|
45 |
* <p> To implement operations based on the class of an {@code |

46 |
* TypeMirror} object, either use a {@linkplain TypeVisitor visitor} |
|
47 |
* or use the result of the {@link #getKind} method. Using {@code |
|
48 |
* instanceof} is <em>not</em> necessarily a reliable idiom for |
|
49 |
* determining the effective class of an object in this modeling |
|
50 |
* hierarchy since an implementation may choose to have a single |
|
51 |
* object implement multiple {@code TypeMirror} subinterfaces. |
