Enum Constant Summary

Enum Constants

Enum Constant and Description
AMBIGUOUS Indicates that both candidates are equally valid.
EQUALLY_INVALID Indicates that both candidates are equally invalid.
OTHER Indicates that the current candidate is worse than the other one.
SUSPICIOUS_OTHER Indicates that the current candidate is worse than the other one due to less specific parameter types, but the other one is on a different implicit receiver than this one.
THIS Indicates that the current candidate is a better match than the other one.

Enum Constant Detail

THIS

public static final CandidateCompareResult THIS

Indicates that the current candidate is a better match than the other one.

OTHER

public static final CandidateCompareResult OTHER

Indicates that the current candidate is worse than the other one.

SUSPICIOUS_OTHER

public static final CandidateCompareResult SUSPICIOUS_OTHER

Indicates that the current candidate is worse than the other one due to less specific parameter types, but the other one is on a different implicit receiver than this one. This result may only be returned when the expected argument types are compared.

AMBIGUOUS

public static final CandidateCompareResult AMBIGUOUS

Indicates that both candidates are equally valid. The situation may be ambiguous.

EQUALLY_INVALID

public static final CandidateCompareResult EQUALLY_INVALID

Indicates that both candidates are equally invalid. Pick the first one.

Method Detail

values

public static CandidateCompareResult[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (CandidateCompareResult c : CandidateCompareResult.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static CandidateCompareResult valueOf(java.lang.String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null
