EMPTY_ARRAY

static final IIndexName[] EMPTY_ARRAY

Method Detail

getFile

IIndexFile getFile()
            throws org.eclipse.core.runtime.CoreException

Returns the file the name belongs to.

Throws:

org.eclipse.core.runtime.CoreException

getNodeOffset

int getNodeOffset()

Returns the character offset of the location of the name.

getNodeLength

int getNodeLength()

Returns the length of the name.

getEnclosingDefinition

IIndexName getEnclosingDefinition()
                           throws org.eclipse.core.runtime.CoreException

Returns the name of the definition that contains this name. May return null. Currently this is implemented for function and method definitions, only.

Throws:

org.eclipse.core.runtime.CoreException

getEnclosedNames

IIndexName[] getEnclosedNames()
                       throws org.eclipse.core.runtime.CoreException

Returns the names of the references contained in this definition. Returns null, if the name is not a definition. Currently the method works with function definitions, only.

Throws:

org.eclipse.core.runtime.CoreException

isBaseSpecifier

boolean isBaseSpecifier()
                 throws org.eclipse.core.runtime.CoreException

Returns whether a declaration is a base-class specifier.

Throws:

org.eclipse.core.runtime.CoreException

couldBePolymorphicMethodCall

boolean couldBePolymorphicMethodCall()
                              throws org.eclipse.core.runtime.CoreException

Returns whether this name potentially denotes a polymorphic method call. This is the case when the name is not qualified and denotes a method call and the method is accessed via a pointer or a reference to an object.

No checks are performed whether the method is actually virtual or not.

Throws:

org.eclipse.core.runtime.CoreException

isPotentialMatch

boolean isPotentialMatch()
                  throws org.eclipse.core.runtime.CoreException

Returns whether this name is a potential match for its binding, rather than an exact match. An example of a potential match might be a function definition that does match a declaration exactly in signature.

Throws:

org.eclipse.core.runtime.CoreException

Since:

6.5

isInlineNamespaceDefinition

boolean isInlineNamespaceDefinition()
                             throws org.eclipse.core.runtime.CoreException

Returns whether this name specifies an inline namespace.

Throws:

org.eclipse.core.runtime.CoreException

Since:

5.3

isReadAccess

boolean isReadAccess()
              throws org.eclipse.core.runtime.CoreException

Returns whether this name is a read-reference to a variable or field. The notion of a read-reference may not strictly reflect what your compiler generates, heuristics may be used.

For pointers and arrays the access to the pointer itself is tracked, rather than considering the target of the pointer.

Throws:

org.eclipse.core.runtime.CoreException

isWriteAccess

boolean isWriteAccess()
               throws org.eclipse.core.runtime.CoreException

Returns whether this name is a write-reference to a variable or field. The notion of a write-reference may not strictly reflect what your compiler generates, heuristics may be used.

For pointers and arrays the access to the pointer itself is tracked, rather than considering the target of the pointer.

Throws:

org.eclipse.core.runtime.CoreException
