PathDescriptor

class PathDescriptor(val packageEntities: Array<String>, val classEntities: Array<String>, val entity: String)(source)

Path Signature

The path signature is the "path" of a method, class or field. It contains the package name, (optinally the parent class name) and the class/method/field name.

The package path is separated by the / character. When we have a parent class, we seperate it with the : character.

For example shake.lang.String would be represented as shake/lang/String. The method shake.lang.String::length would be represented as shake/lang/String:length.

If we have a class like this:

package shake.lang;

class String {
    public int length() {
        return 0;
    }

    class Builder {
        public String build() {
            return "";
        }
    }
}

The method shake.lang.String.Builder::build would be represented as shake/lang/String:Builder:build.
