Class Assignment

A common super-class that represents many varieties of assignments.

This does not cover unary assignments such as i++, and initialization of local variables at their declaration such as int i = 0;.

To cover more cases of variable updates, see the classes VariableAssign, VariableUpdate and VarWrite. But consider that they don’t cover array element assignments since there the assignment destination is not directly the array variable but instead an ArrayAccess.

Predicates

getDest	Gets the destination (left-hand side) of the assignment.
getRhs	Gets the right-hand side of the assignment.
getSource	Gets the source (right-hand side) of the assignment.
toString	Gets a printable representation of this expression.

Inherited predicates

getAChildExpr	Gets a child of this expression.	from Expr
getAPrimaryQlClass	Gets the name of a primary CodeQL class to which this element belongs.	from Top
getAnEnclosingStmt	Gets a statement that directly or transitively contains this expression, if any. This is equivalent to `this.getEnclosingStmt().getEnclosingStmt*()`.	from Expr
getBasicBlock	Gets the basic block in which this expression occurs, if any.	from Expr
getCompilationUnit	Gets the compilation unit in which this expression occurs.	from Expr
getControlFlowNode	Gets the `ControlFlowNode` corresponding to this expression.	from Expr
getEnclosingCallable	Gets the callable in which this expression occurs, if any.	from Expr
getEnclosingStmt	Gets the statement containing this expression, if any.	from Expr
getFile	Gets the file associated with this element.	from Top
getHalsteadID	This statement’s Halstead ID (used to compute Halstead metrics).	from Expr
getIndex	Gets the index of this expression as a child of its parent.	from Expr
getKind	Gets the kind of this expression.	from Expr
getKotlinType	Gets the Kotlin type of this expression.	from Expr
getLocation	Gets the source location for this element.	from Top
getNumberOfCommentLines	Gets the number of comment lines that this element ranges over.	from Top
getNumberOfLinesOfCode	Gets the number of lines of code that this element ranges over.	from Top
