Class ClassTemplateInstantiation

A class that is an instantiation of a template. For example in the following code there is a MyTemplateClass<int> instantiation:

template<class T>
class MyTemplateClass {
  ...
};

MyTemplateClass<int> instance;

For the MyTemplateClass template itself, see TemplateClass.

    getAPrimaryQlClass

    Gets the name of a primary CodeQL class to which this element belongs.

    getTemplate

    Gets the class template from which this instantiation was instantiated.

    Inherited predicates

    accessOfBaseMember

    Gets the access specifier, if any, that member has when viewed as a member of this, where member may come from a base class of this. Encodes the rules of C++14 11.2/1 and 11.6/1, except that this predicate includes the case of base = this.

    from Class
    accessOfBaseMember

    Gets the access specifier, if any, that a hypothetical member of base would have when viewed as a member of this, given that this member had access specifier fieldInBase. Encodes the rules of C++14 11.2/1 and 11.6/1, except that this predicate includes the case of base = this.

    from Class
    canAccessClass

    Holds if a base class base of derived is accessible at this (N4140 11.2/4). When this holds, and derived has only one base subobject of type base, code in this can implicitly convert a pointer to derived into a pointer to base. Conversely, if such a conversion is possible then this predicate holds.

    from AccessHolder
    canAccessMember

    Holds if a non-static member member is accessible at this when named in a class derived that is derived from or equal to the declaring class of member (N4140 11.2/5 and 11.4).

    from AccessHolder
    couldAccessMember

    Holds if a hypothetical non-static member of memberClass with access specifier memberAccess is accessible at this when named in a class derived that is derived from or equal to memberClass (N4140 11.2/5 and 11.4).

    from AccessHolder
    derivesFrom

    Holds if this class/struct derives directly from that.

    from Class
    explain

    Gets a detailed string representation explaining the AST of this type (with all specifiers and nested constructs such as pointers). This is intended to help debug queries and is a very expensive operation; not to be used in production queries.

    from Class
    findRootCause

    Gets the source of this element: either itself or a macro that expanded to this element.

    from Element
    fromSource

    Holds if this element may be from source. This predicate holds for all elements, except for those in the dummy file, whose name is the empty string. The dummy file contains declarations that are built directly into the compiler.

    from Element
    getABaseClass

    Gets a direct base class/struct of this class/struct [N4140 10].

    from Class
    getABaseClassByteOffset

    Gets the byte offset within this of each base class subobject of type baseClass, or zero if baseClass and this are the same type. Both direct and indirect base classes are included. Note that for virtual base classes, and non-virtual base classes thereof, this predicate assumes that this is the type of the complete most-derived object.

    Gets a static member declared in this class, struct or union.

    from Class
    getATemplateArgument

    Gets a template argument used to instantiate this declaration from a template. When called on a template, this will return a template parameter type for both typed and non-typed parameters.

    from Declaration
    getATemplateArgumentKind

    Gets a template argument used to instantiate this declaration from a template. When called on a template, this will return a non-typed template parameter value.

    from Declaration
    getATypeNameUse

    Gets as many places as possible where this type is used by name in the source after macros have been replaced (in particular, therefore, this will find type name uses caused by macros). Note that all type name uses within instantiations are currently excluded - this is too draconian in the absence of indexing prototype instantiations of functions, and is likely to improve in the future. At present, the method takes the conservative approach of giving valid type name uses, but not necessarily all type name uses.

    from Type

    from Class
    hasConstructor

    Holds if this class, struct or union has a constructor.

    from Class
    hasDeclaringType

    Holds if this declaration is a member of a class/struct/union.

    from Declaration
    hasGlobalOrStdOrBslName

    from Declaration
    hasImplicitCopyAssignmentOperator

    Holds if this class, struct or union has an implicitly-declared copy assignment operator that is not deleted. This predicate is more accurate than checking if this class, struct or union has a CopyAssignmentOperator ca where ca.isCompilerGenerated() since such a CopyAssignmentOperator may not exist in the database if (1) it is never called or (2) it is trivial, meaning that it is equivalent to memcpy.

    from Class
    hasImplicitCopyConstructor

    Holds if this class, struct or union has an implicitly-declared copy constructor that is not deleted. This predicate is more accurate than checking if this class, struct or union has a CopyConstructor cc where cc.isCompilerGenerated() since such a CopyConstructor may not exist in the database if (1) it is never called or (2) it is trivial, meaning that it is equivalent to memcpy.

    from Class
    hasNamefrom UserType
    hasPrivateBaseClass

    Holds if this class/struct has a private class derivation, for example the private B in the following code: class D : private B { ... };

    from Class
    hasProtectedBaseClass

    Holds if this class/struct has a protected class derivation, for example the protected B in the following code: class D : protected B { ... };

    from Class
    hasPublicBaseClass

    Holds if this class/struct has a public class derivation, for example the public B in the following code: class D : public B { ... };

    from Class
    hasQualifiedName

    Holds if this declaration has a fully-qualified name with a name-space component of namespaceQualifier, no declaring type, and a base name of baseName.

