- Type Parameters:
    `R` - the return type of this visitor's methods. Use `Void` for visitors that do not need to return results.
    `P` - the type of the additional parameter to this visitor's methods. Use `Void` for visitors that do not need an additional parameter.
  All Implemented Interfaces:
    `ElementVisitor<R,​P>`
  Direct Known Subclasses:

      @SupportedSourceVersion(RELEASE_7)
      public abstract class AbstractElementVisitor7<R,​P>
      extends AbstractElementVisitor6<R,​P>

  A skeletal visitor of program elements with default behavior appropriate for the `RELEASE_7` source version.

  WARNING: The `ElementVisitor` interface implemented by this class may have methods added to it in the future to accommodate new, currently unknown, language structures added to future versions of the Java™ programming language. Therefore, methods whose names begin with `"visit"` may be added to this class in the future; to avoid incompatibilities, classes which extend this class should not declare any instance methods with names beginning with `"visit"`.

  When such a new visit method is added, the default implementation in this class will be to call the `visitUnknown` method. A new abstract element visitor class will also be introduced to correspond to the new language level; this visitor will have different default behavior for the visit method in question. When the new visitor is introduced, all or portions of this visitor may be deprecated.

  Since:
    1.7
