      • describe

        public TypePool.Resolution describe​(java.lang.String name)
        Locates and describes the given type by its name.
        Specified by:
        describe in interface TypePool
        Parameters:
        name - The name of the type to describe. The name is to be written as when calling Object.toString() on a loaded Class.
        Returns:
        A resolution of the type to describe. If the type to be described was found, the returned TypePool.Resolution represents this type. Otherwise, an illegal resolution is returned.
      • doCache

                                              TypePool.Resolution resolution)
        Writes the resolution to the cache. This method should be overridden if the directly resolved instance should not be added to the cache.
        Parameters:
        name - The name of the type.
        resolution - The resolution for this type.
        Returns:
        The actual resolution for the type of this name that is stored in the cache.
      • clear

        public void clear()
        Clears this type pool's cache.
        Specified by:

      • doDescribe

        protected abstract TypePool.Resolution doDescribe​(java.lang.String name)
        Determines a resolution to a non-primitive, non-array type.
        Parameters:
        name - The name of the type to describe.
        Returns:
        A resolution to the type to describe.
