Interface IASTFieldReference

All Superinterfaces:

IASTExpression, IASTInitializerClause, IASTNameOwner, IASTNode

All Known Subinterfaces:

ICPPASTFieldReference

public interface IASTFieldReference
extends IASTExpression, IASTNameOwner

This interface represents expressions that access a field reference. e.g. a.b => a is the expression, b is the field name. e.g. a()->def => a() is the expression, def is the field name.

Field Detail

FIELD_OWNER

static final ASTNodeProperty FIELD_OWNER

FIELD_OWNER represents the relationship between a IASTFieldReference and its IASTExpression field owner.

FIELD_NAME

static final ASTNodeProperty FIELD_NAME

FIELD_NAME represents the relationship between a IASTFieldReference and its IASTName field name.

Method Detail

getFieldOwner

IASTExpression getFieldOwner()

Returns an expression for the object containing the field.

Returns:

the field owner

setFieldOwner

void setFieldOwner(IASTExpression expression)

Sets the expression for the object containing the field.

Parameters:

expression -

getFieldName

IASTName getFieldName()

Returns the name of the field being dereferenced.

Returns:

the name of the field (IASTName)

setFieldName

void setFieldName(IASTName name)

Sets the name of the field.

Parameters:

name - the new name

isPointerDereference

boolean isPointerDereference()

Returns true of this is the arrow operator and not the dot operator.

Returns:

is this a pointer dereference

setIsPointerDereference

void setIsPointerDereference(boolean value)

Sets whether or not this is a pointer dereference (default == no).

Parameters:

value - the new value

copy

IASTFieldReference 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).
