      • getParameterTypeString

        public static java.lang.String getParameterTypeString​(IFunctionType type)
        Returns a string representation for the parameters of the given function type. The representation contains the comma-separated list of the normalized parameter type representations wrapped in parentheses.

      • getParameterTypeStringAndQualifiers

        public static java.lang.String getParameterTypeStringAndQualifiers​(IFunctionType type)
        Returns a string representation for the parameters and the qualifiers of the given function type. The representation contains the comma-separated list of the normalized parameter type representations wrapped in parentheses followed by the method qualifiers, if any.

      • functionTakesParameters

        public static boolean functionTakesParameters​(IFunction function)
        Returns whether the function matching the given function binding takes parameters or not.

      • getTypeListString

        public static java.lang.String getTypeListString​(IType[] types)
        Returns a string representation for the type array. The representation is a comma-separated list of the normalized string representations of the provided types.

        Returns a comma-separated list of the string representations of the arguments, enclosed in angle brackets. Optionally normalization is performed:
        template parameter names are represented by their parameter position,
        further normalization may be performed in future versions.
        Parameters:
        normalize - indicates whether normalization shall be performed

        Returns a string representation for an template argument. Optionally normalization is performed:
        template parameter names are represented by their parameter position,
        further normalization may be performed in future versions.
        Parameters:
        normalize - indicates whether normalization shall be performed
