Method Details

baseType

char baseType()

Returns the single-letter descriptor for the base type.

Returns:: the single-letter descriptor for the base type

of

static Signature.BaseTypeSig of(ClassDesc classDesc)

Returns the signature of a primitive type or void.

Parameters:: classDesc - a symbolic descriptor for the base type, must correspond to a primitive type
Returns:: the signature of a primitive type or void
Throws:: IllegalArgumentException - if the classDesc is not primitive

of

static Signature.BaseTypeSig of(char baseType)

Returns the signature of a primitive type or void.

Parameters:: baseType - the single-letter descriptor for the base type
Returns:: the signature of a primitive type or void
Throws:: IllegalArgumentException - if the baseType is not a valid descriptor character for a primitive type or void
