Class ControlFlowElement

A program element that can possess control flow. That is, either a statement or an expression.

A control flow element can be mapped to a control flow node (ControlFlow::Node) via getAControlFlowNode(). There is a one-to-many relationship between control flow elements and control flow nodes. This allows control flow splitting, for example modeling the control flow through finally blocks.

Predicates

controlsBlock	Holds if basic block `controlled` is controlled by this control flow element with conditional value `s`. That is, `controlled` can only be reached from the callable entry point by going via the `s` edge out of some basic block ending with this element.
getAControlFlowEntryNode	Gets a first control flow node executed within this element.
getAControlFlowExitNode	Gets a potential last control flow node executed within this element.
getAControlFlowNode	Gets a control flow node for this element. That is, a node in the control flow graph that corresponds to this element.
getAReachableElement	Gets an element that is reachable from this element.
getAssembly	Gets the assembly that this element was compiled into.
getEnclosingCallable	Gets the enclosing callable of this element, if any.
isLive	Holds if this element is live, that is this element can be reached from the entry point of its enclosing callable.
reachableFrom	Holds if the current element is reachable from `src`.
