- Method Detail
  - clearCaches
```
public static final void clearCaches()
```
    This method is only intended for internal use. It is public because the implementation that needs this is in a different package.

```
public static Type _array(Type memberType)
```
  - _class
```
public static Type _class(String name)
```
    Return a codegen Type representing a class with the given name. This is not bound to a specific Class object until/unless getTypeClass is called.
  - _classGenerator
```
public static Type _classGenerator(ClassGenerator cg)
```
  - type
```
public static Type type(Class cls)
```
    Return the codegen Type that corresponds to the Java (non-generic) Type represented by cls.
  - _void
```
public static Type _void()
```
  - _null
```
public static Type _null()
```
  - _boolean
```

```
  - _float
```
public static Type _float()
```
  - _double
```
public static Type _double()
```
  - _Object
```

```
  - isPrimitive
```
public boolean isPrimitive()
```
  - isArray
```
public boolean isArray()
```
  - memberType
```
public Type memberType()
```
  - size
```
public int size()
```
    Number of 32 bit words occupied by this type if primitive, or 0 if non-primitive.
  - signature
```
public String signature()
```
  - name
```
public String name()
```
  - packageName
```
public String packageName()

  - classInfo
```
public ClassInfo classInfo()
```
  - hashCode
```
public int hashCode()
```
    Overrides:
    
    hashCode in class Object
  - toString
```
public String toString()
```
    Overrides:
    
    toString in class Object
  - equals
```
public boolean equals(Object obj)
```
    Overrides:
    
    equals in class Object
  - hasPrimitiveNarrowingConversionFrom
```
public boolean hasPrimitiveNarrowingConversionFrom(Type t)
```
    Return true iff there is a primitive narrowing conversion from Type t to this type.
  - hasPrimitiveWideningConversionFrom
```
public boolean hasPrimitiveWideningConversionFrom(Type t)
```
    Return true iff there is a primitive widening conversion from Type t to this type.
  - hasReferenceNarrowingConversionFrom
```
public boolean hasReferenceNarrowingConversionFrom(Type t)
```
    Return true iff there is a reference narrowing conversion from Type t to this type.
  - hasReferenceWideningConversionFrom
```
public boolean hasReferenceWideningConversionFrom(Type t)
```
    Return true iff there is a reference widening conversion from Type t to this type.
  - isAssignmentConvertibleFrom
```
public boolean isAssignmentConvertibleFrom(Type t)
```
    Return true iff there is an assignment conversion from Type t to this type.
  - isCastingConvertibleFrom
```
public boolean isCastingConvertibleFrom(Type t)
```
    Return true iff there is a casting conversion from Type t to this type.
  - unaryPromotion
```
public Type unaryPromotion()
```
    Return the type that is a unary promotion of this type.
  - binaryPromotion
```
public Type binaryPromotion(Type t)
```
    Return the type that is the binary promotion of this type and Type t.
  - isMethodInvocationConvertibleFrom
```
public boolean isMethodInvocationConvertibleFrom(Type t)
```
    Return true iff one of the following statements is true:
    1. this.equals( t ) .
    2. There is a widening primitive conversion from Type t to this Type (see JLS 5.1.2).
    3. There is a widening reference conversion from Type t to this Type (see JLS 5.1.4).
    This is similar to Class.isAssignmentCompatibleFrom, but also handles widening primitive conversions. Throws NullPointerException if t == null.
