  int f() {
    ...
  }
}

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

Predicates

getExpr	Gets the expression ultimately qualified by the chain of name qualifiers. For example, `f()` in `N1::N2::f()`.
getLocation	Gets a location for this name qualifier.
getNameQualifier	Gets the name qualifier that qualifies this name qualifier, if any. This is used for name qualifier chains, for example the name qualifier `N2::` has a name qualifier `N1::` in the chain `N1::N2::f()`.
getQualifiedElement	Gets the element qualified by this name qualifier. For example, `f()` in `N::f()`.
getQualifyingElement	Gets the qualifying element of this name qualifier. For example, `N` in `N::f()`.
toString	Gets a textual representation of this element.

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.	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
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
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.	from NameQualifiableElement
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.	from NameQualifiableElement
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
