Constructor Detail

StringLiteral

public StringLiteral(StringValue value)

Create a StringLiteral that wraps a StringValue

Parameters:

value - the StringValue

StringLiteral

public StringLiteral(UnicodeString value)

Create a StringLiteral that wraps any UnicodeString

Parameters:

value - the UnicodeString to be wrapped

StringLiteral

public StringLiteral(java.lang.String value)

Create a StringLiteral that wraps a String

Parameters:

value - the String to be wrapped

Method Detail

getGroundedValue

public StringValue getGroundedValue()

Get the value represented by this Literal

Overrides:

getGroundedValue in class Literal

Returns:

the constant value

getString

public UnicodeString getString()

Get the string represented by this StringLiteral, as a UnicodeString

Returns:

the underlying string

stringify

public java.lang.String stringify()

Get the string represented by this StringLiteral, as a String

Returns:

the underlying string

copy

public Expression copy(RebindingMap rebindings)

Description copied from class: Literal

Copy an expression. This makes a deep copy.

Overrides:

copy in class Literal

Parameters:

rebindings - variables that need to be re-bound

Returns:

a copy of the original literal. Note that the underlying value is not copied; the code relies on the caller treating the underlying value as immutable.
