public interface SourceDereferenceExpression
extends SourceOperatorExpression, CompiledAccessExpression

A SourceDereferenceExpression is a common base expression representing an operator that performs a dereference. The three dereference expressions are: array access, method call, and dot dereference.

Method Detail

getLhsOperand

SourceExpression getLhsOperand()

Returns:

The lhs operand of this dereference. Null if none. If this is a dot dereference... well, you can figure that one out. If this is an array access, the lhs operand will be the array variable. If this is a method call, the lhs operand is optional. If this is a class creator, the lhs operand is optional. If there is a lhs operand, it means that this is a qualified class creator and the lhs operand is the outer class instance being used.

setLhsOperand

void setLhsOperand(SourceExpression e)

Attempts to set the lhs operand for this expression.

Parameters:

e - If null, then this will remove the lhs operand (legal only for method calls).

Throws:

java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException - if this operation is illegal.
