   If the given type is java.lang.Object, the empty list is returned.

   Interfaces are not further considered, because they generally don't need any instance initialization. If the given type is an interface type, the returned list will hence only contain java.lang.Object.

    Examples:

    1. Introduction

       Before looking in some examples, we have to set up the terminology. Type definition: List<String, ? extends Number, ?> ContainerType - A ContainerType is a type with parameters. In the previous type definition is List the ContainerType. TypeArgument - A TypeArgument is one of the parameters of the ContainerType. The above type definition has three TypeArguments. (String, ? extends Number and ?) VarianceIndicator - A VarianceIndicator is defined in the context of TypeArguments. There is a CovariantIndicator which can be defined in the type definition by using the extends keyword. (? extends Number is a covariant TypeArgument). The other one is the ContravariantIndicator which is defined using the super keyword.

    ,

    2. 1

       instance // definition subtype: List<String> // List<E> supertype: List<String> // List<E> If the ContainerType of the subtype is equal to the ContainerType of the supertype and non of the TypeArguments has a VarianceIndicator, then exists a subtype relation if and only if all of the TypeArguments are equal.

    ,

    3. 2

       subtype: SomeClass // SomeClass extends SomeInterface<String> supertype: SomeInterface<String> // SomeInterface<E> Is the subtype a ConcreteType without org.opalj.br.FormalTypeParameters and the supertype is a GenericType then we first have to check whether the subtype is a subtype of the given supertype. If not, then the subtype is not an actual subtype of the given supertype. Otherwise we have to find the definition of the supertype in the type defintion or the type definiton of a super class or a super interface (interface definiton of SomeInterface<String>). Once found the supertype, we can compare all TypeArguments of the supertype defintion of the subtype and the given supertype. (We are comparing String and String in this example) If all of them are equal, subtype is an actual subtype of the supertype.

    ,

    4. 3

       subtype: Foo<Integer, String> // Foo<T,E> extends Bar<E> supertype: Bar<String> // Bar<E> Does the subtype and supertype have FormalTypeParameters and the ContainerType of the subtype is a subtype of the ContainerType of the supertype, we have to compare the shared TypeArguments. In our example the subtype Foo has two FormalTypeParameter (T,E) and the supertype Bar has only one FormalTypeParameter (E). Since both of them specify E in the ClassSignature of Foo, they share E as FormalTypeParameter. So it is necessary to check whether the acctual bound TypeArgument at the postion of E is equal. At first we have to locate the shared parameter in the ClassSignature, so it is possible to find the correct TypeArguments. The above example shows that the shared parameter E is in the second postion of the FormalTypeParameters of Foo and at the first postion of the FormalTypeParameters of Bar. Second and last we know can compare the according TypeArguments. All other parameters can be ignored because they are no important to decide the subtype relation.

    Note

    This method relies – in case of a comparison of non generic types – on isSubtypeOf(org.opalj.br.ObjectType,org.opalj.br.ObjectType) of Project which performs an upwards search only. E.g., given the following type hierarchy: class D inherits from C class E inherits from D and the query isSubtypeOf(D,E) the answer will be Unknown if C is Unknown and No otherwise.

    Selects all types of the given set of types that do not have any subtype in the given set.

    Selects all types of the given set of types that do not have any subtype in the given set. If the given set is empty, a set containing java.lang.Object is returned. A set which contains only one type will directly be returned.

    types

    A set of types that contains for each type stored in the set all direct and indirect supertypes or none. For example, the intersection of the sets of all supertypes (as returned, e.g., by ClassHiearchy.allSupertypes) of two (independent) types satisfies this condition. If types is empty, the returned leaf type is ObjectType.Object. which should always be a safe fallback.

    Enables the guided processing of all subtypes of the given type. This function enables you to compute some value based on the subtypes of the given type and – at the same time – to control the process of traversing the subtypes.

    initial

    The initial value of the computation. This is also the value that will be returned if the given type has no subtypes and reflexive is false.

    f

    A function that computes the new value given the current value and which also returns the information whether the computation should be aborted using the current value of type t or if the subtypes of the current subtype should be traversed. The commented signature of f is:

    The set of all class types (excluding interfaces) which have no super type or for which the supertype information is incomplete; that is all (pseudo) root types. If the class hierarchy is complete, then this set contains exactly one element and that element must identify java.lang.Object.

    Note

    rootClassTypes is not necessarily a subset of rootTypes. A class which has an unknown super class, but implements a known interface is considered to belong to rootClassTypes but is not a member of rootTypes because some supertype information exists!

    ,

    If we load an application and all the jars used to implement it or a library and all the library it depends on, then the class hierarchy should not contain multiple root types. However, the (complete) JDK contains some references to Eclipse classes which are not part of the JDK.
