public class WideningCategories
extends Object

This class provides helper methods to determine the type from a widening operation for example for a plus operation.
To determine the resulting type of for example a=exp1+exp2 we look at the conditions isIntCategory(ClassNode), isLongCategory(ClassNode), isBigIntCategory(ClassNode), isDoubleCategory(ClassNode) and isBigDecCategory(ClassNode) in that order. The first case applying to exp1 and exp2 is defining the result type of the expression.
If for example you look at x = 1 + 2l we have the first category applying to the number 1 being int, since the 1 is an int. The 2l is a long, therefore the int category will not apply and the result type can't be int. The next category in the list is long, and since both apply to long, the result type is a long.
