IRVariable

Module IRVariable

Provides classes that represent variables accessed by the IR.

Import path


                                import semmle.code.cpp.ir.implementation.aliased_ssa.IRVariable

Imports

IRFunction	Provides the class `IRFunction`, which represents the Intermediate Representation for the definition of a function.
TempVariableTag	Defines the public interface to temporary variable tags, which describe the reason a particular `IRTempVariable` was generated.

Classes

IRAutomaticUserVariable	A user-declared variable that is allocated on the stack. This includes all parameters and non-static local variables.
IRAutomaticVariable	A variable (user-declared or temporary) that is allocated on the stack. This includes all parameters, non-static local variables, and temporary variables.
IRDynamicInitializationFlag	A variable generated to track whether a specific non-stack variable has been initialized. This is used to model the runtime initialization of static local variables in C++, as well as static fields in C#.
IREllipsisVariable	A temporary variable generated to hold the contents of all arguments passed to the `...` of a function that accepts a variable number of arguments.
IRGeneratedVariable	A variable that is not user-declared. This includes temporary variables generated as part of IR construction, as well as string literals.
IRParameter	An IR variable which acts like a function parameter, including positional parameters and the temporary variables generated for `this` and ellipsis parameters.
IRPositionalParameter	An IR variable representing a positional parameter.
IRReturnVariable	A temporary variable generated to hold the return value of a function.
IRStaticUserVariable	A user-declared variable that is not allocated on the stack. This includes all global variables, namespace-scope variables, static fields, and static local variables.
IRStringLiteral	A variable generated to represent the contents of a string literal. This variable acts much like a read-only global variable.
IRTempVariable	A temporary variable introduced by IR construction. The most common examples are the variable generated to hold the return value of a function, or the variable generated to hold the result of a condition operator (`a ? b : c`).
IRThisVariable	A temporary variable generated to hold the `this` pointer.
IRThrowVariable	A temporary variable generated to hold the exception thrown by a `ThrowValue` instruction.
IRUserVariable	A user-declared variable referenced by the IR for a function.
IRVariable	A variable referenced by the IR for a function.
