Executable class abstract

Abstract base class for executable elements (methods, constructors, functions).

Provides common functionality for inspecting and working with callable elements including parameters, invocation validation, and signature generation.

{@template executable_element_features}

Key Features

• Parameter inspection and validation
• Signature generation
• Invocation argument checking
• Const/var/final determination

Implementations

Typically implemented by:

• MethodElement for class methods
• ConstructorElement for constructors
• FunctionElement for standalone functions

Example Usage

// Get executable element from reflection
final methodElement = classElement.getMethod('calculate');

// Check parameters
if (methodElement.getParameterCount() > 0) {
  final firstParam = methodElement.getParameterAt(0);
  print('First parameter: ${firstParam.getName()}');
}

// Validate arguments
if (methodElement.canAcceptArguments({'x': 1, 'y': 2})) {
  print('Method can accept these named arguments');
}
