All Implemented Interfaces:

Event

Direct Known Subclasses:

ContainerCreated, NamespaceChanged, SignatureChanged, StructureChanged

public class CompileRequired

extends ContainerEvent

Signals that a container needs to be recompiled.

This is a generalization for other events, such as StructureChanged and SignatureChanged, which require recompilation but convey more specific information. This class also works alone for forcing recompilation of a conatiner without signaling any changes to it.

CompileEvents can propagate other compile events. For example, if the name of a parameter of a function changes, the structure change in the parameter propagates a signature change in the parameter, which in turn propagates a signature change in the function, which might require recompilation of a class of which the function is a member.