    from Declaration
    hasQualifiedName

    Holds if this declaration has a fully-qualified name with a name-space component of namespaceQualifier, a declaring type of typeQualifier, and a base name of baseName. Template parameters and arguments are stripped from all components. Missing components are "".

    from Declaration
    hasSpecifierfrom UserType
    hasVirtualBaseClass

    Holds if this class/struct has a virtual class derivation, for example the virtual public B in the following code: class D : virtual public B { ... };

    from Class
    implicitCopyAssignmentOperatorDeleted

    Holds if the compiler would be unable to generate a copy assignment operator for this class, struct or union. This predicate implements the rules listed here: http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/copy_assignment#Deleted_implicitly-declared_copy_assignment_operator

    from Class
    implicitCopyConstructorDeleted

    Holds if the compiler would be unable to generate a copy constructor for this class, struct or union. This predicate implements the rules listed here: http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/copy_constructor#Deleted_implicitly-declared_copy_constructor

    from Class
    inMemberOrFriendOf

    Holds if this can access private members of class c.

    from AccessHolder
    internal_getAnAdditionalSpecifier

    Internal – should be protected when QL supports such a flag. Subtypes override this to recursively get specifiers that are not attached directly to this @type in the database but arise through type aliases such as typedef and decltype.

    from Type
    involvesReference

    Holds if this type involves a reference.

    from Type
    involvesTemplateParameter

    Holds if this type involves a template parameter.

    from Class
    isAbstract

    Holds if this class/struct is abstract, in other words whether it declares one or more pure virtual member functions.

    from Class
    isAffectedByMacro

    Holds if this element is affected in any way by a macro. All elements that are totally or partially generated by a macro are included, so this is a super-set of isInMacroExpansion.

    from Element
    isAnonymous

    Holds if this type is anonymous.

    from UserType
    isConst

    Holds if this type is const.

    from Type
    isConstructedFrom

    Holds if this class, struct or union is constructed from another class as a result of template instantiation. It originates either from a class template or from a class nested in a class template.

    from Class
    isDeeplyConst

    Holds if this type is constant and only contains constant types. For instance, a char *const is a constant type, but not deeply constant, because while the pointer can’t be modified the character can. The type const char *const* is a deeply constant type though - both the pointer and what it points to are immutable.

    from Type
    isDeeplyConstBelow

    Holds if this type is constant and only contains constant types, excluding the type itself. It is implied by Type.isDeeplyConst() and is just used to implement that predicate. For example, const char *const is deeply constant and deeply constant below, but const char * is only deeply constant below (the pointer can be changed, but not the underlying char). char *const is neither (it is just const).

    from Class
    isFinal

    Holds if this class, struct or union was declared ‘final’.

    from Class
    isFromTemplateInstantiation

    Holds if this Element is a part of a template instantiation (but not the template itself).

    from Element
    isFromUninstantiatedTemplate

    Holds if this Element is part of a template template (not if it is part of an instantiation of template). This means it is represented in the database purely as syntax and without guarantees on the presence or correctness of type-based operations such as implicit conversions.

    from Element
    isInMacroExpansion

    Holds if this element comes from a macro expansion. Only elements that are entirely generated by a macro are included - for elements that partially come from a macro, see isAffectedByMacro.

    from Element
    isLocal

    Holds if this is a local type (that is, a type that has a directly-enclosing function).

    from UserType
    isMember

    Holds if this declaration is a member of a class/struct/union.

    from Declaration
    isPod

    Holds if this class, struct or union is a POD (Plain Old Data) class [N4140 9(10)].

    from Class
    isPolymorphic

    Holds if this class/struct is polymorphic (has a virtual function, or inherits one).

    from Class
    isStandardLayout

    Holds if this class, struct or union is a standard-layout class [N4140 9(7)]. Also holds for structs in C programs.

    from Class
    isStatic

    Holds if this declaration is static.

    from Declaration
    isTopLevel

    Holds if this declaration is a top-level declaration.

    from Declaration
    isVolatile

    Holds if this type is volatile.

    from Type
    refersTo

    Holds if this type refers to type t (by default, a type always refers to itself).

    from Type
    refersToDirectly

    Holds if this type refers to type t directly.

    from Class
    resolveTypedefs

    Gets this type with any typedefs resolved. For example, given typedef C T, this would resolve const T& to const C&. Note that this will only work if the resolved type actually appears on its own elsewhere in the program.

    from Type
    stripTopLevelSpecifiers

    Gets this type after any top-level specifiers and typedefs have been stripped.

    from Type
    stripType

    Gets the type stripped of pointers, references and cv-qualifiers, and resolving typedefs. For example, given typedef const C&amp; T, stripType returns C.

    from Type
    toString

    Gets a textual representation of this element.

    from Declaration
