Interface InvocationNode

All Superinterfaces:
net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.ast.impl.GenericNode<JavaNode>, JavaNode, net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.ast.impl.javacc.JjtreeNode<JavaNode>, MethodUsage, net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.ast.Node, net.sourceforge.pmd.reporting.Reportable, net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.ast.TextAvailableNode, TypeNode
All Known Implementing Classes:
ASTConstructorCall, ASTEnumConstant, ASTExplicitConstructorInvocation, ASTMethodCall
public interface InvocationNode extends TypeNode, MethodUsage
Groups method and constructor call, together, as well as explicit constructor invocation statements, and enum constant declarations. Those last two are included, because they are special syntax to call a constructor.

The arguments of the invocation are said to be in an "invocation context", which influences what conversions they are subject to. It also means the type of the arguments may depend on the resolution of the compile-time declaration of this node.
