Method Detail

protected static boolean argumentClassIsParameterClass(Class<?> argumentClass, Class<?> parameterClass)

Realizes an unsharp equal for the class. In general we return true if the provided arguments are the same. But we will also return true if our argument class is a wrapper for the parameter class. For example the parameter is an int and the argument class is a wrapper.

protected static Class<?> getWrapperClass(Class<?> c)

Get wrapper class for a given class. If the class is for a primitive number type, then the wrapper class will be returned. If it is no primitive number type, we return the class itself.

protected static boolean isBigDecCategory(Class<?> x)

protected static boolean isDoubleCategory(Class<?> x)

protected static boolean isIntCategory(Class<?> x)

protected static boolean isLongCategory(Class<?> x)

protected static MethodType replaceWithMoreSpecificType(Object[] args, MethodType callSiteType)

Replaces the types in the callSiteType parameter if more specific types given through the arguments. This is in general the case, unless the argument is null.
