- org.revapi.java.spi.CheckBase

All Implemented Interfaces:

org.revapi.configuration.Configurable, Check
```
public abstract class CheckBase
extends Object
implements Check
```
A basic implementation of the Check interface. This class easies the matching of the visit*() methods and their corresponding visitEnd() by keeping track of the "depth" individual calls (see the recursive nature of the call order).
This class also contains a couple of utility methods for checking the accessibility of elements, etc.

Since:

Method Detail

isDescendingOnNonExisting
```
public boolean isDescendingOnNonExisting()
```
The default implementation returns false, because that is the right decision most of the time.

Specified by:

isDescendingOnNonExisting in interface Check

Returns:

false

isBothPrivate
```
public boolean isBothPrivate(@Nullable
                             JavaModelElement a,
                             @Nullable
                             JavaModelElement b)
```
Checks whether both provided elements are (package) private. If one of them is null, the fact cannot be determined and therefore this method would return false.

Parameters:

a - first element

b - second element

Returns:

true if both elements are not null and are private or package private

isBothAccessible
```
public boolean isBothAccessible(@Nullable
                                JavaModelElement a,
                                @Nullable
                                JavaModelElement b)
```
Checks whether both provided elements are public or protected. If one at least one of them is null, the method returns false, because the accessibility cannot be truthfully detected in that case.

Parameters:

a - first element

b - second element

Returns:

true if both elements are not null and accessible (i.e. public or protected)

isAccessible
```
public boolean isAccessible(@Nonnull
                            JavaModelElement e)
```
This method checks that the provided element and all its parent elements are accessible (public or protected). Additionally, if the provided element is a type, it must be in API or, if it is not a type, its nearest enclosing type must be in API.

Parameters:

e - the element to check

Returns:

true if the provided element is accessible and in API, false otherwise.

isMissing
```
public boolean isMissing(@Nonnull
                         Element e)
```
The element is deemed missing if its type kind (TypeMirror.getKind()) is TypeKind.ERROR.

Parameters:

e - the element

Returns:

true if the element is missing, false otherwise

                                                        Object... context)

If called in one of the doVisit*() methods, this method will push the elements along with some contextual data onto an internal stack.

You can then retrieve the contents on the top of the stack in your doEnd() override by calling the popIfActive() method.

Type Parameters:: T - the type of the elements
Parameters:: oldElement - the old API element; newElement - the new API element; context - optional contextual data

popIfActive
```
@Nullable
protected <T extends JavaElement> CheckBase.ActiveElements<T> popIfActive()
```
Pops the top of the stack of active elements if the current position in the call stack corresponds to the one that pushed the active elements.
This method does not do any type checks, so take care to retrieve the elements with the same types used to push to them onto the stack.

Type Parameters:

T - the type of the elements

Returns:

the active elements or null if the current call stack did not push any active elements onto the stack

peekLastActive
```
@Nullable
protected CheckBase.ActiveElements<?> peekLastActive()
```
Returns:

the last activation. This can be called at any point and can refer to any of the enclosing elements of the currently processed element pair, depending on how this check activated them.
