public interface IApplicableCandidate

A candidate encapsulates intermediate computation results. It may represent a not yet applied linking candidate or other derived properties that are pending to be written into the model, e.g. the implicit parameters of closures.

Method Summary

Methods

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
void	applyToModel(IResolvedTypes resolvedTypes) Injects the resolved information into the model.
boolean	validate(IAcceptor<? super AbstractDiagnostic> result) Produce diagnostics for this condidate.

Method Detail

applyToModel

void applyToModel(IResolvedTypes resolvedTypes)

Injects the resolved information into the model.

validate

boolean validate(IAcceptor<? super AbstractDiagnostic> result)

Produce diagnostics for this condidate. It is not the responsibility of this candidate to propagate the acceptor to its children.

Returns:

true if further validation should be performed.
