An assigner is responsible for converting some type A to another type B if possible.

 

An assigner is for example responsible for type casting, auto boxing or unboxing or for the widening of primitive types.

A default assigner that can handle void, primitive types and references.
/** * A default assigner that can handle {@code void}, primitive types and references. */
Assigner DEFAULT = new VoidAwareAssigner(new PrimitiveTypeAwareAssigner(ReferenceTypeAwareAssigner.INSTANCE));
Params:
  • source – The original type that is to be transformed into the targetType.
  • target – The target type into which the sourceType is to be converted.
  • typing – A hint whether the assignment should consider the runtime type of the source type, i.e. if type down or cross castings are allowed. If this hint is set, this is also an indication that void to non-void assignments are permitted.
Returns:A stack manipulation that transforms the sourceType into the targetType if this is possible. An illegal stack manipulation otherwise.

Indicates for a type assignment, if a type casting should be applied in case that two types are not statically assignable. Also, a dynamic typing indicates that void values are assignable to other types by assigning the target type's default value.
