Here's the new proposal:
/**
 * Return only type references used in class instance creation.
 * <p>
 * When this flag is set, only {@link TypeReferenceMatch} matches will be
 * returned.
 *</p><p>
 *	Example:
 *<pre>
 * public class Test {
 * 	Test() {}
 * 	static Test bar()  {
 * 		return new <i>Test</i>();
 * 	}
 * }
 *</pre>
 * Searching references to the type <code>Test</code> using this flag in the
 * above snippet will match only the reference in italic.
 * </p><p>
 * Note that array creations are not returned when using this flag.
 * </p>
 * @since 3.4
 * @category limitTo
 */
int CLASS_INSTANCE_CREATION_TYPE_REFERENCE = 0x2000;

Comment 2 Frederic Fusier 2007-12-04 17:28:12 EST

Note that while testing a little bit more this flag, I discovered a problem with parameterized constructor call.

Use following test case
public class Test {
	Test() {}
	<U> Test(U u) {}
	static Test foo() {
		return new <String> Test("");
	}
	static Test bar()  {
		return new Test();
	}
}
and search for all references ("*" string pattern) using this CLASS_INSTANCE_CREATION_TYPE_REFERENCE flag does not return the reference in parameterized constructor call: new <String> Test("")

I'll fix this issue while releasing changes for this bug...
