Field Detail

EMPTY_EXPRESSION_ARRAY

static final IASTExpression[] EMPTY_EXPRESSION_ARRAY
Empty expression array.

Method Detail

getExpressionType

IType getExpressionType()

isLValue

boolean isLValue()
Returns whether this expression is an lvalue. LValues are for instance required on the left hand side of an assignment expression.

copy

IASTExpression copy()
Description copied from interface: IASTNode
Returns a mutable copy of the tree rooted at this node. The following postconditions hold: copy.getParent() == null copy.getPropertyInParent() == null copy.isFrozen() == false Preprocessor nodes do not currently support being copied. Implicit name nodes are not copied, instead they can be regenerated if required.
