Predicates

getAPrimaryQlClass

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

Inherited predicates

accessOfBaseMember

Gets the access specifier, if any, that member has when viewed as a member of this, where member may come from a base class of this. Encodes the rules of C++14 11.2/1 and 11.6/1, except that this predicate includes the case of base = this.

from Class
accessOfBaseMember

Gets the access specifier, if any, that a hypothetical member of base would have when viewed as a member of this, given that this member had access specifier fieldInBase. Encodes the rules of C++14 11.2/1 and 11.6/1, except that this predicate includes the case of base = this.

from Class
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
derivesFrom

Holds if this class/struct derives directly from that.

from Class
explain

Gets a detailed string representation explaining the AST of this type (with all specifiers and nested constructs such as pointers). This is intended to help debug queries and is a very expensive operation; not to be used in production queries.

from Struct
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
getABaseClass

Gets a direct base class/struct of this class/struct [N4140 10].

from Class
getABaseClassByteOffset

Gets the byte offset within this of each base class subobject of type baseClass, or zero if baseClass and this are the same type. Both direct and indirect base classes are included. Note that for virtual base classes, and non-virtual base classes thereof, this predicate assumes that this is the type of the complete most-derived object.

from Declaration
getATypeNameUse

Gets as many places as possible where this type is used by name in the source after macros have been replaced (in particular, therefore, this will find type name uses caused by macros). Note that all type name uses within instantiations are currently excluded - this is too draconian in the absence of indexing prototype instantiations of functions, and is likely to improve in the future. At present, the method takes the conservative approach of giving valid type name uses, but not necessarily all type name uses.

from Declaration
hasImplicitCopyAssignmentOperator

Holds if this class, struct or union has an implicitly-declared copy assignment operator that is not deleted. This predicate is more accurate than checking if this class, struct or union has a CopyAssignmentOperator ca where ca.isCompilerGenerated() since such a CopyAssignmentOperator may not exist in the database if (1) it is never called or (2) it is trivial, meaning that it is equivalent to memcpy.

from Class
hasImplicitCopyConstructor

Holds if this class, struct or union has an implicitly-declared copy constructor that is not deleted. This predicate is more accurate than checking if this class, struct or union has a CopyConstructor cc where cc.isCompilerGenerated() since such a CopyConstructor may not exist in the database if (1) it is never called or (2) it is trivial, meaning that it is equivalent to memcpy.

from Class
hasNamefrom UserType
hasPrivateBaseClass

Holds if this class/struct has a private class derivation, for example the private B in the following code: class D : private B { ... };

from Class
hasProtectedBaseClass

Holds if this class/struct has a protected class derivation, for example the protected B in the following code: class D : protected B { ... };

from Class
hasPublicBaseClass

Holds if this class/struct has a public class derivation, for example the public B in the following code: class D : public B { ... };

from Class
hasQualifiedName

Holds if this declaration has a fully-qualified name with a name-space component of namespaceQualifier, no declaring type, and a base name of baseName.

from Declaration
hasQualifiedName

Holds if this declaration has a fully-qualified name with a name-space component of namespaceQualifier, a declaring type of typeQualifier, and a base name of baseName. Template parameters and arguments are stripped from all components. Missing components are "".

from Declaration
hasSpecifierfrom UserType
hasVirtualBaseClass

Holds if this class/struct has a virtual class derivation, for example the virtual public B in the following code: class D : virtual public B { ... };

from Class
implicitCopyAssignmentOperatorDeleted

Holds if the compiler would be unable to generate a copy assignment operator for this class, struct or union. This predicate implements the rules listed here: http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/copy_assignment#Deleted_implicitly-declared_copy_assignment_operator

from Class
implicitCopyConstructorDeleted

Holds if the compiler would be unable to generate a copy constructor for this class, struct or union. This predicate implements the rules listed here: http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/copy_constructor#Deleted_implicitly-declared_copy_constructor

from Class
inMemberOrFriendOf

Holds if this can access private members of class c.

from AccessHolder
internal_getAnAdditionalSpecifier

Internal – should be protected when QL supports such a flag. Subtypes override this to recursively get specifiers that are not attached directly to this @type in the database but arise through type aliases such as typedef and decltype.

from Type
involvesReference

Holds if this type involves a reference.

from Type
involvesTemplateParameter

Holds if this type involves a template parameter.

from Class
isAbstract

Holds if this class/struct is abstract, in other words whether it declares one or more pure virtual member functions.

from Class
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
isAnonymous

Holds if this type is anonymous.

from UserType
isConst

Holds if this type is const.

from Type
isConstructedFrom

Holds if this class, struct or union is constructed from another class as a result of template instantiation. It originates either from a class template or from a class nested in a class template.

from Class
isDeeplyConst

Holds if this type is constant and only contains constant types. For instance, a char *const is a constant type, but not deeply constant, because while the pointer can’t be modified the character can. The type const char *const* is a deeply constant type though - both the pointer and what it points to are immutable.

from Type
isDeeplyConstBelow

Holds if this type is constant and only contains constant types, excluding the type itself. It is implied by Type.isDeeplyConst() and is just used to implement that predicate. For example, const char *const is deeply constant and deeply constant below, but const char * is only deeply constant below (the pointer can be changed, but not the underlying char). char *const is neither (it is just const).

from Struct
isFinal

Holds if this class, struct or union was declared ‘final’.

from Class
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
isLocal

Holds if this is a local type (that is, a type that has a directly-enclosing function).

from UserType
isMember

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

from Declaration
isPod

Holds if this class, struct or union is a POD (Plain Old Data) class [N4140 9(10)].

from Class
isPolymorphic

Holds if this class/struct is polymorphic (has a virtual function, or inherits one).

from Class
isStandardLayout

Holds if this class, struct or union is a standard-layout class [N4140 9(7)]. Also holds for structs in C programs.

from Class
isStatic

Holds if this declaration is static.

from Declaration
isTopLevel

Holds if this declaration is a top-level declaration.

from Declaration
isVolatile

Holds if this type is volatile.

from Type
refersTo

Holds if this type refers to type t (by default, a type always refers to itself).

from Type
refersToDirectly

Holds if this type refers to type t directly.

from Class
resolveTypedefs

Gets this type with any typedefs resolved. For example, given typedef C T, this would resolve const T& to const C&. Note that this will only work if the resolved type actually appears on its own elsewhere in the program.

from Type
stripTopLevelSpecifiers

Gets this type after any top-level specifiers and typedefs have been stripped.

from Type
stripType

Gets the type stripped of pointers, references and cv-qualifiers, and resolving typedefs. For example, given typedef const C&amp; T, stripType returns C.

from Type
toString

Gets a textual representation of this element.
