Constructor Detail

VMConceptualClass

public VMConceptualClass()

Constructor, creates a new conceptual class for use in the virtual machine.

VMConceptualClass

public VMConceptualClass(java.lang.String name)

Constructor, creates a new conceptual class with the specified name for use in the virtual machine.

Parameters:

name - the unique name of the conceptual class

VMConceptualClass

public VMConceptualClass(java.lang.String file,
                         int line)

Constructor, creates a new conceptual class for use in the virtual machine.

Parameters:

file - the name of the file in which the conceptual class is specified

line - the line number at which the definition of the conceptual class starts

VMConceptualClass

public VMConceptualClass(java.lang.String name,
                         java.lang.String file,
                         int line)

Constructor, creates a new conceptual class with the specified name for use in the virtual machine.

Parameters:

name - the unique name of the conceptual class

file - the name of the file in which the conceptual class is specified

line - the line number at which the definition of the conceptual class starts

Method Detail

createInstance

public IVMInstance createInstance(java.lang.String name)

Creates a new conceptual instance with this conceptual class as its parent.

Specified by:

createInstance in interface IVMClass

Parameters:

name - the unique name in the runtime model for the instance.

Returns:

IVMInstance a new ConceptualInstance

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object obj)

Tests whether two VMConceptualClasses are equal. The VM maintains a single instance of any VMConceptualClass with a given FQN in its static model, so the equality check can be reduced to an identity check

Overrides:

equals in class Concept

Parameters:

obj - the Object to be compared for equality

Returns:

true if the two VMConceptualClasses are equal, false otherwise
