Field Detail

DIRECT_ON_SET

protected static final java.lang.Object DIRECT_ON_SET

If value==DIRECT_ON_SET, break indirection on a set.

INDIRECT_FLUIDS

protected static final java.lang.Object INDIRECT_FLUIDS

If value has this value, force indirection even for the setWithSave operation. Ignoring the restore aspect of a fluid-let, it is normally treated as closer to a define than to a set, in that we break the sharing with another Environment. Setting value to INDIRECT_FLUIDS means we do not want to break the indirection in this case.

base

protected Location<T> base

If non-null, operations are forwarded to the base location.

value

protected java.lang.Object value

If base is null, the current value stored in this Location. If base is non-null, then value is generally ignored. However, the special value DIRECT_ON_SET means that writes change value directly, instead of setting the value of base.
