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

buildModeNone	Holds if this compilation was compiled using the “none” build mode.
getAFileCompiled	Gets a file compiled during this invocation.
getAnArgument	Gets an argument passed to the extractor on this invocation.
getAnExpandedArgument	Gets an expanded argument passed to the extractor on this invocation.
getArgument	Gets the `i`th argument passed to the extractor on this invocation.
getExpandedArgument	Gets the `i`th expanded 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.
