Class Compilation

An invocation of the compiler. Note that more than one file may be compiled per invocation. For example, this command compiles three source files:

gcc -c f1.c f2.c f3.c

Three things happen to each file during a compilation:

The file is compiled by a real compiler, such as gcc or VC.
The file is parsed by the CodeQL C++ front-end.
The parsed representation is converted to database tables by the CodeQL extractor.

This class provides CPU and elapsed time information for steps 2 and 3, but not for step 1.

Import path

import cpp

getAFileCompiled	Gets a file compiled during this invocation.
getAnArgument	Gets an argument passed to the extractor on this invocation.
getArgument	Gets the `i`th argument passed to the extractor on this invocation.
getExtractorCpuSeconds	Gets the amount of CPU time spent processing file number `i` in the extractor.
getExtractorElapsedSeconds	Gets the amount of elapsed time while processing file number `i` in the extractor.
getFileCompiled	Gets the `i`th file compiled during this invocation
getFrontendCpuSeconds	Gets the amount of CPU time spent processing file number `i` in the C++ front-end.
getFrontendElapsedSeconds	Gets the amount of elapsed time while processing file number `i` in the C++ front-end.
getTotalCpuSeconds	Gets the total amount of CPU time spent processing all the files in the front-end and extractor.
getTotalElapsedSeconds	Gets the total amount of elapsed time while processing all the files in the front-end and extractor.
normalTermination	Holds if the extractor terminated normally. Terminating with an exit code indicating that an error occurred is considered normal termination, but crashing due to something like a segfault is not.
toString	Gets a textual representation of this element.
