  • Method Details

    • getParameterTypeString

      public static String getParameterTypeString(IFunctionType type)
      Returns a string representation for the parameters of the given function type. The representation contains the comma-separated list of the normalized parameter type representations wrapped in parentheses.

    • getParameterTypeStringAndQualifiers

      public static String getParameterTypeStringAndQualifiers(IFunctionType type)
      Returns a string representation for the parameters and the qualifiers of the given function type. The representation contains the comma-separated list of the normalized parameter type representations wrapped in parentheses followed by the method qualifiers, if any.
      Since:
      5.11

    • functionTakesParameters

      public static boolean functionTakesParameters(IFunction function)
      Returns whether the function matching the given function binding takes parameters or not.
      Since:
      5.1

    • getTypeListString

      public static String getTypeListString(IType[] types)
      Returns a string representation for the type array. The representation is a comma-separated list of the normalized string representations of the provided types.
      See Also:

    • getTypeListString

      public static String getTypeListString(IType[] types, boolean normalize)
      Returns a String representation of the type array as a comma-separated list.
      Parameters:
      types -
      normalize - indicates whether normalization shall be performed
      Returns:
      representation of the type array as a comma-separated list
      Since:
      5.1

    • getArgumentListString

      public static String getArgumentListString(ICPPTemplateArgument[] args, boolean normalize)
      Returns a comma-separated list of the string representations of the arguments, enclosed in angle brackets. Optionally normalization is performed:
      template parameter names are represented by their parameter position,
      further normalization may be performed in future versions.
      Parameters:
      normalize - indicates whether normalization shall be performed
      Since:
      5.1

    • getArgumentString

      public static String getArgumentString(ICPPTemplateArgument arg, boolean normalize)
      Returns a string representation for an template argument. Optionally normalization is performed:
      template parameter names are represented by their parameter position,
      further normalization may be performed in future versions.
      Parameters:
      normalize - indicates whether normalization shall be performed
      Since:
      5.1

    • getParameterTypeStringArray

      public static String[] getParameterTypeStringArray(IFunctionType type)
      Returns an array of normalized string representations for the parameter types of the given function type.
      See Also:

    • getType

      public static String getType(IType type)
      Returns the normalized string representation of the type.
      See Also:

    • getType

      public static String getType(IType type, boolean normalize)
      Returns a string representation of a type. Optionally the representation is normalized:
      typedefs are resolved
      template parameter names are represented by their parameter position
      further normalization may be performed in the future.
      Parameters:
      type - a type to compute the string representation for.
      normalize - whether or not normalization should be performed.
      Returns:
      the type representation of the IType

    • appendType

      public static void appendType(IType type, boolean normalize, StringBuilder result)
      Appends the the result of getType(IType, boolean) to the given buffer.
