Interface HMethodTypeVariable

All Superinterfaces:

HType, HTypeVariable

public interface HMethodTypeVariable
extends HTypeVariable

The HMethodTypeVariable interface represents a type variable declared as a formal parameter to a generic method. Example: A in <A> compareTo(A 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.)
