Interface HClassTypeVariable

All Superinterfaces:

HType, HTypeVariable

public interface HClassTypeVariable
extends HTypeVariable

The HClassTypeVariable interface represents a type variable declared as a formal parameter to a generic class or interface. Example: A in Collection<A>.

Note that implementations of this interface are free to return distinct objects for the same type variable; the identity of an object implementing this interface may not be used to test for identity among the type variables they represent. (In other words, this interface does not extend ReferenceUnique.)
