Method Detail

accept

public <T> T accept(TypeVisitor<T> visitor)

Accept a visitor.

Return the canonical name of the erasure of this type. (Anonymous types and types contained within anonymous types do not have canonical names, but are unrepresented here in any case). See section 6.7 of the JLS for the definition of canonical names; using the erasure of the type allows this definition to extend to parameterized types and type variables.
