Program objects allow Qore programs to support subprograms with the option to restrict capabilities, for example, to support user-defined logic for application actions.
Parsing in Qore happens in two steps; first all code is parsed to pending data structures, and then in the second stage, all references are resolved, and, if there are no errors, then all changes are committed to the Program object. Note that all parse actions (Program::parse(), Program::parsePending(), Program::parseCommit(), and Program::parseRollback()) are atomic; there is a thread lock on each Program object to ensure atomicity, and if any parse errors occur in any stage of parsing, any pending changes to the Program object are automatically rolled back. However parse actions that affect only one stage of the two stages of parsing (Program::parsePending(), Program::parseCommit() and Program::parseRollback()) are atomic within themselves, but not between calls, so one thread may inadvertently commit changes to a Program object if two or more threads are trying to perform transaction-safe two-stage parsing on a Program object without explicit user locking.
A complete parse action (Program::parse() or Program::parseCommit()) can only be performed once; subsequent attempts to parse code into the same Program object will fail with an exception. If parsing fails due to a parse exception, the Program object is generally no longer usable and must be recreated to be used.
Parse option constants can be used to limit the capabilities of a Program object. These options should be binary-OR'ed together and passed to the Program object's constructor. Also see qore Executable Command-Line Processing for equivalent command-line options, and Parse Directives for equivalent parse directives.
Note that a program can provide controlled access to functionality otherwise restricted by parse options by exporting a custom API into the child program object using either the Program::importFunction() or Program::importGlobalVariable() method. This is possible because code (functions or object methods) imported into and called from a subprogram will run in the parent's space and therefore with the parent's capabilities.
Classes, constants, namespaces, functions, and global variables are only inherited into child Program objects if they are declared public and no parse options prohibit it.
Symbols can also be imported into Program objects singly using methods such as Program::importClass() and Program::importGlobalVariable(), etc.
auto Qore::Program::callFunction | ( | string | name, |
... | |||
) |

ENCODING-CONVERSION-ERROR | the function name could not be converted to the default character encoding |
Qore::Program::constructor | ( | softint | po = PO_DEFAULT | ) |
Creates the program object and optionally sets program capabilities (parse options)
Note that if PO_NO_CHILD_PO_RESTRICTIONS is not set in the parent Program when the new Program object is created, then the created Program object will have the parent's parse options added to its parse options as given by the argument to the constructor.
In other words, if PO_NO_CHILD_PO_RESTRICTIONS is not set, it's not possible to create a child Program object with fewer restrictions than the parent Program object (any attempt to do so will be silently ignored).
However, if PO_NO_CHILD_PO_RESTRICTIONS is set in the parent Program object, then the parse option argument to the constructor will be applied literally to the child object.

Note that modules providing objects resolved at parse time (classes, constants, functions, etc) must be loaded prior to parsing.
name | the name or path of the user module to load |
pgm | the Program object to use as a container for the new user module, presumably this has a custom API that the user module can use; note that after this call the Program object will be owned by the user module, therefore the object itself will no longer be valid and any accesses to the object after this call will result in an exception |
warning_mask | the warning mask to use when loading the module; any warnings will be returned in the return value |
LOAD-MODULE-ERROR | module cannot be loaded: binary modules cannot be loaded in Program containers, module defines symbols already defined in the target object, etc |
nothing Qore::Program::lockOptions | ( | ) |
Locks parse options so that they cannot be changed.
*hash<ExceptionInfo> Qore::Program::parse | ( | string | code, |
string | label, | ||
*softint | warning_mask, | ||
*string | source, | ||
*softint | offset, | ||
softbool | format_label = True |

) |
Parses the string argument and adds the code to the Program object.
This method causes both stages of parsing to be executed; if this method is successful, then the code parsed is committed to the Program object. This method is equivalent to calling Program::parsePending() and Program::parseCommit() in one atomic call.
If an exception occurs in this method, all pending code is backed out, not just code parsed by this method (for example, in case uncommitted code added by Program::parsePending() also exists in the Program object before calling this method).
code | The code to parse into the Program object |
label | The label for the code; this label will be given if any parse or run-time errors are raised for the code given |
warning_mask | An optional warning mask; see Warning Constants for values to combine by binary-or; if this argument is 0 or not given then no warnings will be checked or issued and the return value will always be NOTHING |
source | An optional source file name for the code being parsed; this is useful if sections of a file are parsed |
offset | An optional line offset for use with the source parameter; this gives the line offset in the file to the code being parsed |
format_label | obsolete / ignored since Qore 0.9 |
PROGRAM-PARSE-ERROR | this exception is thrown if any parse actions are started while the Program object has running threads |
nothing Qore::Program::parseCommit | ( | ) |
Commits and pending code processed with Program::parsePending() to the Program object after resolving all outstanding references in the pending code.
An exception in this method causes all pending code to be rolled back immediately.
PROGRAM-PARSE-ERROR | this exception is thrown if any parse actions are started while the Program object has running threads |
*hash<ExceptionInfo> Qore::Program::parseCommit | ( | int | warning_mask | ) |
Commits and pending code processed with Program::parsePending() to the Program object after resolving all outstanding references in the pending code.
An exception in this method causes all pending code to be rolled back immediately.
PROGRAM-PARSE-ERROR | this exception is thrown if any parse actions are started while the Program object has running threads |
*hash<ExceptionInfo> Qore::Program::parsePending | ( | string | code, |

