CodeQL library for C/C++

Module Element

Provides the Element class, which is the base class for all classes representing C or C++ program elements.

Import path

import semmle.code.cpp.Element

Imports

Provides classes and predicates for locations in the source code.

Predicates

mkElement	Get the `Element` that represents this `@element`. Normally this will simply be a cast of `e`, but sometimes it is not. For example, for an incomplete struct `e` the result may be a complete struct with the same name.
underlyingElement	INTERNAL: Do not use.
unresolveElement	INTERNAL: Do not use.

Classes

Element	A C/C++ element. This class is the base class for all C/C++ elements, such as functions, classes, expressions, and so on.
ElementBase	A C/C++ element with no member predicates other than `toString`. Not for general use. This class does not define a location, so classes wanting to change their location without affecting other classes can extend `ElementBase` instead of `Element` to create a new rootdef for `getURL`, `getLocation`, or `hasLocationInfo`.
StaticAssert	A C++11 `static_assert` or C11 `_Static_assert` construct.
