Create a generic of type T for the untyped class cls. Generally cls is a class that has been generated and loaded, so no compiled code can depend on the class directly. However, the generated class probably implements some interface T, represented here by Class.
Params:
  • type – The expected type of a create call.
  • className – The name of the class to use for a constructor.
  • signature – The signature of the desired constructor.
Throws:

Create an instance of type T using the constructor that matches the given arguments if possible. The constructor is cached, so an instance of GenericClass should always be used for the same types of arguments. If a call fails, a check is made to see if a different constructor could be used.
Params:
  • args – The constructor arguments.
Returns:A new instance of the object.
