class Prism::ForwardingSuperNode

def initialize: (BlockNode? block, Location location) -> void

# File prism/node.rb, line 7432
def initialize(source, block, location)
  @source = source
  @location = location
  @block = block
end

Similar to type, this method returns a symbol that you can use for splitting on the type of the node without having to do a long === chain. Note that like type, it will still be slower than using == for a single class, but should be faster in a case statement or an array comparison.

def self.type: () -> Symbol

# File prism/node.rb, line 7505
def self.type
  :forwarding_super_node
end

Implements case-equality for the node. This is effectively == but without comparing the value of locations. Locations are checked only for presence.

# File prism/node.rb, line 7511
def ===(other)
  other.is_a?(ForwardingSuperNode) &&
    (block === other.block)
end

def accept: (Visitor visitor) -> void

# File prism/node.rb, line 7439
def accept(visitor)
  visitor.visit_forwarding_super_node(self)
end

def child_nodes: () -> Array[nil | Node]

# File prism/node.rb, line 7444
def child_nodes
  [block]
end

def comment_targets: () -> Array[Node | Location]

# File prism/node.rb, line 7456
def comment_targets
  [*block] #: Array[Prism::node | Location]
end

def compact_child_nodes: () -> Array

# File prism/node.rb, line 7449
def compact_child_nodes
  compact = [] #: Array[Prism::node]
  compact << block if block
  compact
end

def copy: (?block: BlockNode?, ?location: Location) -> ForwardingSuperNode

# File prism/node.rb, line 7461
def copy(block: self.block, location: self.location)
  ForwardingSuperNode.new(source, block, location)
end

def deconstruct_keys: (Array keys) -> { block: BlockNode?, location: Location }

# File prism/node.rb, line 7469
def deconstruct_keys(keys)
  { block: block, location: location }
end

def inspect -> String

# File prism/node.rb, line 7477

Sometimes you want to check an instance of a node against a list of classes to see what kind of behavior to perform. Usually this is done by calling ‘[cls1, cls2].include?(node.class)` or putting the node into a case statement and doing `case node; when cls1; when cls2; end`. Both of these approaches are relatively slow because of the constant lookups, method calls, and/or array allocations.

Instead, you can call type, which will return to you a symbol that you can use for comparison. This is faster than the other approaches because it uses a single integer comparison, but also because if you’re on CRuby you can take advantage of the fact that case statements with all symbol keys will use a jump table.
