    34 /**
    35  * A simple visitor of types with default behavior appropriate for the
    36  * {@link SourceVersion#RELEASE_6 RELEASE_6} source version.
    37  *
    38  * Visit methods corresponding to {@code RELEASE_6} language
    39  * constructs call {@link #defaultAction defaultAction}, passing their
    40  * arguments to {@code defaultAction}'s corresponding parameters.
    41  *
    42  * For constructs introduced in {@code RELEASE_7} and later, {@code
    43  * visitUnknown} is called instead.
    44  *
    45  * <p> Methods in this class may be overridden subject to their
    46  * general contract.  Note that annotating methods in concrete
    47  * subclasses with {@link java.lang.Override @Override} will help
    48  * ensure that methods are overridden as intended.
    49  *
    50  * <p> <b>WARNING:</b> The {@code TypeVisitor} interface implemented
    51  * by this class may have methods added to it in the future to
    52  * accommodate new, currently unknown, language structures added to
    53  * future versions of the Java&trade; programming language.
    54  * Therefore, methods whose names begin with {@code "visit"} may be
    55  * added to this class in the future; to avoid incompatibilities,
    56  * classes which extend this class should not declare any instance
    57  * methods with names beginning with {@code "visit"}.
    58  *
    59  * <p>When such a new visit method is added, the default
    60  * implementation in this class will be to call the {@link
    61  * #visitUnknown visitUnknown} method.  A new simple type visitor
    62  * class will also be introduced to correspond to the new language
    63  * level; this visitor will have different default behavior for the
    64  * visit method in question.  When the new visitor is introduced, all
    65  * or portions of this visitor may be deprecated.
    66  *
    67  * <p>Note that adding a default implementation of a new visit method
    68  * in a visitor class will occur instead of adding a <em>default
    69  * method</em> directly in the visitor interface since a Java SE 8
    70  * language feature cannot be used to this version of the API since
    71  * this version is required to be runnable on Java SE 7
    72  * implementations.  Future versions of the API that are only required
    73  * to run on Java SE 8 and later may take advantage of default methods
    74  * in this situation.
    75  *
    76  * @param <R> the return type of this visitor's methods.  Use {@link
    77  *            Void} for visitors that do not need to return results.
    78  * @param <P> the type of the additional parameter to this visitor's
    79  *            methods.  Use {@code Void} for visitors that do not need an
    80  *            additional parameter.
