All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.Cloneable, Type

public class UnionType
extends AssociativeType
implements java.lang.Cloneable

A class representing the type of a UnionToken. To set the type of a typeable object (such as a port or parameter) to a union with particular fields, create an instance of this class and call setTypeEquals() with that instance as an argument.

The depth subtyping is similar to that of RecordTypes. However, the width subtyping for UnionType is opposite compared to RecordType i.e., a UnionType with more fields is a supertype of a UnionType with a subset of the fields. For example, {|x = double, y = int} is a supertype of {|x = double}.

Constructor Detail

UnionType

public UnionType(java.lang.String[] labels,
                 Type[] types)

Construct a new UnionType with the specified labels and types. To leave the types of some fields undeclared, use BaseType.UNKNOWN. The labels and the types are specified in two arrays. These two arrays must have the same length, and their elements have one to one correspondence. That is, the i'th entry in the types array is the type for the i'th label in the labels array. To construct the empty record type, set the length of the argument arrays to 0.

Parameters:

labels - An array of String.

types - An array of Type.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - If the two arrays do not have the same size.

java.lang.NullPointerException - If one of the arguments is null.

Method Detail

clone

public java.lang.Object clone()

Return a deep copy of this UnionType if it is a variable, or itself if it is a constant.

Specified by:

clone in interface Type

Specified by:

clone in class StructuredType

Returns:

A UnionType.

convert

public Token convert(Token token)
              throws IllegalActionException

Convert the argument token into a UnionToken having this type, if lossless conversion can be done. The argument must be a UnionToken, and its type must be a subtype of this record type. The argument token must have at least the fields of this type. Extra fields in the argument token that are not in this type are removed.

Specified by:

convert in interface Type

Parameters:

token - A token.

Returns:

An UnionToken.

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If lossless conversion cannot be done.

depth

public int depth()

Return the depth of a union type. The depth of a union type is the number of times it contains other structured types.

Overrides:

depth in class StructuredType

Returns:

the depth of a union type.

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object object)

Determine if the argument represents the same UnionType as this object. Two record types are equal if they have the same field names and the type of each field is the same.

Specified by:

equals in interface Type

Overrides:

equals in class java.lang.Object

Parameters:

object - Another object.

Returns:

True if the argument represents the same UnionType as this object.

get

public Type get(java.lang.String label)

Return the type of the specified label. If this type does not contain the specified label, return null.

Specified by:

get in class AssociativeType

Parameters:

label - The specified label.

Returns:

a Type.

getTokenClass

public java.lang.Class getTokenClass()

Return the class for tokens that this type represents.

Specified by:

getTokenClass in interface Type

Returns:

The class for tokens that this type represents.

getTypeTerm

public InequalityTerm getTypeTerm(java.lang.String label)

Return the InequalityTerm representing the type of the specified label.

Parameters:

label - The specified label.

Returns:

An InequalityTerm.

See Also:

InequalityTerm

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Return a hash code value for this object.

Overrides:

hashCode in class java.lang.Object

initialize

public void initialize(Type type)

Set the elements that have declared type BaseType.UNKNOWN (the leaf type variable) to the specified type.

Specified by:

initialize in class StructuredType

Parameters:

type - the type to set the leaf type variable to.

isAbstract

public boolean isAbstract()

Test if this type corresponds to an abstract token class. A UnionType is abstract if any field is abstract

Specified by:

isAbstract in interface Type

Overrides:

isAbstract in class StructuredType

Returns:

True if this type is instantiable.

isCompatible

public boolean isCompatible(Type type)

Test if the argument type is compatible with this type. The given type will be compatible with this type if it is BaseType.UNKNOWN, or a UnionType that contains at most as many fields.

Specified by:

isCompatible in interface Type

Parameters:

type - An instance of Type.

Returns:

True if the argument is compatible with this type.

Returns:

A String.

updateType

public void updateType(StructuredType newType)
                throws IllegalActionException
