public class TailRecursiveASTTransformation extends AbstractASTTransformation
Handles generation of code for the @TailRecursive annotation.

It's doing its work in the earliest possible compile phase

  • Method Details

    • visit

      public void visit(ASTNode[] nodes, SourceUnit source)
      The method is invoked when an AST Transformation is active. For local transformations, it is invoked once each time the local annotation is encountered. For global transformations, it is invoked once for every source unit, which is typically a source file.
      Parameters:
      nodes - The ASTnodes when the call was triggered. Element 0 is the AnnotationNode that triggered this annotation to be activated. Element 1 is the AnnotatedNode decorated, such as a MethodNode or ClassNode. For global transformations it is usually safe to ignore this parameter.
      source - The source unit being compiled. The source unit may contain several classes. For global transformations, information about the AST can be retrieved from this object.
    • name2VariableMappingFor

      public Map<String,Map> name2VariableMappingFor(MethodNode method)
      Builds the parameter-to-iteration-variable mapping used during transformation.
      Parameters:
      method - the method being transformed
      Returns:
      a mapping from parameter name to iteration variable metadata
    • position2VariableMappingFor

      public Map<Integer,Map> position2VariableMappingFor(MethodNode method)
      Builds the argument-position mapping used during recursive return conversion.
      Parameters:
      method - the method being transformed
      Returns:
      a mapping from parameter position to iteration variable metadata
    • getMY_TYPE_NAME

      public static String getMY_TYPE_NAME()
      Returns the annotation name used in diagnostics emitted by this transformation.
      Returns:
      the simple annotation name prefixed with @
