Predicates

contains

Whether this contains inner syntactically

containsInScope

Whether this contains inner syntactically and inner has the same scope as this

getAChildNode

Gets a child node of this node in the AST. This predicate exists to aid exploration of the AST and other experiments. The child-parent relation may not be meaningful. For a more meaningful relation in terms of dependency use Expr.getASubExpression(), Stmt.getASubStatement(), Stmt.getASubExpression() or Scope.getAStmt().

getAFlowNode

Gets a flow node corresponding directly to this node. NOTE: For some statements and other purely syntactic elements, there may not be a ControlFlowNode

getLocation

Gets the location for this AST node

getParentNode

Gets the parent node of this node in the AST. This predicate exists to aid exploration of the AST and other experiments. The child-parent relation may not be meaningful. For a more meaningful relation in terms of dependency use Expr.getASubExpression(), Stmt.getASubStatement(), Stmt.getASubExpression() or Scope.getAStmt() applied to the parent.

getScope

Gets the scope that this node occurs in

isArtificial

Whether this syntactic element is artificial, that is it is generated by the compiler and is not present in the source

Inherited predicates

toString

Gets a textual representation of this element.
