meth( ... ) - Specifying the Method
Syntax
... meth
| oref->meth
| class=>meth
| super->meth ... .
Alternatives:
1. ... meth ... .
2. ... oref->meth ... .
3. ... class=>meth ... .
Effect
These names are used for the to specify methods statically, where meth is
a valid name for the method in the current context. A special case of specifying methods statically
is when they are specified after the pseudo reference super in methods of subclasses.
Note
The name of a method can be the name of the method declared in METHODS, a name composed using the
interface component selector, or an
alias name.
... meth ... .
Effect
Can be specified in method implementations for any method meth of the same
class. In instance methods, meth is a short form of me->meth, where me is the
self reference.
... oref->meth ... .
Effect
Can be specified in processing blocks in which a method meth is visible,
where oref contains an object reference to an object that contains the method
as a component. oref can be specified as an existing reference variable or (in suitable operand positions) a
constructor expression with a
constructor operator
NEW
or CAST. The latter is particularly applicable for
standalone method calls.
... class=>meth ... .
Effect
Can be specified in processing blocks in which a static method meth is visible, where class is one of the classes allowed by the package check, which contains the method as a static component.
