Enum Class Snippet.Status

java.lang.Object
java.lang.Enum<Snippet.Status>
jdk.jshell.Snippet.Status
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Comparable<Snippet.Status>, Constable
Enclosing class:
Snippet
public static enum Snippet.Status extends Enum<Snippet.Status>
Describes the current state of a Snippet. This is a dynamic property of a Snippet within the JShell state -- thus is retrieved with a query on JShell.

The Status changes as the state changes. For example, creation of another snippet with eval may resolve dependencies of this Snippet (or invalidate those dependencies), or overwrite this Snippet changing its Status.

Important properties associated with Status are: isDefined(), if it is visible to other existing and new snippets; and isActive(), if, as the JShell state changes, the snippet will update, possibly changing Status. An executable Snippet can only be executed if it is in the VALID Status.

Enum Constant Summary

Enum Constant Description
DROPPED
The snippet is inactive because of an explicit call to the JShell.drop(Snippet).
NONEXISTENT
The snippet is inactive because it does not yet exist.
OVERWRITTEN
The snippet is inactive because it has been replaced by a new snippet.
RECOVERABLE_DEFINED
The snippet is a declaration snippet with potentially recoverable unresolved references or other issues in its body (in the context of current JShell state).
RECOVERABLE_NOT_DEFINED
The snippet is a declaration snippet with potentially recoverable unresolved references or other issues (in the context of current JShell state).
REJECTED
The snippet is inactive because it failed compilation on initial evaluation and it is not capable of becoming valid with further changes to the JShell state.
VALID
The snippet is a valid snippet (in the context of current JShell state).

Method Summary

Modifier and Type Method Description
boolean isActive()
Indicates whether the Snippet is active, that is, will a persistent snippet be re-evaluated when a new JShell.eval(String) or JShell.drop(Snippet) that could change its status is invoked.
boolean isDefined()
Indicates whether the snippet is currently part of the defined state of the JShell.
static Snippet.Status valueOf(String name)
Returns the enum constant of this class with the specified name.
static Snippet.Status[] values()
Returns an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared.

Enum Constant Details

VALID

public static final Snippet.Status VALID
The snippet is a valid snippet (in the context of current JShell state). Only snippets with VALID Status can be executed (though not all VALID snippets have executable code).

The snippet is defined (isDefined() == true). If the snippet is a declaration or import (Snippet.Kind.isPersistent()), it is visible to other snippets

The snippet will update as dependents change (isActive() == true), its status could become RECOVERABLE_DEFINED, RECOVERABLE_NOT_DEFINED, DROPPED, or OVERWRITTEN.

RECOVERABLE_DEFINED

public static final Snippet.Status RECOVERABLE_DEFINED
The snippet is a declaration snippet with potentially recoverable unresolved references or other issues in its body (in the context of current JShell state). Only a DeclarationSnippet can have this Status.

The snippet has a valid signature and it is visible to other snippets (isDefined() == true) and thus can be referenced in existing or new snippets but the snippet cannot be executed. An UnresolvedReferenceException will be thrown on an attempt to execute it.

The snippet will update as dependents change (isActive() == true), its status could become VALID, RECOVERABLE_NOT_DEFINED, DROPPED, or OVERWRITTEN.

Note: both RECOVERABLE_DEFINED and RECOVERABLE_NOT_DEFINED indicate potentially recoverable errors, they differ in that, for RECOVERABLE_DEFINED, the snippet is defined.

RECOVERABLE_NOT_DEFINED

public static final Snippet.Status RECOVERABLE_NOT_DEFINED
The snippet is a declaration snippet with potentially recoverable unresolved references or other issues (in the context of current JShell state). Only a DeclarationSnippet can have this Status.

The snippet has an invalid signature or the implementation is otherwise unable to define it. The snippet it is not visible to other snippets (isDefined() == false) and thus cannot be referenced or executed.

The snippet will update as dependents change (isActive() == true), its status could become VALID, RECOVERABLE_DEFINED, DROPPED, or OVERWRITTEN.

Note: both RECOVERABLE_DEFINED and RECOVERABLE_NOT_DEFINED indicate potentially recoverable errors, they differ in that, for RECOVERABLE_DEFINED, the snippet is defined.

DROPPED

public static final Snippet.Status DROPPED
The snippet is inactive because of an explicit call to the JShell.drop(Snippet).

The snippet is not visible to other snippets (isDefined() == false) and thus cannot be referenced or executed.

The snippet will not update as dependents change (isActive() == false), its Status will never change again.

OVERWRITTEN

public static final Snippet.Status OVERWRITTEN
The snippet is inactive because it has been replaced by a new snippet. This occurs when the new snippet added with eval matches a previous snippet. A TypeDeclSnippet will match another TypeDeclSnippet if the names match. For example class X { } will overwrite class X { int ii; } or interface X { }. A MethodSnippet will match another MethodSnippet if the names and parameter types match. For example void m(int a) { } will overwrite int m(int a) { return a+a; }. A VarSnippet will match another VarSnippet if the names match. For example double z; will overwrite long z = 2L;. Only a PersistentSnippet can have this Status.

The snippet is not visible to other snippets (isDefined() == false) and thus cannot be referenced or executed.

The snippet will not update as dependents change (isActive() == false), its Status will never change again.

REJECTED

public static final Snippet.Status REJECTED
The snippet is inactive because it failed compilation on initial evaluation and it is not capable of becoming valid with further changes to the JShell state.

The snippet is not visible to other snippets (isDefined() == false) and thus cannot be referenced or executed.

The snippet will not update as dependents change (isActive() == false), its Status will never change again.

NONEXISTENT

public static final Snippet.Status NONEXISTENT
The snippet is inactive because it does not yet exist. Used only in SnippetEvent.previousStatus for new snippets. JShell.status(Snippet) will never return this Status.

Vacuously, isDefined() and isActive() are both defined false.

Method Details

values

public static Snippet.Status[] values()
Returns an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared.
Returns:
an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static Snippet.Status valueOf(String name)
Returns the enum constant of this class with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this class. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
Parameters:
name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
Returns:
the enum constant with the specified name
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if this enum class has no constant with the specified name
NullPointerException - if the argument is null

isActive

public boolean isActive()
Indicates whether the Snippet is active, that is, will a persistent snippet be re-evaluated when a new JShell.eval(String) or JShell.drop(Snippet) that could change its status is invoked. This is more broad than isDefined() since a Snippet which is RECOVERABLE_NOT_DEFINED will be updated.
Returns:
true if the Snippet is active; otherwise false

isDefined

public boolean isDefined()
Indicates whether the snippet is currently part of the defined state of the JShell. Is it visible to compilation of other snippets?
Returns:
true if the Snippet is defined; otherwise false
