Fields

name: Arc<str>

fqcn: Arc<str>

params: Arc<[FnParam]>

return_type: Option<Arc<Type>>

Type from annotation (@return / native type hint). None means unannotated. Stored as Option<Arc<Type>> to enable deduplication of common return types (e.g., void, string, mixed, bool) across thousands of methods.

inferred_return_type: Option<Arc<Type>>

Type inferred from body analysis. Stored as Option<Arc<Type>> (8 B) rather than inline Option<Type> (176 B, no niche) — inference is now demand-driven via salsa (inferred_*_return_type_demand), so this field is a rarely/never populated fallback; shrinking it saves ~168 B on every MethodDef.

visibility: Visibility

is_static: bool

is_abstract: bool

is_final: bool

is_constructor: bool

template_params: Vec<TemplateParam>

assertions: Vec<Assertion>

throws: Vec<Arc<str>>

deprecated: Option<Arc<str>>

is_internal: bool

is_pure: bool

location: Option<Location>

docstring: Option<Arc<str>>

Plain-text description from the docblock (text before @tag lines). Used for hover info.

is_virtual: bool

True for methods added via @method docblock annotations. Virtual methods must not be required as concrete interface implementations.

Implementations

impl MethodDef

pub fn effective_return_type(&self) -> Option<&Type>

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for MethodDef

fn clone(&self) -> MethodDef

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for MethodDef

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl<'de> Deserialize<'de> for MethodDef

fn deserialize<__D>(__deserializer: __D) -> Result<Self, __D::Error>

where __D: Deserializer<'de>,

Deserialize this value from the given Serde deserializer.

impl PartialEq for MethodDef

fn eq(&self, other: &MethodDef) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.

impl Serialize for MethodDef

fn serialize<__S>(&self, __serializer: __S) -> Result<__S::Ok, __S::Error>

where __S: Serializer,

Serialize this value into the given Serde serializer.
