Class NameQualifiableElement

A C++ element that can be qualified with a name. This is in practice either an expression or a name qualifier. For example, there are two name-qualifiable elements in the following code, the expression f() (which is qualified by N::), and the qualifier N:: (which is not itself qualified in this example):

namespace N {
  int f() {
    ...
  }
}

int g() {
  return N::f();
}

Predicates

getNameQualifier	Gets the name qualifier associated with this element. For example, the name qualifier of `N::f()` is `N`.
hasGlobalQualifiedName	Holds if this element has a globally qualified name. For example, `::x` is globally qualified. It is used to refer to `x` in the global namespace.
hasSuperQualifiedName	Holds if this element has a `__super`-qualified name. For example: `__super::get()`. Note: `__super` is non-standard C++ extension, only supported by some C++ compilers.

Inherited predicates

findRootCause	Gets the source of this element: either itself or a macro that expanded to this element.	from Element
fromLibrary	Holds if this element may be from a library.	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
getAPrimaryQlClass	Gets the name of a primary CodeQL class to which this element belongs.	from ElementBase
getCanonicalQLClass	DEPRECATED: use `getAPrimaryQlClass` instead.	from ElementBase
getEnclosingElement	Gets the closest `Element` enclosing this one.	from Element
getFile	Gets the primary file where this element occurs.	from Element
getLocation	Gets the primary location of this element.	from Element
getParentScope	Gets the parent scope of this `Element`, if any. A scope is a `Type` (`Class` / `Enum`), a `Namespace`, a `BlockStmt`, a `Function`, or certain kinds of `Statement`.	from Element
isAffectedByMacro	Holds if this element is affected in any way by a macro. All elements that are totally or partially generated by a macro are included, so this is a super-set of `isInMacroExpansion`.	from Element
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`.	from Element
toString	Gets a textual representation of this element.	from ElementBase
