Interface IASTImplicitName

All Superinterfaces:

IASTName, IASTNode, org.eclipse.cdt.core.dom.IName

public interface IASTImplicitName
extends IASTName

An implicit name is used to resolve uses of implicit bindings, such as overloaded operators. Implicit names are not generated unless they resolve to something.

Since:

5.1

Method Summary

IASTName	copy() This method is not supported on implicit names.
boolean	isAlternate() Returns true if this node is an alternate.
boolean	isOperator() Convenience method that returns true if this name represents an overloaded operator.

Method Detail

resolveBinding

IBinding resolveBinding()

Resolve the semantic object this name is referring to. Redeclared with strengthened postcondition. Will not return null or a problem binding. Implicit names are not generated unless they resolve to something.

Specified by:

resolveBinding in interface IASTName

Returns:

IBinding binding

isAlternate

boolean isAlternate()

Returns true if this node is an alternate. Sometimes more than one implicit name is generated for the same binding but with different offsets, when this happens the additional names generated are considered alternates.

See Also:

ASTVisitor.shouldVisitImplicitNameAlternates

isOperator

boolean isOperator()

Convenience method that returns true if this name represents an overloaded operator.

copy

IASTName copy()
              throws UnsupportedOperationException

This method is not supported on implicit names. Implicit names are not copied when an AST is copied, instead the implicit names are regenerated when needed.

Specified by:

copy in interface IASTName

Specified by:

copy in interface IASTNode

Throws:

UnsupportedOperationException - always
