public class SuperConstructorInvocation
extends Statement

Super constructor invocation statement AST node type. For JLS2: *

 SuperConstructorInvocation:
     [ Expression . ] super
         ( [ Expression { , Expression } ] ) ;
 
For JLS3, type arguments are added:
 SuperConstructorInvocation:
     [ Expression . ]
         [ < Type { , Type } > ]
         super ( [ Expression { , Expression } ] ) ;
 

Note: This Class only applies to ECMAScript 4 which is not yet supported

Provisional API: This class/interface is part of an interim API that is still under development and expected to change significantly before reaching stability. It is being made available at this early stage to solicit feedback from pioneering adopters on the understanding that any code that uses this API will almost certainly be broken (repeatedly) as the API evolves.

Field Detail

EXPRESSION_PROPERTY

public static final ChildPropertyDescriptor EXPRESSION_PROPERTY
The "expression" structural property of this node type.


TYPE_ARGUMENTS_PROPERTY

public static final ChildListPropertyDescriptor TYPE_ARGUMENTS_PROPERTY
The "typeArguments" structural property of this node type (added in JLS3 API).


ARGUMENTS_PROPERTY

public static final ChildListPropertyDescriptor ARGUMENTS_PROPERTY
The "arguments" structural property of this node type.

Method Detail

propertyDescriptors

public static java.util.List propertyDescriptors(int apiLevel)
Returns a list of structural property descriptors for this node type. Clients must not modify the result.

Parameters:
apiLevel - the API level; one of the AST.JLS* constants
Returns:
a list of property descriptors (element type: StructuralPropertyDescriptor)

getExpression

public Expression getExpression()
Returns the expression of this super constructor invocation statement, or null if there is none.

Returns:
the expression node, or null if there is none

setExpression

public void setExpression(Expression expression)
Sets or clears the expression of this super constructor invocation statement.

Parameters:
expression - the expression node, or null if there is none
Throws:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if:
  • the node belongs to a different AST
  • the node already has a parent
  • a cycle in would be created

typeArguments

public java.util.List typeArguments()
Returns the live ordered list of type arguments of this constructor invocation (added in JLS3 API).

Returns:
the live list of type arguments (element type: Type)
Throws:
java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException - if this operation is used in a JLS2 AST

arguments

public java.util.List arguments()
Returns the live ordered list of argument expressions in this super constructor invocation statement.

Returns:
the live list of argument expressions (element type: Expression)

resolveConstructorBinding

public IFunctionBinding resolveConstructorBinding()
Resolves and returns the binding for the constructor invoked by this expression.

Note that bindings are generally unavailable unless requested when the AST is being built.

Returns:
the constructor binding, or null if the binding cannot be resolved
