Type Binding, Dependencies, and Line Binding about gumtree HOT 3 CLOSED

Hi!

I am not sure what you mean by "bind types", can you explain it a little further

To find nodes according to lines, you can use the getPos and getEndPos method on trees.

We used JDT because we were familiar with it, but you can integrate JavaParser as well because GumTree is modular in this aspect.

I think what I'm referring to is resolve bindings in JDT.

I couldn't tell if gumtree takes variable types into account when resolving differences.

IE:

• Creating String someVar vs Object someVar
• Calling a function with someVar (as a String vs as something else).

Thanks for your other answers those help a lot!

Hi Loren,

In this case I think the answer is that you cannot resolve binding from GumTree's nodes. However it is possible to do it because nodes have metadata associated to them so you can modify the jdt based parser to inject the binding objects into the node.
