  - EMPTY_TYPE_ARRAY
```
static final IType[] EMPTY_TYPE_ARRAY
```
  - TYPE_MATCHER
```
static final ASTTypeMatcher TYPE_MATCHER

  - clone
```
Object clone()
```
  - isSameType
```
boolean isSameType(IType type)
```
    Test whether this type is the same as the given one. A typedef is considered to be the same type as it's target type. See ICPPTemplateTemplateParameter.isSameType(IType) or ICPPTemplateTypeParameter.isSameType(IType) for the semantics of comparing template parameters denoting types.
    
    Parameters:
    
    type - can be null.
