Method Detail

convert

public Token convert(Token t)
              throws IllegalActionException

Description copied from class: BaseType

Convert the specified token to a token having the type represented by this object.

Specified by:

convert in interface Type

Specified by:

convert in class BaseType

Parameters:

t - A token.

Returns:

A token.

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If lossless conversion cannot be done.

getTypeHash

public int getTypeHash()

Description copied from class: BaseType

Return a perfect hash for this type. This number corresponds uniquely to a particular type, and is used to improve performance of certain operations in the TypeLattice class. All instances of a particular type (e.g. integer array) must return the same number. Types that return HASH_INVALID will not have results in TypeLattice cached. Note that it is safer to return HASH_INVALID, than to return a number that is not unique, or different number for the same type from different instances. This base class returns HASH_INVALID.

Specified by:

getTypeHash in interface Type

Overrides:

getTypeHash in class BaseType

Returns:

A number between 0 and HASH_MAX, or HASH_INVALID.
