Class `dmd.declaration.ThisDeclaration`

For the "this" parameter to member functions


						
				class ThisDeclaration
				
  : VarDeclaration
				;

Fields

Name	Type	Description
`localNum`	`ushort`	perturb mangled name to avoid collisions with those in FuncDeclaration.localsymtab

Methods

Name	Description
`accept` (v)
`addComment` (comment)	Add documentation comment to Dsymbol. Ignore NULL comments.
`arraySyntaxCopy` (a)	Do syntax copy of an array of Dsymbol's.
`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.
`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.
`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[].
`comment` ()	get documentation comment for this Dsymbol
`ddocUnittest` ()	Get ddoc unittest associated with this symbol. (only use this with ddoc)
`ddocUnittest` (utd)	Set ddoc unittest associated with this symbol.
`deinitialize` ()	Deinitializes the global state of the compiler.
`expandInitializer` (loc)	Helper function for the expansion of manifest constant.
`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.
`getConstInitializer` (needFullType)	If variable has a constant expression initializer, get it. Otherwise, return null.
`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.
`isCsymbol` ()	Does this Dsymbol come from a C file?
`isCTFE` ()	Can variable be read and written by CTFE?
`isDataseg` ()	Does symbol go into data segment? Includes extern variables.
`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.
`isReference` ()
`isThreadlocal` ()	Does symbol go into thread local storage?
`needsScopeDtor` ()	Return true if variable needs to call the destructor.
`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 and overloads for `opEquals` should attempt to compare objects by their contents. A class will most likely want to add an overload that takes your specific type as the argument and does the content comparison. Then you can override this and forward it to your specific typed overload with a cast. Remember to check for `null` on the typed overload.
`pastMixin` ()	`pastMixin` returns the enclosing symbol if this is a template mixin.
`resolvedLinkage` ()	Returns the linkage, resolving the target-specific `System` one.
`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.
`visible` ()
