  - asElement
```
Element asElement(TypeMirror t)
```
    Returns the element corresponding to a type. The type may be a DeclaredType or TypeVariable. Returns null if the type is not one with a corresponding element.
    
    参数:
    
    t - the type to map to an element
    
    返回:
    
    the element corresponding to the given type
  - isSameType
```
boolean isSameType(TypeMirror t1,
                   TypeMirror t2)
```
    Tests whether two TypeMirror objects represent the same type.
    Caveat: if either of the arguments to this method represents a wildcard, this method will return false. As a consequence, a wildcard is not the same type as itself. This might be surprising at first, but makes sense once you consider that an example like this must be rejected by the compiler:
```
   List<?> list = new ArrayList<Object>();
   list.add(list.get(0));
 
```
    Since annotations are only meta-data associated with a type, the set of annotations on either argument is not taken into account when computing whether or not two TypeMirror objects are the same type. In particular, two TypeMirror objects can have different annotations and still be considered the same.
    参数:
    
    t1 - the first type
    
    t2 - the second type
    
    返回:
    
    true if and only if the two types are the same
  - isSubtype
```
boolean isSubtype(TypeMirror t1,

    参数:
    
    t1 - the first type
    
    t2 - the second type
    
    返回:

    抛出:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if given an executable or package type
  - isAssignable

    抛出:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if given an executable or package type
  - isSubsignature
```
boolean isSubsignature(ExecutableType m1,
                       ExecutableType m2)
```
    Tests whether the signature of one method is a subsignature of another.

    the null type
  - getNoType
```
NoType getNoType(TypeKind kind)

    返回:
    
    a pseudo-type of kind VOID or NONE

                             TypeMirror superBound)
```

    superBound - the super (lower) bound, or null if none
    
    返回:
    
    a new wildcard
    
    抛出:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if bounds are not valid
  - getDeclaredType
```
DeclaredType getDeclaredType(TypeElement typeElem,
                             TypeMirror... typeArgs)
```
    Returns the type corresponding to a type element and actual type arguments. Given the type element for Set and the type mirror for String, for example, this method may be used to get the parameterized type Set<String>.
    The number of type arguments must either equal the number of the type element's formal type parameters, or must be zero. If zero, and if the type element is generic, then the type element's raw type is returned.
    If a parameterized type is being returned, its type element must not be contained within a generic outer class. The parameterized type Outer<String>.Inner<Number>, for example, may be constructed by first using this method to get the type Outer<String>, and then invoking getDeclaredType(DeclaredType, TypeElement, TypeMirror...).
    
    参数:
    
    typeElem - the type element
    
    typeArgs - the actual type arguments
    
    返回:
    
    the type corresponding to the type element and actual type arguments
    
    抛出:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if too many or too few type arguments are given, or if an inappropriate type argument or type element is provided
  - getDeclaredType
```
DeclaredType getDeclaredType(DeclaredType containing,
                             TypeElement typeElem,
                             TypeMirror... typeArgs)
```
    Returns the type corresponding to a type element and actual type arguments, given a containing type of which it is a member. The parameterized type Outer<String>.Inner<Number>, for example, may be constructed by first using getDeclaredType(TypeElement, TypeMirror...) to get the type Outer<String>, and then invoking this method.
    If the containing type is a parameterized type, the number of type arguments must equal the number of typeElem's formal type parameters. If it is not parameterized or if it is null, this method is equivalent to getDeclaredType(typeElem, typeArgs).
    
    参数:
    
    containing - the containing type, or null if none
    
    typeElem - the type element
    
    typeArgs - the actual type arguments
    
    返回:
    
    the type corresponding to the type element and actual type arguments, contained within the given type
    
    抛出:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if too many or too few type arguments are given, or if an inappropriate type argument, type element, or containing type is provided
  - asMemberOf
```
TypeMirror asMemberOf(DeclaredType containing,
                      Element element)
```
    Returns the type of an element when that element is viewed as a member of, or otherwise directly contained by, a given type. For example, when viewed as a member of the parameterized type Set<String>, the Set.add method is an ExecutableType whose parameter is of type String.
    
    参数:
    
    containing - the containing type
    
    element - the element
    
    返回:
    
    the type of the element as viewed from the containing type
    
    抛出:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if the element is not a valid one for the given type
