Class PureVirtualFunction

A C++ pure virtual function [N4140 10.4]. For example the first function called myVirtualFunction in the following code:

class A {
public:
  virtual void myVirtualFunction() = 0;
};

class B: public A {
public:
  virtual void myVirtualFunction() {
    doSomething();
  }
};

Predicates

getAPrimaryQlClass

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

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

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
getACallToThisFunction

Gets a call to this function.

from Function

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.

Holds if this function is declared with the virtual specifier.

from Function
isDefaulted

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