Constructor Detail

FollowSegmentBeginning

protected FollowSegmentBeginning()

Initializes a new instance.

FollowSegmentBeginning

protected FollowSegmentBeginning(@Nonnull
                                 FollowSegmentBeginning existingInstance,
                                 @Nonnull
                                 CopyContext context)

Initializes a new instance as a copy of an existing instance.

See ICloneWithContext.clone(CopyContext) for more information about how to implement this constructor in a derived class.

Parameters:

existingInstance - The existing instance to copy.

context - A CopyContext that controls the depth of the copy.

Throws:

ArgumentNullException - Thrown when existingInstance or context is null.

Method Detail

checkForSameDefinition

protected final boolean checkForSameDefinition(DefinitionalObject other)

Checks to determine if another instance has the same definition as this instance and returns true if it does. Derived classes MUST override this method and check all new fields introduced by the derived class for definitional equivalence. It is NOT necessary to check base class fields because the base class will already have done that. When overriding this method, you should NOT call the base implementation because it will return false for all derived-class instances. Derived classes should check the type of other to preserve the symmetric nature of IEquatableDefinition.isSameDefinition(java.lang.Object).

Specified by:

checkForSameDefinition in class DefinitionalObject

Parameters:

other - The other instance to compare to this one.

Returns:

true if the two objects are defined equivalently; otherwise false.

checkForSameDefinition

protected abstract boolean checkForSameDefinition(FollowSegmentBeginning other)

Checks to determine if another instance has the same definition as this instance and returns true if it does. Derived classes MUST override this method and check all new fields introduced by the derived class for definitional equivalence. It is NOT necessary to check base class fields because the base class will already have done that. When overriding this method, you should NOT call the base implementation because it will return false for all derived-class instances. Derived classes should check the type of other to preserve the symmetric nature of IEquatableDefinition.isSameDefinition(java.lang.Object).

Parameters:

other - The other instance to compare to this one.

Returns:

true if the two objects are defined equivalently; otherwise false.

computeCurrentDefinitionHashCode

protected int computeCurrentDefinitionHashCode()

Computes a hash code based on the current properties of this object. Derived classes MUST override this method and compute a hash code that combines: a unique hash code seed, the base implementation result, and the hash codes of all new fields introduced by the derived class which are used in the FollowSegmentBeginning.checkForSameDefinition(agi.foundation.infrastructure.DefinitionalObject) method.

Overrides:

computeCurrentDefinitionHashCode in class DefinitionalObject

Returns:

The computed hash code.

getIgnoreFinalPropagation

public boolean getIgnoreFinalPropagation()

Gets a value indicating whether the parent FollowSegment should ignore its EndOfFollowSegment (get / set). This would be because the initial state should also be the final state.

getPropagator

@Nonnull
public abstract FollowSegmentBeginningPropagator getPropagator(@Nonnull
                                                                         FollowSegment segment,
                                                                         @Nonnull
                                                                         EvaluatorGroup group)

Creates the evaluator for this initial state strategy of a specific FollowSegment.

Parameters:

segment - The FollowSegment that this is a part of.

group - The EvaluatorGroup to use in making any other evaluators.

Returns:

The fully configured FollowSegmentBeginningPropagator.
