- ## Method Details

  - ### getWrapperClass

    protected static java.lang.Class<?> getWrapperClass​(java.lang.Class<?> c)
    Deprecated.
    Get wrapper class for a given class. If the class is for a primitive number type, then the wrapper class will be returned. If it is no primitive number type, we return the class itself.

  - ### argumentClassIsParameterClass

    protected static boolean argumentClassIsParameterClass​(java.lang.Class<?> argumentClass, java.lang.Class<?> parameterClass)
    Deprecated.
    Realizes an unsharp equal for the class. In general we return true if the provided arguments are the same. But we will also return true if our argument class is a wrapper for the parameter class. For example the parameter is an int and the argument class is a wrapper.

  - ### replaceWithMoreSpecificType

    protected static java.lang.invoke.MethodType replaceWithMoreSpecificType​(java.lang.Object[] args, java.lang.invoke.MethodType callSiteType)
    Deprecated.
    Replaces the types in the callSiteType parameter if more specific types given through the arguments. This is in general the case, unless the argument is null.

  - ### isIntCategory

    protected static boolean isIntCategory​(java.lang.Class<?> x)
    Deprecated.

  - ### isLongCategory

    protected static boolean isLongCategory​(java.lang.Class<?> x)
    Deprecated.

  - ### isBigDecCategory

    protected static boolean isBigDecCategory​(java.lang.Class<?> x)
    Deprecated.

  - ### isDoubleCategory

    protected static boolean isDoubleCategory​(java.lang.Class<?> x)
    Deprecated.
