- ## Method Details

  - ### getWrapperClass

    protected static Class<?> getWrapperClass​(Class<?> c)
    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​(Class<?> argumentClass, Class<?> parameterClass)
    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 MethodType replaceWithMoreSpecificType​(Object[] args, MethodType callSiteType)
    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​(Class<?> x)

  - ### isLongCategory

    protected static boolean isLongCategory​(Class<?> x)

  - ### isBigDecCategory

    protected static boolean isBigDecCategory​(Class<?> x)

  - ### isDoubleCategory

    protected static boolean isDoubleCategory​(Class<?> x)
