Libraries.Language.Compile.Symbol.Type

This action adds a generic to this type as a subtype.

This action compares two object hash codes and returns an integer. The result is larger if this hash code is larger than the object passed as a parameter, smaller, or equal. In this case, -1 means smaller, 0 means equal, and 1 means larger. This action was changed in Quorum 7 to return an integer, instead of a CompareResult object, because the previous implementation was causing efficiency issues.

Example Code

Object o
        Object t
        integer result = o:Compare(t) //1 (larger), 0 (equal), or -1 (smaller)

Returns a static key for the object version of this type, even if it is a primitive. It does not change the type itself.

it is an object, so return its interface type

This action changes this type to represent a generic, with the given name that is currently its static key.

it is an object, so return its interface type

This is the value of the text if it happens to be a constant.

This action copies Type type into the curren object's fields.

This action determines if two objects are equal based on their hash code values.

Example Code

use Libraries.Language.Object
        use Libraries.Language.Types.Text
        Object o
        Text t
        boolean result = o:Equals(t)

This action returns a constant value representing a known constant for this type. If this type is not declared as a constant, this action is invalid.

This is the value of the number if it happens to be a constant.

This is the value of the integer if it happens to be a constant.

This action returns a top-level generic at a particular location. If, for example, I have: T>, M>, this action would return the generic M.

This action returns all top level generics. Each of these generics may have subgenerics.

This action gets the hash code for an object.

Example Code

Object o
        integer hash = o:GetHashCode()

This action returns a constant value representing a known constant for this type. If this type is not declared as a constant, this action is invalid.

This action copies Type type into the curren object's fields.

This action returns all top level generics. Each of these generics may have subgenerics.

This action returns a top-level generic at a particular location. If, for example, I have: T>, M>, this action would return the generic M.

This action sets up this type value to be equivalent to a particular generic in a generic list. For example, if we have Array, and the array class is defined at class Array then returning "type" would be equivalent to Item in this instance.

This action returns a constant value representing a known constant for this type. If this type is not declared as a constant, this action is invalid.

This action returns the number of top level generics. Nested generics are not taken into account by this action. For example, if I had T, this would return 1. If I had T>, this action would still return 1. If I had: T, V>, this action would return 2.

This action returns the number of top level generics. Nested generics are not taken into account by this action. For example, if I had T, this would return 1. If I had T>, this action would still return 1. If I had: T, V>, this action would return 2.

This action returns whether or not this action has generics.
