public interface IASTNodeSelector
Interface for searching nodes in a translation unit. An instance of this interface, responsible for one file contained in a translation-unit, can be obtained using IASTTranslationUnit.getNodeSelector(String).
Since:
5.0
Restriction:
This interface is not intended to be implemented by clients.
Restriction:
This interface is not intended to be extended by clients.

  • Method Details

    • findName

      IASTName findName(int offset, int length)
      Returns the name for the exact given range, or null if there is no such node. Will not return an implicit name.

    • findEnclosingName

      IASTName findEnclosingName(int offset, int length)
      Returns the smallest name enclosing the given range, or null if there is no such node. Will not return an implicit name.

    • findFirstContainedName

      IASTName findFirstContainedName(int offset, int length)
      Returns the first name contained in the given range, or null if there is no such node. Will not return an implicit name.

    • findImplicitName

      IASTImplicitName findImplicitName(int offset, int length)
      Returns the implicit name for the exact given range, or null if there is no such node. Note that there can be more than one implicit name in the same location. The implicit name's parent can be used to get all the names at the location.
      Since:
      5.1

    • findEnclosingImplicitName

      IASTImplicitName findEnclosingImplicitName(int offset, int length)
      Returns the first implicit name enclosing the given range. Note that there can be more than one implicit name in the same location. The implicit name's parent can be used to get all the names at the location.
      Since:
      5.1

    • findNode

      IASTNode findNode(int offset, int length)
      Returns the node for the exact given range, or null if there is no such node.

      For nodes with the same location, macro-expansions (IASTPreprocessorMacroExpansion) are preferred over c/c++-nodes and children are preferred over their parents.

    • findEnclosingNode

      IASTNode findEnclosingNode(int offset, int length)
      Returns the smallest node enclosing the given range, or null if there is no such node.

      For nodes with the same location, macro-expansions (IASTPreprocessorMacroExpansion) are preferred over c/c++-nodes nodes and children are preferred over their parents.

    • findStrictlyEnclosingNode

      IASTNode findStrictlyEnclosingNode(int offset, int length)
      Returns the smallest node strictly enclosing the given range, or null if there is no such node.

      For nodes with the same location, macro-expansions (IASTPreprocessorMacroExpansion) are preferred over c/c++-nodes nodes and children are preferred over their parents.

      Since:
      5.3

    • findFirstContainedNode

      IASTNode findFirstContainedNode(int offset, int length)
      Returns the first node contained in the given range, or null if there is no such node.

      For nodes with the same location, macro-expansions (IASTPreprocessorMacroExpansion) are preferred over c/c++-nodes nodes and children are preferred over their parents.

    • findNodeInExpansion

      IASTNode findNodeInExpansion(int offset, int length)
      Returns the node for the exact given range, or null if there is no such node.

      The method never returns a macro expansion (IASTPreprocessorMacroExpansion) or the name for an expansion. Rather than that the expansion itself is searched for a matching node.

      Since:
      5.1

    • findEnclosingNodeInExpansion

      IASTNode findEnclosingNodeInExpansion(int offset, int length)
      Returns the smallest node enclosing the range, or null if there is no such node.

      The method never returns a macro expansion (IASTPreprocessorMacroExpansion) or the name for an expansion. Rather than that the expansion itself is searched for a matching node.

      Since:
      5.1

    • findFirstContainedNodeInExpansion

      IASTNode findFirstContainedNodeInExpansion(int offset, int length)
      Returns the first node contained in the given expansion, or null if there is no such node.

      The method never returns a macro expansion (IASTPreprocessorMacroExpansion) or the name for an expansion. Rather than that the expansion itself is searched for a matching node.

      Since:
      5.1

    • findEnclosingMacroExpansion

      IASTPreprocessorMacroExpansion findEnclosingMacroExpansion(int offset, int length)
      Returns a macro expansion enclosing the given range, or null.
