This commit introduces the following new classes:
- SharedType, which represents the common interface between the
DartType classes in the analyzer and the CFE.
- SharedRecordType, which represents the common interface between the
RecordType classes in the analyzer and the CFE.
- SharedNamedType, which represents the common interface between the
analyzer and CFE representations of a name/type pair.
- SharedUnknownType, which represents the common interface between the
analyzer and CFE representations of the unknown type (`_`).
This allowed three methods to be removed from the
`TypeAnalyzerOperations` class:
- `areStructurallyEqual`, which is replaced by
`SharedType.isStructurallyEqualTo`.
- `asRecordType`, which is no longer needed because `is
SharedRecordType` can be used instead.
- `isUnknownType`, which is no longer needed because `is
SharedUnknownType` can be used instead.
And one method to be removed from the `FlowAnalysisTypeOperations`
class:
- `isSameType`, which is replaced by `operator ==`. (Technically this
could have been done even without introducing a shared class
hierarchy, since `operator ==` is defined in the shared base class
`Object`).
The long term goal is to fill out the shared class hierarchy to cover
other kinds of types (interface types, function types, void, etc.),
and to move most of the shared logic from the analyzer and CFE
DartType class hierarchies into shared code. This should reduce the
risk of implementation skew between the analyzer and CFE, and to
streamline the implementation of future features. Additionally, the
hope is to eventually remove, or drastically simplify, classes like
`TypeAnalyzerOperations`, so that the code in `_fe_analyzer_shared`
can be written in simpler and more straightforward way.
