BytecodeExpression()Creates a new bytecode expression. |
BytecodeExpression(ClassNode type)Creates a new bytecode expression with the specified type. |

public String |
getText()* Returns a human-readable text representation of this AST node. * Used for debugging and error messages. Default implementation returns a message * indicating the representation is not yet implemented for this node type. * *
|
|
public Expression |
transformExpression(ExpressionTransformer transformer)* Transforms this expression and any nested expressions according to the provided transformer. * This method is called during AST transformation phases and must recursively transform * any nested expressions to support full AST tree transformation. * *
|
|
public abstract void |
visit(org.objectweb.asm.MethodVisitor visitor)Emits bytecode instructions using the provided method visitor. |
|
public void |
visit(GroovyCodeVisitor visitor)* Accepts a code visitor for AST traversal and transformation. * Subclasses must implement this method to support visitor pattern-based processing. * The visitor pattern enables decoupling of AST structure from processing logic. * *

A no-operation bytecode expression that generates no instructions.
Creates a new bytecode expression.
Creates a new bytecode expression with the specified type.
type - the type of the expression* Returns a human-readable text representation of this AST node. * Used for debugging and error messages. Default implementation returns a message * indicating the representation is not yet implemented for this node type. * *
* Transforms this expression and any nested expressions according to the provided transformer. * This method is called during AST transformation phases and must recursively transform * any nested expressions to support full AST tree transformation. * *
transformer - the ExpressionTransformer to apply
*Emits bytecode instructions using the provided method visitor.
visitor - the ASM method visitor to generate bytecode* Accepts a code visitor for AST traversal and transformation. * Subclasses must implement this method to support visitor pattern-based processing. * The visitor pattern enables decoupling of AST structure from processing logic. * *
visitor - the GroovyCodeVisitor to process this node
