All Known Implementing Classes:

public interface InvocationNode
extends TypeNode, MethodUsage

Groups method and constructor call, together, as well as explicit constructor invocation statements, and enum constant declarations. Those last two are included, because they are special syntax to call a constructor.

The arguments of the invocation are said to be in an "invocation context", which influences what conversions they are subject to. It also means the type of the arguments may depend on the resolution of the compile-time declaration of this node.

Method Detail

getArguments

@Nullable ASTArgumentList getArguments()

Returns the node representing the list of arguments passed to the invocation. Can be null if this is an ASTEnumConstant.

getExplicitTypeArguments

@Nullable ASTTypeArguments getExplicitTypeArguments()

Returns the explicit type arguments if they exist.

getMethodType

default JMethodSig getMethodType()

Gets the type of the method or constructor that is called by this node. See OverloadSelectionResult.getMethodType().

getOverloadSelectionInfo

OverloadSelectionResult getOverloadSelectionInfo()

Returns information about the overload selection for this call. Be aware, that selection might have failed (OverloadSelectionResult.isFailed()).
