Instance Method Detail

def body : Nop #

Returns the body of this type definition.

Currently this is always aNop, because annotation definitions cannot contain anything at all.


def kind : MacroId #

Returns the keyword used to define this type.

ForAnnotationDef this is alwaysannotation.


def name(*, generic_args : BoolLiteral = true) : Path #

Returns the name of this type definition.

generic_args has no effect. It exists solely to match the interface of other related AST nodes.
