Class UnboundTypeReference

java.lang.Object

org.eclipse.xtext.xbase.typesystem.references.LightweightTypeReference

org.eclipse.xtext.xbase.typesystem.references.UnboundTypeReference

public class UnboundTypeReference
extends LightweightTypeReference

A type reference that points to a type parameter that is not yet resolved. UnboundTypeReference should be created with a concrete ITypeExpectation via the factory method ITypeExpectation.createUnboundTypeReference(XExpression, JvmTypeParameter) or create(ITypeExpectation, XExpression, JvmTypeParameter) respectively. Such type references may be produced in cases like val x = newArrayList where x has the inferred type ArrayList<Unbound[E]>. Unbound types may be enhanced with hints to allow the type inferrer to find the most suitable type.

acceptHint

public void acceptHint(LightweightTypeReference hint,
                       BoundTypeArgumentSource source,
                       java.lang.Object origin,
                       VarianceInfo expectedVariance,
                       VarianceInfo actualVariance)

Attach a resolution hint to this unbound type reference.

Only valid hints can be accepted. The given source indicates the quality of this hint. The variances indicate how the hint was used and how it was expected to be used. A hint from a co-variant location may not have the same impact for a contra-variant usage as a contra-variant hint. Consider a return type of a method

<T> Collection<? extends T> m(..) { }

and its usage

Collection<? super CharSequence> variable = m(..)

The hint that stems from the variable declaration may not be very useful since the variances are not compatible. Nevertheless, it can be accepted to produce better error messages.

Parameters:

hint - the reference that provides the hint.

source - the source of this hint, e.g. an inferred hint, or an expectation.

origin - the object that produced the hint. Only for debugging purpose to trace the origin of a hint.

expectedVariance - the expected variance, e.g. where this unbound type reference is used.

actualVariance - how the hint is used.
