The visitXYZ methods in this * class scan their component elements by calling {@code scan} on * their {@linkplain Element#getEnclosedElements enclosed elements}, * {@linkplain ExecutableElement#getParameters parameters}, etc., as * indicated in the individual method specifications. A subclass can * control the order elements are visited by overriding the * visitXYZ methods. Note that clients of a scanner * may get the desired behavior be invoking {@code v.scan(e, p)} rather * than {@code v.visit(e, p)} on the root objects of interest. * *
When a subclass overrides a visitXYZ method, the * new method can cause the enclosed elements to be scanned in the * default way by calling super.visitXYZ. In this * fashion, the concrete visitor can control the ordering of traversal * over the component elements with respect to the additional * processing; for example, consistently calling * super.visitXYZ at the start of the overridden * methods will yield a preorder traversal, etc. If the component * elements should be traversed in some other order, instead of * calling super.visitXYZ, an overriding visit method * should call {@code scan} with the elements in the desired order. * *
Methods in this class may be overridden subject to their * general contract. Note that annotating methods in concrete * subclasses with {@link java.lang.Override @Override} will help * ensure that methods are overridden as intended. * *
WARNING: The {@code ElementVisitor} interface * implemented by this class may have methods added to it in the * future to accommodate new, currently unknown, language structures * added to future versions of the Java™ programming language. * Therefore, methods whose names begin with {@code "visit"} may be * added to this class in the future; to avoid incompatibilities, * classes which extend this class should not declare any instance * methods with names beginning with {@code "visit"}. * *
When such a new visit method is added, the default
* implementation in this class will be to call the {@link
* #visitUnknown visitUnknown} method. A new element scanner visitor
* class will also be introduced to correspond to the new language
* level; this visitor will have different default behavior for the
* visit method in question. When the new visitor is introduced, all
* or portions of this visitor may be deprecated.
*
* @param the type of the additional parameter to this visitor's
* methods. Use {@code Void} for visitors that do not need an
* additional parameter.
