meth( ... ) - Specifying the Method
Other versions: 7.31 | 7.40 | 7.54
Syntax
... meth
| oref->meth
| class=>meth
| super->meth ...
Alternatives
2. ... oref->meth ...
3. ... class=>meth ...
Effect
These names are used for the to specify methods statically, where meth is
a valid name for the method in the current context. A special case of specifying methods statically
is when they are specified after the pseudo reference super in methods of subclasses.
Note
The name of a method can be the name of the method declared in METHODS, a name composed using the
interface component selector, or an
alias name.
Alternative 1
... meth ...
Effect
Can be specified in method implementations for any method meth of the same
class. In instance methods, meth is a short form of me->meth, where me is the
self reference.
Alternative 2
... oref->meth ...
Effect
Can be specified in processing blocks in which a method meth is visible,
where oref contains an object reference to an object that contains the method
as a component. oref can be specified as an existing reference variable or (in suitable operand positions) a
constructor expression with a
constructor operator
NEW
or CAST. The latter is particularly applicable for
standalone method calls.
Alternative 3
... class=>meth ...
Effect
Can be specified in processing blocks in which a
static method meth is visible, where class is one of the classes allowed by the package check, which contains the method as a
static component.
