Constructor Detail

FixedType

public FixedType(ScalarTokenType type)

Creates a typer which always returns the given type.

Parameters:

type - the return type of the function. This must not be an abstract type.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the type is not a valid return type for functions

Method Detail

computeUpperBound

public ScalarTokenType computeUpperBound(FunctionContext ctx)

Description copied from interface: FunctionTyper

Calculates the upper bound for the function given the provided context.

The context contains the upper bounds on the types of all arguments to the function. If a argument is not a subclass of ScalarValuedFunction, its type is null.

Specified by:

computeUpperBound in interface FunctionTyper

Parameters:

ctx - the context of the function being processed

Returns:

the upper bound on the function

computeResultType

public ScalarTokenType computeResultType(FunctionContext ctx)

Description copied from interface: FunctionTyper

Calculates the result type for the function given the provided context.

The context contains the actual result types of all arguments to the function. If a argument is not a subclass of ScalarValuedFunction, its type is null.

Specified by:

computeResultType in interface FunctionTyper

Parameters:

ctx - the context of the function being processed

Returns:

the result type of the function
