Gets the name of this variable.

Gets the type of this variable.

Holds if this member is mutable.

Holds if this member is private.

Holds if this member is protected.

Holds if this member is public.

Holds if the type of this variable is declared using the C++ auto keyword.

Gets the source of this element: either itself or a macro that expanded to this element.

Holds if this element may be from a library.

Holds if this element may be from source.

Gets a declaration entry corresponding to this declaration. See the comment above this class for an explanation of the relationship between Declaration and DeclarationEntry.

Gets the location of a declaration entry corresponding to this declaration.

Gets a file where this element occurs.

Gets a specifier of this variable. This includes extern, static, auto, private, protected, public. Specifiers of the type of this variable, such as const and volatile, are instead accessed through this.getType().getASpecifier().

Gets a template argument used to instantiate this declaration from a template. When called on a template, this will return a template parameter.

Gets an access to this variable.

Gets an expression that is assigned to this variable somewhere in the program.

Gets an assignment expression that assigns to this variable. For example: x=... or x+=....

Gets an attribute of this variable.

Canonical QL class corresponding to this element.

Gets the class where this member is declared, if it is a member. For templates, both the template itself and all instantiations of the template are considered to have the same declaring class.

Gets the declaration entry corresponding to this declaration that is a definition, if any.

Gets the location of the definition, if any.

Gets the closest Element enclosing this one.

Gets the primary file where this element occurs.

Gets the initializer of this variable, if any.

Gets the preferred location of this declaration, if any.

Gets the innermost namespace which contains this declaration.

Gets the number of template arguments for this declaration.

Gets the parent scope of this Element, if any. A scope is a Type (Class / Enum), a Namespace, a Block, a Function, or certain kinds of Statement.

Gets the name of the declaration, fully qualified with its namespace and declaring type.

Gets the ith template argument used to instantiate this variable from a variable template. When called on a variable template, this will return the ith template parameter.

Gets the type of this variable prior to deduction caused by the C++11 auto keyword.

Gets the type of this variable, after typedefs have been resolved.

Gets the type of this variable, after specifiers have been deeply stripped and typedefs have been resolved.

Holds if this declaration is a member of a class/struct/union.

Holds if the declaration has a definition.

Holds if this declaration has the given name in the global namespace.

Holds if this variable has an initializer.

Holds if this declaration has the given name.

DEPRECATED: Prefer hasGlobalName or the 2-argument or 3-argument hasQualifiedName predicates. To get the exact same results as this predicate in all edge cases, use getQualifiedName().

Holds if this declaration has a fully-qualified name with a name-space component of namespaceQualifier, a declaring type of typeQualifier, and a base name of baseName. Template parameters and arguments are stripped from all components. Missing components are "".

Holds if this declaration has a fully-qualified name with a name-space component of namespaceQualifier, no declaring type, and a base name of baseName.

Holds if this declaration has a specifier with the given name.

Holds if this element is affected in any way by a macro. All elements that are totally or partially generated by a macro are included, so this is a super-set of isInMacroExpansion.

Holds if this is a compiler-generated variable. For example, a range-based for loop typically has three compiler-generated variables, named __range, __begin, and __end:

Holds if this variable is const.

Holds if this variable is constexpr.

Holds if this variable is constructed from v as a result of template instantiation. If so, it originates either from a template variable or from a variable nested in a template class.

Holds if this Element is a part of a template instantiation (but not the template itself).

Holds if this Element is part of a template template (not if it is part of an instantiation of template). This means it is represented in the database purely as syntax and without guarantees on the presence or correctness of type-based operations such as implicit conversions.

Holds if this element comes from a macro expansion. Only elements that are entirely generated by a macro are included - for elements that partially come from a macro, see isAffectedByMacro.

Holds if this declaration is a member of a class/struct/union.

Holds if this declaration is static.

Holds if this variable is thread_local.

Holds if this declaration is a top-level declaration.

Holds if this variable is volatile.

Gets a textual representation of this element.
