All Implemented Interfaces:

NodeMetaDataHandler

public class ThrowStatement
extends Statement

Represents a throw statement that raises an exception. A throw statement evaluates an exception expression and throws the resulting exception object to interrupt normal execution flow and transfer control to an appropriate exception handler.

Constructor Details

ThrowStatement

public ThrowStatement(Expression expression)

Constructs a throw statement with the given exception expression.

Parameters:

expression - the Expression that evaluates to the exception to throw

Method Details

getExpression

public Expression getExpression()

Returns the exception expression to be thrown.

Returns:

the Expression that evaluates to an exception object

setExpression

public void setExpression(Expression expression)

Sets the exception expression to be thrown.

Parameters:

expression - the Expression that evaluates to an exception object

getText

public String getText()

Description copied from class: ASTNode

Returns a human-readable text representation of this AST node. Used for debugging and error messages. Default implementation returns a message indicating the representation is not yet implemented for this node type.

Overrides:

getText in class ASTNode

Returns:

text representation of this node, or placeholder for unimplemented types

visit

public void visit(GroovyCodeVisitor visitor)

Description copied from class: ASTNode

Accepts a code visitor for AST traversal and transformation. Subclasses must implement this method to support visitor pattern-based processing. The visitor pattern enables decoupling of AST structure from processing logic.

Overrides:

visit in class ASTNode

Parameters:

visitor - the GroovyCodeVisitor to process this node