) |
Parses the text passed to pending lists in the Program object; does not resolve all references or commit the code to the Program object.
References are resolved in the Program::parseCommit() method.
Program::parseCommit() must be called to resolve all references and commit the code to the Program object; until Program::parseCommit() is called, none of the code parsed by this method will be available for execution in the Program object.
If an exception occurs in this method, all pending code is backed out, not just code parsed by this method.
code | The code to parse into the Program object |
label | The label for the code; this label will be given if any parse or run-time errors are raised for the code given |
warning_mask | An optional warning mask; see Warning Constants for values to combine by binary-or; if this argument is 0 or not given then no warnings will be checked or issued and the return value will always be NOTHING |
source | An optional source file name for the code being parsed; this is useful if sections of a file are parsed |
offset | An optional line offset for use with the source parameter; this gives the line offset in the file to the code being parsed |
format_label | obsolete / ignored since Qore 0.9 |
PROGRAM-PARSE-ERROR | this exception is thrown if any parse actions are started while the Program object has running threads |
nothing Qore::Program::parseRollback | ( | ) |
Removes all partially or fully-parsed code from the object along with other builtin objects; a Program object is not usable after calling this method; do not use this method but instead destroy the Program object.
PROGRAM-PARSE-ERROR | this exception is thrown if any parse actions are started while the Program object has running threads |
nothing Qore::Program::replaceParseOptions | ( | softint | opt | ) |
Replaces the parse options for the Program object.
An OPTION-ERROR
exception is thrown if the calling Program object does not have PO_NO_CHILD_PO_RESTRICTIONS set.
opt | A single parse option or binary-or'ed combination of parse options to unset in the parse option mask for the object |
OPTION-ERROR | The calling Program does not have the PO_NO_CHILD_PO_RESTRICTIONS option set, and therefore cannot call Program::replaceParseOptions() |
auto Qore::Program::run | ( | ) |
Runs the program and optionally returns a value if the top-level code exits with a return statement.
nothing Qore::Program::setGlobalVarValue | ( | string | name, |
auto | value | ||
) |
set the value of a global variable
name | the name of the variable |
value | the value to assign |
UNKNOWN-VARIABLE | the variable is not a global variable |
nothing Qore::Program::setParseOptions | ( | softint | opt = PO_DEFAULT | ) |
Sets parse options in the parse option mask for the Program object.
An OPTIONS-LOCKED
exception is thrown if parse options have been locked (for example with Program::lockOptions())
opt | A single parse option or binary-or'ed combination of parse options to set in the parse option mask for the object; the given argument will be combined with binary or with the existing parse option mask |
OPTIONS-LOCKED | Parse options have been locked and cannot be changed |
PROGRAM-OPTION-ERROR | invalid parse options used |
nothing Qore::Program::setScriptPath | ( | *string | path | ) |
Sets (or clears) the script path (directory and filename) for the object.
path | The path (directory and filename) for the current script; if the directory component is missing, then the current directory is assumed |
bool Qore::Program::setThreadInit | ( | *code | init | ) |
Sets a call reference or closure to run every time a new thread is started.
This code can be used to initialize global thread-local variables, for example.
init | a call reference or closure to run every time a new thread is started or NOTHING to clear any thread initialization code |
nothing Qore::Program::setTimeZone | ( | TimeZone | zone | ) |
Sets the default local time zone for the object.
nothing Qore::Program::setTimeZoneRegion | ( | string | region | ) |
Sets the default local time zone for the object from a path to a zoneinfo time zone region file.
If there are errors opening, reading, or parsing the file (or the Windows registry entry, depending on the platform), an exception is thrown
region | The path to the zoneinfo file for the time zone region to set as the local time zone for the Program object |
TZINFO-ERROR | Unable to read zoneinfo file; invalid file magic; error parsing zoneinfo file, etc |
nothing Qore::Program::setTimeZoneUTCOffset | ( | softint | seconds_east | ) |
Sets the default time zone for the Program object based on the number of seconds east of UTC; for zones west of UTC, use negative numbers.
Time zones set with this method cannot have any daylight savings time information; to set a zone with daylight savings time information, use Program::setTimeZoneRegion() instead
seconds_east | The number of seconds east of UTC; for zones west of UTC, use negative numbers |
nothing Qore::Program::undefine | ( | string | def | ) |
Unsets a parse define for the current Program.
def | The name of the define to undefine; if the given define is not defined anyway, the operation is ignored |
