Class AdhocCode

java.lang.Object
uk.ac.starlink.ttools.taplint.AdhocCode
All Implemented Interfaces:
ReportCode
public class AdhocCode extends Object implements ReportCode
ReportCode implementation which can be created at runtime. In general, use of this class should be avoided in favour of FixedCode (create as many new enum constants as you want) where possible, so that static determination of possible codes works as well as it can.
