java.lang.Object org.eclipse.core.expressions.Expression
Abstract base class for all expressions provided by the common expression language.
An expression is evaluated by calling evaluate(IEvaluationContext)
.
This class may be subclassed to provide specific expressions.
Field Summary | |
protected static java.lang.String |
ATT_VALUE
Name of the value attribute of an expression (value is value ). |
static Expression |
FALSE
The expression corresponding to EvaluationResult.FALSE . |
protected static int |
HASH_CODE_NOT_COMPUTED
The constant integer hash code value meaning the hash code has not yet been computed. |
protected static int |
HASH_FACTOR
A factor for computing the hash code for all expressions. |
static Expression |
TRUE
The expression corresponding to EvaluationResult.TRUE . |

protected static final boolean equals(java.lang.Object left, java.lang.Object right)
equals(Object)
method of the left
object.
This method handles null
for either the left
or right
object.
left
- the first object to compare; may be null
.right
- the second object to compare; may be null
.
true
if the two objects are equivalent;
false
otherwise.protected static final boolean equals(java.lang.Object[] leftArray, java.lang.Object[] rightArray)
null
, but their elements may be
null
.
leftArray
- the left array to compare; may be null
, and
may be empty and may contain null
elements.rightArray
- the right array to compare; may be null
,
and may be empty and may contain null
elements.
true
if the arrays are equal length and the elements
at the same position are equal; false
otherwise.protected static final int hashCode(java.lang.Object object)
object
. This method
handles null
.
object
- the object for which the hash code is desired; may be
null
.

context
- an evaluation context providing information like variable,
name spaces, etc. necessary to evaluate this expression
CoreException
- if the evaluation failed. The concrete reason is
defined by the subclass implementing this methodpublic final ExpressionInfo computeExpressionInfo()
