given name. If the result is NO, then resolveFirst MUST be null, if the result is YES, then resolveFirst MUST be non-null. Otherwise we don't know.
  - isDefinitelyEmpty
```
default boolean isDefinitelyEmpty()
```
    Returns true if this resolver knows it cannot resolve anything.
  - toString
```
String toString()
```
    Please implement toString to ease debugging.
    
    Overrides:
    
    toString in class Object
  - composite
```
static <T> NameResolver<T> composite(List<? extends NameResolver<? extends T>> resolvers)
```
    Returns a resolver that concatenates the results of every resolver in the given list.
    
    Type Parameters:
    
    T - Type of symbol
    
    Parameters:
    
    resolvers - Resolvers
