ConstructorCallExpression (Groovy 6.0.0-alpha-1)

org.codehaus.groovy.ast.expr.ConstructorCallExpression

All Implemented Interfaces and Traits:

MethodCall
```
public class ConstructorCallExpression
extends Expression
implements MethodCall
```
Represents a constructor call expression. This includes regular object construction (e.g., new MyClass(args)), as well as special constructor calls like this() and super() calls within constructors. The constructor is identified by the type being constructed, and the arguments are wrapped in a TupleExpression. May optionally use an anonymous inner class.
See Also:
MethodCall for the method interface this class implements
TupleExpression for argument representation
ClassNode.THIS for this() constructor calls
ClassNode.SUPER for super() constructor calls

- Constructor Detail
  - public ConstructorCallExpression(ClassNode type, Expression arguments)
    
    Creates a constructor call expression. Arguments are automatically wrapped in a TupleExpression if not already.
    Parameters:
    type - the type being constructed (non-null), or ClassNode.THIS/ClassNode.SUPER for special calls
    arguments - the constructor arguments (may be a single expression or already a TupleExpression)
- Method Detail
  - public Expression getArguments()
    
    Returns the constructor arguments.
    Returns:
    a TupleExpression containing the arguments
  - public String getMethodAsString()
  - public ASTNode getReceiver()
  - public String getText()
  - public boolean isSpecialCall()
    
    Indicates whether this is a special constructor call (this() or super()).
    Returns:
    true if this is a this() or super() call, false for regular constructor calls
  - public boolean isSuperCall()
    
    Indicates whether this is a super() constructor call.
    Returns:
    true if this calls the superclass constructor, false otherwise
  - public boolean isThisCall()
    
    Indicates whether this is a this() constructor call.
    Returns:
    true if this calls another constructor in the same class, false otherwise
  - public boolean isUsingAnonymousInnerClass()
    
    Indicates whether this constructor call uses an anonymous inner class.
    Returns:
    true if an anonymous inner class is being created, false for regular construction
  - public void setUsingAnonymousInnerClass(boolean usage)
    
    Sets whether this constructor call uses an anonymous inner class.
    Parameters:
    usage - true if an anonymous inner class is being used, false otherwise
  - public String toString()
  - public Expression transformExpression(ExpressionTransformer transformer)
  - public void visit(GroovyCodeVisitor visitor)
