Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ cExpression() [1/2]

cExpression ( )
inlineexplicit

Constructor.

◆ cExpression() [2/2]

cExpression ( const cExpression &  other)
default

Copy constructor.

◆ ~cExpression()

virtual ~cExpression ( )
inlinevirtual

Destructor.

Member Function Documentation

◆ operator=()

cExpression& operator= ( const cExpression &  other)
inline

Assignment operator.

◆ dup()

virtual cExpression* dup ( ) const
pure virtual

Duplication.

Implemented in cOwnedDynamicExpression, and cDynamicExpression.

◆ str()

virtual std::string str ( ) const
inlinevirtual

Converts the expression to string.

Reimplemented in cOwnedDynamicExpression, and cDynamicExpression.

◆ evaluate() [1/2]

virtual cValue evaluate ( Context *  context) const
pure virtual

Evaluate the expression and return the result in a cValue. The context parameter cannot be nullptr.

Implemented in cDynamicExpression.

◆ boolValue() [1/2]

virtual bool boolValue ( Context *  context) const
pure virtual

Evaluate the expression and convert the result to bool if possible; throw an error if conversion from that type is not supported.

Implemented in cDynamicExpression.

◆ intValue() [1/2]

virtual intval_t intValue ( Context *  context,
const char *  expectedUnit = nullptr 
) const
pure virtual

Evaluate the expression and convert the result to intval_t if possible; throw an error if conversion from that type is not supported. Also throws an error if the actual unit does not match the expected unit.

Implemented in cDynamicExpression.

◆ doubleValue() [1/2]

virtual double doubleValue ( Context *  context,
const char *  expectedUnit = nullptr 
) const
pure virtual

Evaluate the expression and convert the result to double if possible; throw an error if conversion from that type is not supported. Also throws an error if the actual unit does not match the expected unit.

Implemented in cDynamicExpression.

◆ stringValue() [1/2]

virtual std::string stringValue ( Context *  context) const
pure virtual

Evaluate the expression and convert the result to string if possible; throw an error if conversion from that type is not supported.

Implemented in cDynamicExpression.

◆ xmlValue() [1/2]

virtual cXMLElement* xmlValue ( Context *  context) const
pure virtual

Evaluate the expression and convert the result to an XML tree if possible; throw an error if conversion from that type is not supported.

Implemented in cDynamicExpression.

◆ evaluate() [2/2]

virtual cValue evaluate ( cComponent *  contextComponent = nullptr) const
virtual

Evaluate the expression and return the result in a cValue. This method creates a Context from contextComponent, and delegates to evaluate(Context*).

◆ boolValue() [2/2]

virtual bool boolValue ( cComponent *  contextComponent = nullptr) const
virtual

Evaluate the expression and convert the result to bool if possible; throw an error if conversion from that type is not supported. This method creates a Context from contextComponent, and delegates to boolValue(Context*).

◆ intValue() [2/2]

virtual intval_t intValue ( cComponent *  contextComponent = nullptr,
const char *  expectedUnit = nullptr 
) const
virtual

Evaluate the expression and convert the result to intval_t if possible; throw an error if conversion from that type is not supported. Also throws an error if the actual unit does not match the expected unit. This method creates a Context from contextComponent, and delegates to intValue(Context*,const char*).

◆ doubleValue() [2/2]

virtual double doubleValue ( cComponent *  contextComponent = nullptr,
const char *  expectedUnit = nullptr 
) const
virtual

Evaluate the expression and convert the result to double if possible; throw an error if conversion from that type is not supported. Also throws an error if the actual unit does not match the expected unit. This method creates a Context from contextComponent, and delegates to doubleValue(Context*,const char*).

◆ stringValue() [2/2]

virtual std::string stringValue ( cComponent *  contextComponent = nullptr) const
virtual

Evaluate the expression and convert the result to string if possible; throw an error if conversion from that type is not supported. This method creates a Context from contextComponent, and delegates to stringValue(Context*).

◆ xmlValue() [2/2]

virtual cXMLElement* xmlValue ( cComponent *  contextComponent = nullptr) const
virtual

Evaluate the expression and convert the result to an XML tree if possible; throw an error if conversion from that type is not supported. This method creates a Context from contextComponent, and delegates to xmlValue(Context*).

◆ parse()

virtual void parse ( const char *  text)
pure virtual

Interprets the string as an expression, and store it. If the text cannot be parsed, an exception is thrown, which can be caught as std::runtime_error& if necessary. An exception is also thrown if the particular cExpression subclass does not support parsing.

Implemented in cDynamicExpression.

◆ compare()

virtual int compare ( const cExpression *  other) const
pure virtual

Compares two expressions. Makes it possible to use cExpression as (part of) a key in std::map or std::set.

Implemented in cDynamicExpression.

◆ isAConstant()

virtual bool isAConstant ( ) const
inlinevirtual

Returns true if the expression is just a literal (or equivalent to one, like "2+2"). This can be used for optimization.

Reimplemented in cDynamicExpression.

◆ getSourceLocation()

virtual std::string getSourceLocation ( ) const
pure virtual

Returns the file:line info where this expression was parsed from. Returns empty string if such info is not available.

Implemented in cDynamicExpression.
