Predicates

getAPrimaryQlClass	Gets the name of a primary CodeQL class to which this element belongs.
isPrivate	Holds if this member is private.
isProtected	Holds if this member is protected.
isPublic	Holds if this member is public.

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 Class
getACanonicalMember	Gets a member declared in this class, struct or union. If you also want template instantiations of results, see `getAMember()`.	from Class
getACanonicalMemberFunction	Gets a function declared in this class, struct or union. For template member functions, results include only the template. If you also want instantiations of the template, then use `getAMemberFunction()` instead.	from Class

getADeclarationEntry	Gets a declaration entry corresponding to this declaration. See the comment above this class for an explanation of the relationship between `Declaration` and `DeclarationEntry`.	from UserType
getADeclarationLocation	Gets the location of a declaration entry corresponding to this declaration.	from UserType
getADerivation	Gets a class derivation of this class/struct, for example the `public B` in the following code: `class D : public B { ... };`	from Class
getADerivedClass	Gets a class/struct that is directly derived from this class/struct [N4140 10].	from Class

getAFile	Gets a file where this element occurs.	from Declaration
getAFriendDecl	Gets a friend declaration in this class, struct or union.	from Class
getALinkTarget	Gets a link target which references this class, struct or union.	from Class
getAMember	Gets a member declared in this class, struct or union. For template members, this may be either the template or an instantiation of that template. If you only want the template, see `getACanonicalMember()`.	from Class
getAMember	Gets the (zero-based) `index`th canonical member declared in this class, struct or union. If that member is a template, all instantiations of that template. If you only want the canonical member, see `getCanonicalMember(int)`.	from Class
getAMemberFunction	Gets a function declared in this class, struct or union. For template member functions, results include both the template and the instantiations of that template. If you only want the template, then use `getACanonicalMemberFunction()` instead.	from Class
getAMemberVariable	Gets a member variable declared in this class, struct or union. For template member variables, results include both the template and the instantiations of that template. If you only want the template, then use `getACanonicalMemberVariable()` instead.	from Class
getANameQualifier	Gets a name qualifier for which this is the qualifying namespace or user-defined type. For example: class `X` is the `NameQualifyingElement` and `X::` is the `NameQualifier`.	from NameQualifyingElement
getANestedType	Gets a type declared in this class, struct or union.	from Class
getAPrivateCanonicalMember	Gets a private canonical member declared in this class, struct or union. If you also want template instantiations of results, see `getAPrivateMember()`.	from Class

getAProtectedCanonicalMember	Gets a protected canonical member declared in this class, struct or union. If you also want template instantiations of results, see `getAProtectedMember()`.	from Class
getAProtectedMember	Gets a protected member declared in this class, struct or union. For template members, this may be either the template or an instantiation of that template. For just the template, use `getAProtectedCanonicalMember()`.	from Class

getAPublicMember	Gets a public member declared in this class, struct or union. For template members, this may be either the template or an instantiation of that template. For just the template, use `getAPublicCanonicalMember()`.	from Class
getASpecifier		from UserType
getAStaticMember	Gets a static member declared in this class, struct or union.	from Class

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 Type
getAlignment	Gets the alignment of this type in bytes (on the machine where facts were extracted).	from Class
getAnAttribute	Gets an attribute of this type.	from Type
getCanonicalMember	Gets the (zero-based) `index`th member declared in this class, struct or union. If you also want template instantiations of results, see `getAMember(int)`.	from Class
getDeclaringType	Gets the class where this member is declared, if it is a member. For templates, both the template itself and all instantiations of the template are considered to have the same declaring class.	from Declaration
getDefinition	Gets the declaration entry corresponding to this declaration that is a definition, if any.	from UserType
getDefinitionLocation	Gets the location of the definition, if any.	from UserType

getUuid	Gets the UUID that associated with this class, struct or union via the `__declspec(uuid)` attribute.	from Class
getVirtualBaseClassByteOffset	Gets the byte offset of virtual base class subobject `base` within a most-derived object of class `this`. The virtual base can be a direct or indirect virtual base of `this`. Does not hold if `this` is an uninstantiated template. See `ClassDerivation.getByteOffset` for offsets of non-virtual base classes.	from Class
hasConstructor	Holds if this class, struct or union has a constructor.	from Class
hasDeclaringType	Holds if this declaration is a member of a class/struct/union.	from Declaration

hasGlobalOrStdOrBslName	Holds if this declaration has the given name in the global namespace, the `std` namespace or the `bsl` namespace. We treat `std` and `bsl` as the same in some of our models.	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
hasName		from 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
hasSpecifier		from 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& T`, `stripType` returns `C`.	from Type
toString	Gets a textual representation of this element.	from Declaration
