Annotation Type SemiStrict


@Target({METHOD,TYPE}) @Retention(RUNTIME) public @interface SemiStrict
Annotation applied to a user-defined function that indicates that the function always returns null if one or more of its arguments are null but also may return null at other times.

Compare with Strict:

  • A strict function returns null if and only if it has a null argument
  • A semi-strict function returns null if it has a null argument
