## Class SimpleTypeVisitor6<R,P>

- java.lang.Object
- - javax.lang.model.util.AbstractTypeVisitor6<R,P>
  - - javax.lang.model.util.SimpleTypeVisitor6<R,P>

- Type Parameters:
    `R` - the return type of this visitor's methods. Use `Void` for visitors that do not need to return results.
    `P` - the type of the additional parameter to this visitor's methods. Use `Void` for visitors that do not need an additional parameter.
  All Implemented Interfaces:
    TypeVisitor<R,P>
  Direct Known Subclasses:
    SimpleTypeVisitor7, TypeKindVisitor6

      @SupportedSourceVersion(value=RELEASE_6)
      public class SimpleTypeVisitor6<R,P>
      extends AbstractTypeVisitor6<R,P>

  A simple visitor of types with default behavior appropriate for the `RELEASE_6` source version. Visit methods corresponding to `RELEASE_6` language constructs call `defaultAction`, passing their arguments to `defaultAction`'s corresponding parameters. For constructs introduced in `RELEASE_7` and later, `visitUnknown` is called instead.

  Methods in this class may be overridden subject to their general contract. Note that annotating methods in concrete subclasses with `@Override` will help ensure that methods are overridden as intended.

  WARNING: The `TypeVisitor` interface implemented by this class may have methods added to it in the future to accommodate new, currently unknown, language structures added to future versions of the Java™ programming language. Therefore, methods whose names begin with `"visit"` may be added to this class in the future; to avoid incompatibilities, classes which extend this class should not declare any instance methods with names beginning with `"visit"`.

  When such a new visit method is added, the default implementation in this class will be to call the `visitUnknown` method. A new simple type visitor class will also be introduced to correspond to the new language level; this visitor will have different default behavior for the visit method in question. When the new visitor is introduced, all or portions of this visitor may be deprecated.

      Default value to be returned; `defaultAction` returns this value unless the method is overridden.

  - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### SimpleTypeVisitor6

          protected SimpleTypeVisitor6()

      Constructor for concrete subclasses; uses `null` for the default value.

    - #### SimpleTypeVisitor6

          protected SimpleTypeVisitor6(R defaultValue)

      Constructor for concrete subclasses; uses the argument for the default value.
      Parameters:
        `defaultValue` - the value to assign to `DEFAULT_VALUE`

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### defaultAction

          protected R defaultAction(TypeMirror e,
                        P p)

      The default action for visit methods. The implementation in this class just returns `DEFAULT_VALUE`; subclasses will commonly override this method.

          public R visitPrimitive(PrimitiveType t,
                         P p)

      Visits a primitive type. This implementation calls `defaultAction`.
      Parameters:
        `t` - the type to visit
        `p` - a visitor-specified parameter
      Returns:
        the result of `defaultAction`

    - #### visitNull

          public R visitNull(NullType t,
                    P p)

      Visits the null type. This implementation calls `defaultAction`.
      Parameters:
        `t` - the type to visit
        `p` - a visitor-specified parameter
      Returns:
        the result of `defaultAction`

    - #### visitArray
