Type Class

Brief: represents a type

Detailed description

This class is used to represent types.

Members documentation

Type()

Brief: constructs an invalid type

Type(int baseType, int flags)

Brief: constructs a type from an id and flags

bool isValid() const

Brief: returns whether the type is valid

Type baseType() const

Brief: returns the base type

This function returns the type without const and reference.

bool isConst() const

Brief: returns whether the type is const

void setConst(bool on)

Brief: sets whether the type is const

bool isReference() const

Brief: returns whether the type is a reference

This function returns true only for simple references, it returns false for forwarding references.

void setReference(bool on)

Brief: sets whether the type is a reference

bool isRefRef() const

Brief: returns whether the type is a forwarding reference

This function returns false for simple references.

bool isConstRef() const

Brief: returns whether the type is a const reference

Type withConst() const

Brief: returns this type with const

Type withoutConst() const

Brief: returns this type without const

Type withoutRef() const

Brief: returns this type without reference

This function removes both simple and forwarding references.

@TODO: not consistent with isRef().

bool isFundamentalType() const

Brief: returns whether the type is a fundamental type

Fundamental types are bool, char, int, float, double.

This function ignores const and references.

bool isObjectType() const

Brief: returns whether the type is a class

bool isEnumType() const

Brief: returns whether the type is an enum

bool isClosureType() const

Brief: returns whether the type is a lambda

bool isFunctionType() const

Brief: returns whether the type is a function type

bool testFlag(TypeFlag flag) const

Brief: test whether a flag is set

void setFlag(TypeFlag flag)

Brief: sets a flag

Type withFlag(TypeFlag flag) const

Brief: returns this type with an additional flag

Type withoutFlag(TypeFlag flag) const

Brief: returns this type with a flag removed

static Type ref(const Type& base)

Brief: creates a reference type

static Type cref(const Type& base)

Brief: creates a const-reference type

static Type rref(const Type& base)

Brief: creates a forwarding reference type

int data() const

Brief: returns the internal storage data
