FunctionOverloadingNode

This class allows to define multiple overloaded versions of the same function. Depending on the parameters of the function call, the node picks the best-fit overloaded version.

Constructor

new FunctionOverloadingNode( functionNodes : Array.<function()>, …parametersNodes : Node )

Constructs a new function overloading node.

functionNodes | Array of Fn function definitions.
---|---
parametersNodes | A list of parameter nodes.

Properties

.functionNodes : Array.<function()>

Array of Fn function definitions.

.global : boolean

This node is marked as global.

Default is true.

Overrides: Node#global

.parametersNodes : Array.<Node>

A list of parameter nodes.

Methods

.getCandidateFn( builder : NodeBuilder ) : FunctionNode

Returns the candidate function for the current parameters.

builder | The current node builder.
---|---

Returns: The candidate function.

.getNodeType( builder : NodeBuilder ) : string

This method is overwritten since the node type is inferred from the function's return type.

builder | The current node builder.
---|---

Overrides: Node#getNodeType

Returns: The node type.

.setup( builder : NodeBuilder ) : Node

Sets up the node for the current parameters.

builder | The current node builder.
---|---

Overrides: Node#setup

Returns: The setup node.
