Interface IASTFieldReference

All Superinterfaces:

IASTExpression, IASTNameOwner, IASTNode

All Known Subinterfaces:

ICPPASTFieldReference

public interface IASTFieldReference
extends IASTExpression, IASTNameOwner

This interface represents expressions that access a field reference. e.g. a.b => a is the expression, b is the field name. e.g. a()->def => a() is the expression, def is the field name.

Field Summary

static ASTNodeProperty	FIELD_NAME FIELD_NAME represents the relationship between a IASTFieldReference and its IASTName field name.
static ASTNodeProperty	FIELD_OWNER FIELD_OWNER represents the relationship between a IASTFieldReference and its IASTExpression field owner.

Method Summary

IASTName	getFieldName() This returns the name of the field being dereferenced.
IASTExpression	getFieldOwner() This returns an expression for the object containing the field.
boolean	isPointerDereference() This returns true of this is the arrow operator and not the dot operator.
void	setFieldName(IASTName name) Set the name of the field.
void	setFieldOwner(IASTExpression expression) Set the expression for the object containing the field.
void	setIsPointerDereference(boolean value) Set whether or not this is a pointer dereference (default == no).
