  - ### Method Detail

    - #### public static LinkedHashSet<ClassNode> collectAllInterfacesReverseOrder(ClassNode cNode, LinkedHashSet<ClassNode> interfaces)

      Collects all interfaces of a class node, but reverses the order of the declaration of direct interfaces of this class node. This is used to make sure a trait implementing A,B where both A and B have the same method will take the method from B (latest), aligning the behavior with categories.

      Parameters:
        `cNode` - a class node
        `interfaces` - ordered set of interfaces

    - #### public static LinkedHashSet<ClassNode> collectSelfTypes(ClassNode receiver, LinkedHashSet<ClassNode> selfTypes)

      Collects all the self types that a type should extend or implement, given the traits is implements. Collects from interfaces and superclasses too.

      Parameters:
        `receiver` - a class node that may implement a trait
        `selfTypes` - a collection where the list of self types will be written
      Returns:
        the selfTypes collection itself
      Since:
        2.4.0

    - #### public static LinkedHashSet<ClassNode> collectSelfTypes(ClassNode receiver, LinkedHashSet<ClassNode> selfTypes, boolean checkInterfaces, boolean checkSuper)

      Collects all the self types that a type should extend or implement, given the traits is implements.

      Parameters:
        `receiver` - a class node that may implement a trait
        `selfTypes` - a collection where the list of self types will be written
        `checkInterfaces` - should the interfaces that the node implements be collected too
        `checkSuper` - should we collect from the superclass too
      Returns:
        the selfTypes collection itself
      Since:
        2.4.0

    - #### public static String[] decomposeSuperCallName(String origName)

      Returns the name of a method without the super trait specific prefix. If the method name doesn't correspond to a super trait method call, the result will be null.

      Parameters:
        `origName` - the name of a method
      Returns:
        null if the name doesn't start with the super trait prefix, otherwise the name without the prefix

    - #### public static ClassNode findFieldHelper(ClassNode trait)

    - #### public static ClassNode findHelper(ClassNode trait)

    - #### public static ClassNode findStaticFieldHelper(ClassNode trait)

    - #### public static List<ClassNode> findTraits(ClassNode cNode)

      Find all traits associated with the given classnode

      Parameters:
        `cNode` - the given classnode
      Returns:
        the list of ordered trait classnodes

    - #### <T> @SuppressWarnings("unchecked") public static T getAsType(Object self, Class<T> clazz)

      Converts a class implementing some trait into a target class. If the trait is a dynamic proxy and that the target class is assignable to the target object of the proxy, then the target object is returned. Otherwise, falls back to DefaultGroovyMethods.asType

      Parameters:
        `self` - an object to be coerced to some class
        `clazz` - the class to be coerced to
      Returns:
        the object coerced to the target class, or the proxy instance if it is compatible with the target class.

    - #### public static Method getBridgeMethodTarget(Method someMethod)

      Reflection API to find the method corresponding to the default implementation of a trait, given a bridge method.

      Parameters:
        `someMethod` - a method node
      Returns:
        null if it is not a method implemented in a trait. If it is, returns the method from the trait class.

    - #### public static boolean hasDefaultImplementation(MethodNode method)

      Indicates whether a method in a trait interface has a default implementation.

      Parameters:
        `method` - a method node
      Returns:
        true if the method has a default implementation in the trait

    - #### public static boolean hasDefaultImplementation(Method method)

      Indicates whether a method in a trait interface has a default implementation.

      Parameters:
        `method` - a method node
      Returns:
        true if the method has a default implementation in the trait

    - #### public static boolean isAnnotatedWithTrait(ClassNode cNode)

      Returns true if the specified class node is annotated with the Trait interface.

      Parameters:
        `cNode` - a class node
      Returns:
        true if the specified class node is annotated with the Trait interface.

    - #### public static boolean isBridgeMethod(Method someMethod)

      Reflection API to indicate whether some method is a bridge method to the default implementation of a trait.

      Parameters:
        `someMethod` - a method node
      Returns:
        null if it is not a method implemented in a trait. If it is, returns the method from the trait class.

    - #### public static boolean isTrait(ClassNode cNode)

      Returns true if the specified class node is a trait.

      Parameters:
        `cNode` - a class node to test
      Returns:
        true if the classnode represents a trait

    - #### public static boolean isTrait(Class<?> clazz)

      Returns true if the specified class is a trait.

      Parameters:
        `clazz` - a class to test
      Returns:
        true if the classnode represents a trait
