Class MoveConstructor

A C++ move constructor [N4140 12.8]. For example the function MyClass in the following code is a MoveConstructor:

class MyClass {
public:
  MyClass(MyClass &&from) {
    ...
  }
};

As per the standard, a move constructor of class T is a non-template constructor whose first parameter is T&&, const T&&, volatile T&&, or const volatile T&&, and either there are no other parameters, or the rest of the parameters all have default values.

For template classes, it can generally not be determined until instantiation whether a constructor is a move constructor. For such classes, MoveConstructor over-approximates the set of move constructors; if an under-approximation is desired instead, see the member predicate mayNotBeMoveConstructorInInstantiation.

    Predicates

    getAPrimaryQlClass

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

    mayNotBeMoveConstructorInInstantiation

    Holds if we cannot determine that this constructor will become a move constructor in all instantiations. Depending on template parameters of the enclosing class, this may become an ordinary constructor or a move constructor.

    Inherited predicates

    accesses

    Holds if this function accesses a function or variable or enumerator a.

    from Function
    accesses

    Holds if this function accesses a function or variable or enumerator a in the Access expression l.

    from Function
    calls

    Holds if this function calls the function f.

    from Function
    calls

    Holds if this function calls the function f in the FunctionCall expression l.

    from Function
    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
    findRootCause

    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
    isCompilerGenerated

    Holds if this function is generated by the compiler.

    from Function
    isCondition

    Holds if this node is the top-level expression of a conditional statement, meaning that this.getATrueSuccessor() or this.getAFalseSuccessor() will have a result.

    from ControlFlowNode
    isConsteval

    Holds if this function is declared to be consteval.

    from Function
    isConstexpr

    Holds if this function is constexpr. Normally, this holds if and only if isDeclaredConstexpr() holds, but in some circumstances they differ. For example, with int f(int i) { return 6; } template <typename T> constexpr int g(T x) { return f(x); } g<int> is declared constexpr, but is not constexpr.

    from Function
    isConstructedFrom

    Holds if this function is constructed from f as a result of template instantiation. If so, it originates either from a template function or from a function nested in a template class.

    from Function

    Holds if this function is declared to be constexpr.

    from Function
    isDeclaredVirtual

    Holds if this function is declared with the virtual specifier.

    Holds if this constructor serves as a default constructor.

    from Constructor
    isDefaulted

    Holds if this function is explicitly defaulted with the = default specifier.

    from Function

    Holds if this function is deleted. This may be because it was explicitly deleted with an = delete definition, or because the compiler was unable to auto-generate a definition for it.

    from Function
    isExplicit

    Holds if this function is declared to be explicit.

    from Function
    isFinal

    Holds if this function is declared with the final specifier.

    from Function
    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.

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

    from Declaration
    isMultiplyDefined

    Holds if this function is defined in several files. This is illegal in C (though possible in some C++ compilers), and likely indicates that several functions that are not linked together have been compiled. An example would be a project with many ‘main’ functions.
