Method Details

cast

public static <T> T cast(Object x)

Casts the given object to type T. This static method can be used to avoid "unchecked cast" warnings. Note that a runtime exception is still thrown if the cast is not valid. However, using this method eliminates the use of the @@SupressWarnings annotation, which obfuscates any valid warnings. Note that this method should be used in combination with assertions to assert the right type!

Type Parameters:

T - The type to cast to.

Parameters:

x - the object to cast

Returns:

(T) x;
