30 /**
31 * A visitor of types, in the style of the
32 * visitor design pattern. Classes implementing this
33 * interface are used to operate on a type when the kind of
34 * type is unknown at compile time. When a visitor is passed to a
35 * type's {@link TypeMirror#accept accept} method, the <tt>visit<i>XYZ</i></tt>
36 * method most applicable to that type is invoked.
37 *
38 * <p> Classes implementing this interface may or may not throw a
39 * {@code NullPointerException} if the additional parameter {@code p}
40 * is {@code null}; see documentation of the implementing class for
41 * details.
42 *
43 * <p> <b>WARNING:</b> It is possible that methods will be added to
44 * this interface to accommodate new, currently unknown, language
45 * structures added to future versions of the Java&trade; programming
46 * language. Therefore, visitor classes directly implementing this
47 * interface may be source incompatible with future versions of the
48 * platform. To avoid this source incompatibility, visitor
49 * implementations are encouraged to instead extend the appropriate
50 * abstract visitor class that implements this interface. However, an
51 * API should generally use this visitor interface as the type for
52 * parameters, return type, etc. rather than one of the abstract
53 * classes.
54 *
55 * @param <R> the return type of this visitor's methods. Use {@link
56 * Void} for visitors that do not need to return results.
57 * @param <P> the type of the additional parameter to this visitor's
58 * methods. Use {@code Void} for visitors that do not need an
59 * additional parameter.
