  • Method Details

    • getKind

      int getKind()
      Returns the kind of the literal expression kind, which can be one of the lk_* constants defined above.

    • getValue

      char[] getValue()
      Returns the value of the literal as char-array.
      Since:
      5.1

    • toString

      String toString()
      Returns the value of the literal as string.
      Overrides:
      toString in class Object
      Since:

    • setKind

      void setKind(int value)
      Sets the kind of the literal expression.

    • setValue

      void setValue(char[] value)
      Sets the value for the expression.
      Since:
      5.1

    • copy

      IASTLiteralExpression copy()
      Description copied from interface: IASTNode
      Returns a mutable copy of the tree rooted at this node. The following postconditions hold: 
       copy.getParent() == null
 copy.getPropertyInParent() == null
 copy.isFrozen() == false
      Preprocessor nodes do not currently support being copied. Implicit name nodes are not copied, instead they can be regenerated if required.

      Calling this method is equivalent to copy(CopyStyle.withoutLocations).

    • copy

      IASTLiteralExpression copy(IASTNode.CopyStyle style)
      Description copied from interface: IASTNode
      Returns a mutable copy of the tree rooted at this node. The following postconditions hold: 
       copy.getParent() == null
 copy.getPropertyInParent() == null
 copy.isFrozen() == false
      Preprocessor nodes do not currently support being copied. Implicit name nodes are not copied, instead they can be regenerated if required.
