Module Call

Provides classes for modeling call expressions including direct calls to functions, constructor and destructor calls, and calls made through function pointers.

Imports

Expr	Provides classes modeling C/C++ expressions.
Function	Provides classes for working with functions, including template functions.

Classes

Call	A C/C++ call.
ConstructorBaseInit	A call to a constructor of a base class as part of a constructor’s initializer list or compiler-generated actions.
ConstructorCall	A call to a constructor. `struct S { S(void) {} }; S s;`
ConstructorDelegationInit	A call to a constructor of the same class as part of a constructor’s initializer list, which delegates object construction (C++11 only). `struct S { int a; S(int b): a(b) { } S(): S(0) { } // delegation to another constructor };`
ConstructorDirectInit	A call to a constructor of a direct non-virtual base class as part of a constructor’s initializer list or compiler-generated actions. `struct S { int a; S(int b): a(b) {} }; struct T: S { T(): S(33) {} // S(33) is a constructor call };`
ConstructorFieldInit	An initialization of a member variable performed as part of a constructor’s explicit initializer list or implicit actions. In the example below, member variable `b` is being initialized by constructor parameter `a`: `struct S { int b; S(int a): b(a) {} } s(2);`
ConstructorInit	An initialization of a base class or member variable performed as part of a constructor’s explicit initializer list or implicit actions.
ConstructorVirtualInit	A call to a constructor of a virtual base class as part of a constructor’s initializer list or compiler-generated actions.
DestructorBaseDestruction	A call to a destructor of a base class as part of a destructor’s compiler-generated actions.
DestructorCall	A call to a destructor. `struct S { ~S(void) {} } *s; s->~S();`
DestructorDestruction	A call to a destructor of a base class or field as part of a destructor’s compiler-generated actions.
DestructorDirectDestruction	A call to a destructor of a direct non-virtual base class as part of a destructor’s compiler-generated actions. `struct S { ~S(void) {} }; struct T: S { ~T(void) {} // will call ~S() };`
DestructorFieldDestruction	A destruction of a member variable performed as part of a destructor’s compiler-generated actions. `struct S { ~S(void) {} }; struct T { S s; ~T(void) {} // will call s.~S() };`
DestructorVirtualDestruction	A call to a destructor of a direct virtual base class as part of a destructor’s compiler-generated actions.
ExprCall	A C/C++ call which is performed through a function pointer.
FunctionCall	A C/C++ function call where the name of the target function is known at compile-time.
OverloadedArrayExpr	An instance of a user-defined binary `operator[]` applied to its arguments. `struct T2 { T1 operator[](const T3 &); }; T1 a; T2 b; T3 c; a = b[c];`
OverloadedPointerDereferenceExpr	An instance of a user-defined unary `operator` applied to its argument. `T1 operator(const T2 &); T1 a; T2 b; a = *b;`
OverloadedPointerDereferenceFunction	A user-defined unary `operator*` function.
VacuousDestructorCall	An expression that looks like a destructor call, but has no effect.
VariableCall	A C/C++ call which is performed through a variable of function pointer type. `int call_via_ptr(int (*pfn)(int)) { return pfn(5); }`
