Interface IASTLiteralExpression

All Superinterfaces:

IASTExpression, IASTNode

All Known Subinterfaces:

ICPPASTLiteralExpression

public interface IASTLiteralExpression
extends IASTExpression

This expression represents a literal in the program.

Field Summary

static int	lk_char_constant A char literal e.g.
static int	lk_false lk_false represents the 'false' keyword.
static int	lk_float_constant A floating point literal e.g. 6.0
static int	lk_integer_constant An integer literal e.g. 5
static int	lk_last Deprecated. all possible values must be defined in IASTLiteralExpression.
static int	lk_string_literal A string literal e.g.
static int	lk_this lk_this represents the 'this' keyword for c++ only.
static int	lk_true lk_true represents the 'true' keyword.

copy

IASTLiteralExpression copy()

Description copied from interface: IASTNode

Returns a mutable copy of the tree rooted at this node. The following postconditions hold: copy.getParent() == null copy.getPropertyInParent() == null copy.isFrozen() == false Preprocessor nodes do not currently support being copied. Implicit name nodes are not copied, instead they can be regenerated if required.
