Constructor Detail

CharLiteral

public CharLiteral(Type type,
                   char value)

Method Detail

equivalent

public boolean equivalent(java.lang.Object exp)

Return true if the two expressions are equivalent.

Overrides:

equivalent in class Expression

toStringSpecial

public java.lang.String toStringSpecial()

Description copied from class: Node

This method allows sub-classes to provide class specific stuff to the string.

Overrides:

toStringSpecial in class Expression

visit

public void visit(Predicate p)

Description copied from class: Node

Process a node by calling its associated routine. See the "visitor" design pattern in Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software by E. Gamma, et al, Addison Wesley, ISBN 0-201-63361-2.

Each class has a visit(Predicate p) method. For example, in class ABC:

   public void visit(Predicate p)
   {
     p.visitABC(this);
   }
 

and the class that implements Predicate has a method

   public void visitABC(Node n)
   {
     ABC a = (ABC) n;
     ...
   }
 

Thus, the class that implements Predicate can call

   n.visit(this);
 

where n is a Node sub-class without determining which specific sub-class n is. The visit pattern basically avoids implementing a large switch statement or defining different methods in each class for some purpose.

Overrides:

visit in class Literal

See Also:

Predicate

getGenericValue

public final java.lang.String getGenericValue()

Get the string version of the literal using C syntax.

Overrides:

getGenericValue in class Literal

Returns:

a String already converted for display using C syntax.

getCharacterValue

public char getCharacterValue()

Return the value of the literal.

setValue

protected final void setValue(char value)

Set the value of the literal.

canonical

public long canonical()

Return a unique value representing this particular expression.

Overrides:

canonical in class Expression

executionCostEstimate

public int executionCostEstimate()

Return a relative cost estimate for executing the expression.

Overrides:

executionCostEstimate in class Literal
