Method Detail

handleJoin

boolean handleJoin(T joiningNode)

Parameters:

joiningNode - the node abstraction that was propagated to the same target after this node.

Returns:

true if the join could be handled and no further propagation of the joiningNode is necessary, otherwise false meaning the node should be propagated by the solver.

createJoinKey

JoinHandlingNode.JoinKey createJoinKey()

Returns:

a JoinKey object used to identify which node abstractions require manual join handling. For nodes with equal JoinKey instances #handleJoin(JoinHandlingNode) will be called.

setCallingContext

void setCallingContext(T callingContext)
