Detailed Description

The abstract base class for Qore class methods.

Restrictions:

Qore::PO_NO_REFLECTION

This class cannot be instantiated directly and also cannot be directly inherited by user-defined classes.

Since

Qore 0.9.0

Member Function Documentation

constructor()

Qore::Reflection::AbstractMethod::constructor

(

)

Throws an exception if called directly; this class can only be instantiated by builtin subclasses.

Exceptions

ABSTRACTMETHOD-CONSTRUCTOR-ERROR

this exception is thrown if this class is constructed directly (also if directly inherited by user classes)

getClass()

AbstractClass Qore::Reflection::AbstractMethod::getClass

(

)

Returns the class for the method.

Code Flags:

CONSTANT

Example:

AbstractClass cls = m.getClass();

Returns

the class for the method

getMethodTypeName()

string Qore::Reflection::AbstractMethod::getMethodTypeName

(

)

returns the type of method as a string; one of "normal", "static", "constructor", "destructor", "copy"

Code Flags:

RET_VALUE_ONLY

Example:

string type = m.getMethodTypeName();

Returns

the type of method as a string; one of "normal", "static", "constructor", "destructor", "copy"

Exceptions

PROGRAM-ERROR

thrown if the Program object holding the class and method has been destroyed

getVariant()

AbstractMethodVariant Qore::Reflection::AbstractMethod::getVariant

(

...

)

Returns the given direct child method variant declared in this method or throws an exception if the method variant is not defined.

Code Flags:

RET_VALUE_ONLY

Example:

AbstractMethodVariant v = n.getVariant(IntType, StringType);

Parameters

...	type arguments for the variant; types must be compatible for the search to be successful

Returns

given method variant or throws an exception if the method variant is not defined in this method

Exceptions

PROGRAM-ERROR	thrown if the Program object holding the class and the method has been destroyed
VARIANT-MATCH-ERROR	thrown if the variant cannot be matched to the given arguments
ENCODING-CONVERSION-ERROR	this exception could be thrown if the string argument is not in the default character encoding and an error occurs during encoding conversion

• getVariantArgs()
• getExactVariant()
• getExactVariantArgs()

getVariantArgs()

AbstractMethodVariant Qore::Reflection::AbstractMethod::getVariantArgs

(

softlist< Type >

argv

)

Returns the given direct child method variant declared in this method or throws an exception if the method variant is not defined.

Code Flags:

RET_VALUE_ONLY

Example:

AbstractMethodVariant v = n.getVariantArgs((IntType, StringType));

Parameters

argv	type arguments for the variant; types must be compatible for the search to be successful

Returns

given method variant or throws an exception if the method variant is not defined in this method

Exceptions

PROGRAM-ERROR	thrown if the Program object holding the class and the method has been destroyed
VARIANT-MATCH-ERROR	thrown if the variant cannot be matched to the given arguments
ENCODING-CONVERSION-ERROR	this exception could be thrown if the string argument is not in the default character encoding and an error occurs during encoding conversion

• getVariant()
• getExactVariant()

getVariants()

list<AbstractMethodVariant> Qore::Reflection::AbstractMethod::getVariants

(

)

returns the variants implemented by the method

Code Flags:

RET_VALUE_ONLY

Example:

list<AbstractMethodVariant> l = f.getVariants();

Returns

the variants implemented by the method

Exceptions

PROGRAM-ERROR

thrown if the Program object holding the class and the method has been destroyed

isStatic()

bool Qore::Reflection::AbstractMethod::isStatic

(

)

returns True if the method is a static method

Code Flags:

RET_VALUE_ONLY

Example:

bool b = m.isStatic();

Returns

True if the method is a static method

Exceptions

PROGRAM-ERROR

thrown if the Program object holding the class and method has been destroyed
