ArrayExpression (Groovy 6.0.0-alpha-1)

org.codehaus.groovy.ast.expr.ArrayExpression

```
public class ArrayExpression
extends Expression
```
Represents an array literal or array construction expression. Supports both fixed-size array construction (e.g., new String[3] or new Integer[2][3]) and array initialization with explicit elements (e.g., new String[] { "foo", "bar" }). The expression may be either an initializer-based array or a size-based array, but not both.

- Constructor Detail
  - public ArrayExpression(ClassNode elementType, List<Expression> initExpressions, List<Expression> sizeExpressions)
    
    Constructs an array expression with either size expressions or initializer expressions.
    throws:
    IllegalArgumentException if both initExpressions and sizeExpressions are provided or both are null/empty
    throws:
    IllegalArgumentException if any initializer is not an Expression
    
    Parameters:
    elementType - the base element type of the array (non-null)
    initExpressions - the list of initializer expressions for array elements, or null for size-based construction
    sizeExpressions - the list of size expressions (one per dimension) for fixed-size arrays, or null for initializer-based construction
  - public ArrayExpression(ClassNode elementType, List<Expression> initExpressions)
    
    Creates an array using an initializer list of expressions corresponding to array elements.
    Parameters:
    elementType - the base element type of the array (non-null)
    initExpressions - the list of initializer expressions for array elements (non-null)
- Method Detail
  - public void addExpression(Expression initExpression)
    
    Adds an element to the initializer expressions.
    Parameters:
    initExpression - the expression to add (non-null)
  - public ClassNode getElementType()
    
    Returns the base element type of the array (before array dimensions are applied).
    Returns:
    the element type
  - public Expression getExpression(int i)
    
    Returns the initializer expression at the specified index.
    throws:
    IndexOutOfBoundsException if the index is out of range
    
    Parameters:
    i - the index of the element
    Returns:
    the expression at the specified index
  - public List<Expression> getExpressions()
    
    Returns the list of initializer expressions for array elements.
    Returns:
    a list of initializer expressions (non-null but may be empty for size-based arrays)
  - public List<Expression> getSizeExpression()
    
    Returns the size expressions for each dimension of the array.
    Returns:
    a list with one expression per array dimension (non-null for size-based arrays, null for initializer-based)
  - public String getText()
  - public boolean hasInitializer()
    
    Indicates whether this array is defined by an explicit initializer or by size expressions.
    Returns:
    true if the array has an explicit initializer, false if defined by size expressions
  - public boolean isDynamic()
  - public String toString()
  - public Expression transformExpression(ExpressionTransformer transformer)
  - public void visit(GroovyCodeVisitor visitor)
