public interface Signature {
Returns the number of parameters in this signature, adding 1 for a receiver if requested.
Params:
  • receiver – true if 1 is to be added to the result for a receiver
Returns:the number of parameters; + 1 iff receiver == true

int getParameterCount(boolean receiver);
Gets the parameter type at the specified position.
Params:
  • index – the index into the parameters, with 0 indicating the first parameter
  • accessingClass – the context of the type lookup. If non-null, its class loader is used for resolving the type. If null, then the type returned is either unresolved or a resolved type whose resolution is context free (e.g., a primitive type or a type in a java.* package).
Throws:
  • LinkageError – if accessingClass != null and resolution fails
Returns:the index'th parameter type

JavaType getParameterType(int index, ResolvedJavaType accessingClass);
Gets the parameter kind at the specified position. This is the same as calling getParameterType. getJavaKind.
Params:

Returns:the kind of the parameter at the specified position
/** * Gets the parameter kind at the specified position.

Gets the return type of this signature.
Params:

Gets the return kind of this signature. This is the same as calling getReturnType. getJavaKind.
/** * Gets the return kind of this signature. This is the same as calling {@link #getReturnType}. * {@link JavaType#getJavaKind getJavaKind}. */
default JavaKind getReturnKind() { return getReturnType(null).getJavaKind(); }
Gets the method descriptor corresponding to this signature. For example:
(ILjava/lang/String;D)V
Returns:the signature as a string
