public class VisitorFile
extends Object
Operations on visitor files. These use the reflections capabilities of Java to convert the name of a class to an object of that type.

Constructor Index

o VisitorFile(String)
The string argument is supposed to be the name of a file containing a visitor definition.

Method Index

Creates a visitor object.

Constructors

o VisitorFile 
 public VisitorFile(String f) throws VisitorFileE
The string argument is supposed to be the name of a file containing a visitor definition. We convert the filename to a class name and then attempt to load the class using the forName method.

Throws: VisitorFileE
If the file is not found.

forName

Methods

o makeVisitor 
 public InsVisitor makeVisitor(MachineI mach) throws VisitorFileE
Creates a visitor object. First we try to find a constructor that accepts MachineI objects since every legal visitor should have such a constructor. Next we use that constructor to create a visitor object and return it.

Throws: VisitorFileE
If the file is not a visitor file or a constructor with the right signature cannot be accessed.
