Class `dmd.declaration.VarDeclaration`


						
				class VarDeclaration
				
  : Declaration
				;

Fields

Name	Type	Description
`cppnamespace`	`CPPNamespaceDeclaration`	C++ namespace this symbol belongs to

Methods

Name	Description
`addMaybe` (v)	Add variable to maybes[]. When a maybescope variable `v` is assigned to a maybescope variable `this`, we cannot determine if `this` is actually scope until the semantic analysis for the function is completed. Thus, we save the data until then.
`callScopeDtor` (sc)	If a variable has a scope destructor call, return call for it. Otherwise, return NULL.
`canTakeAddressOf` ()	Return true if we can take the address of this variable.
`checkNestedReference` (sc, loc)	Check to see if this variable is actually in an enclosing function rather than the current one. Update nestedrefs[], closureVars[] and outerVars[].
`enclosesLifetimeOf` (v)	Determine if `this` has a lifetime that lasts past the destruction of `v`
`expandInitializer` (loc)	Helper function for the expansion of manifest constant.
`getConstInitializer` (needFullType)	If variable has a constant expression initializer, get it. Otherwise, return null.
`isCTFE` ()	Can variable be read and written by CTFE?
`isDataseg` ()	Does symbol go into data segment? Includes extern variables.
`isThreadlocal` ()	Does symbol go into thread local storage?
`needsScopeDtor` ()	Return true if variable needs to call the destructor.
`accept` (v)
`addComment` (comment)	Add documentation comment to Dsymbol. Ignore NULL comments.
`arraySyntaxCopy` (a)	Do syntax copy of an array of Dsymbol's.
`checkDisabled` (loc, sc, isAliasedDeclaration)	Issue an error if an attempt to call a disabled method is made
`checkModify` (loc, sc, e1, flag)	Check to see if declaration can be modified in this context (sc). Issue error if not.
`factory` (classname)	Create instance of class specified by the fully qualified name classname. The class must either have no constructors or have a default constructor.
`followInstantiationContext` (p1, p2)	Returns true if any of the symbols `p1` or `p2` resides in the enclosing instantiation scope of `this`.
`getAccessModule` ()	Determine which Module a Dsymbol is in, as far as access rights go.
`getModule` ()	Determine which Module a Dsymbol is in.
`hasPointers` ()	Is Dsymbol a variable that contains pointers?
`inNonRoot` ()	Returns true if this symbol is defined in a non-root module without instantiation.
`isMember` ()	Returns an AggregateDeclaration when toParent() is that.
`isMember2` ()	Returns an AggregateDeclaration when toParent2() is that.
`isMemberDecl` ()	Returns an AggregateDeclaration when toParentDecl() is that.
`isMemberLocal` ()	Returns an AggregateDeclaration when toParentLocal() is that.
`oneMember` (ps, ident)	Determine if this symbol is only one.
`oneMembers` (members, ps, ident)	Same as Dsymbol::oneMember(), but look at an array of Dsymbols.
`opCmp` (o)	Compare with another Object obj.
`opEquals` (o)	Test whether `this` is equal to `o`. The default implementation only compares by identity (using the `is` operator). Generally, overrides for `opEquals` should attempt to compare objects by their contents.
`pastMixin` ()	`pastMixin` returns the enclosing symbol if this is a template mixin.
`prot` ()
`search` (loc, ident, flags)	Search for ident as member of s.
`searchX` (loc, sc, id, flags)	Search for identifier id as a member of `this`. `id` may be a template instance.
`setScope` (sc)	Set scope for future semantic analysis so we can deal better with forward references.
`size` (loc)
`syntaxCopy` (s)	Copy the syntax. Used for template instantiations. If s is NULL, allocate the new object, otherwise fill it in.
`toAlias` ()	If this symbol is really an alias for another, return that other. If needed, semantic() is invoked due to resolve forward reference.
`toAlias2` ()	Resolve recursive tuple expansion in eponymous template.
`toHash` ()	Compute hash function for Object.
`toParent` ()	`parent` field returns a lexically enclosing scope symbol this is a member of.
`toParent2` ()	`parent` field returns a lexically enclosing scope symbol this is a member of.
`toParentDecl` ()	`parent` field returns a lexically enclosing scope symbol this is a member of.
`toParentLocal` ()	`parent` field returns a lexically enclosing scope symbol this is a member of.
`toParentP` (p1, p2)	Returns the declaration scope scope of `this` unless any of the symbols `p1` or `p2` resides in its enclosing instantiation scope then the latter is returned.
`toString` ()
`toString` ()	Convert Object to a human readable string.
