Matches casts that are implicit to the code; that is, not explicitly stated.
This pattern only matches nodes of type expression.
Properties
castOperatorImplicit produces a record that contains the following properties:
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
kind |
enum castKind |
Always `implicit`; see castKind
|
operandExpression |
expression |
The expression being cast |
Inherits properties from:
Example
For the following snippet of Java:
Object o = "Example";
... there is an implicit cast between the string literal and the class Object. To detect such
a cast, you could use the following CodeXM pattern:
pattern implicitCastFromString {
castOperatorImplicit {
.operandExpression == expression {
.type == classType { .simpleName == "String"}
}
}
};
