Detailed Description

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.

Member Function Documentation

◆ callFunction()

auto Qore::Program::callFunction	(	string	name,
			...
	)

Calls a function in the program object and returns the return value.

The function runs with the permissions of the Program object containing the function.

Parameters

name	The name of the function to call
...	The remaining arguments passed to the method are passed to the function to be called

Returns: Depends on the function being called

Example:: auto result = pgm.callFunction("func_name", arg1, arg2);

Exceptions

INVALID-FUNCTION-ACCESS	Parse options do not allow this builtin function to be called
NO-FUNCTION	The function does not exist
ENCODING-CONVERSION-ERROR	the function name could not be converted to the default character encoding

Note: The function called could also cause other exceptions to be thrown

◆ callFunctionArgs()

auto Qore::Program::callFunctionArgs	(	string	name,
		*softlist< auto >	vargs
	)

Calls a function in the program object giving the arguments to the function as a list and returns the return value.

The function runs with the permissions of the Program object containing the function.

Parameters

name	The name of the function to call
vargs	The arguments to the function to be called

Returns: Depends on the function being called

Example:: auto result = pgm.callFunctionArgs("func_name", (arg1, arg2));

Exceptions

INVALID-FUNCTION-ACCESS	Parse options do not allow this builtin function to be called
NO-FUNCTION	The function does not exist
ENCODING-CONVERSION-ERROR	the function name could not be converted to the default character encoding

Note: The function called could also cause other exceptions to be thrown

◆ constructor()

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.

ProgramControl provides internal Program data for debugging purposes.

Use the ProgramControl::getProgram() method to attach to the currently running program

Restrictions:: Qore::PO_NO_EMBEDDED_LOGIC

Parameters

po	A binary OR'ed product of parse options

Example:: Program pgm();

Exceptions

PROGRAM-OPTION-ERROR invalid parse options used

◆ copy()

Qore::Program::copy ( )

Throws an exception to prevent objects of this class from being copied.

Exceptions

PROGRAM-COPY-ERROR copying Program objects is currently unsupported

◆ define()

nothing Qore::Program::define	(	string	def,
		auto	val
	)

Sets a parse define for the current Program.

Parameters

def	The parse define to assign
val	The value to assign to the define

Example:: pgm.define("PRODUCTION", True);

◆ disableParseOptions()

nothing Qore::Program::disableParseOptions ( softint opt )

Removes the given parse options to the current parse option mask.

An OPTIONS-LOCKED exception is thrown if parse options have been locked (for example with Program::lockOptions())

Parameters

opt	A single parse option or binary-or'ed combination of parse options to unset in the parse option mask for the object; any bit set in this argument will be unset (ie zeroed out or combined with inverse binary and) in the Program's parse option mask

Example:: # allow threading and GUI operations
pgm.disableParseOptions(PO_NO_THREADS | PO_NO_GUI);

Exceptions

OPTIONS-LOCKED	Parse options have been locked and cannot be changed
PROGRAM-OPTION-ERROR	invalid parse options used

See also: Program::setParseOptions() for a reciprocal method that enables parse options; also see Program::replaceParseOptions()

◆ existsFunction()

bool Qore::Program::existsFunction ( string name )

Checks if a user function exists in the program object.

Code Flags:: RET_VALUE_ONLY

Parameters

name	The name of the function to check

Returns: True if the function exists, False if not

Example:: if (pgm.existsFunction("my_func"))
printf("my_func() exists in the Program\n");

Exceptions

ENCODING-CONVERSION-ERROR the function name could not be converted to the default character encoding

◆ findFunctionVariants()

list<hash<auto> > Qore::Program::findFunctionVariants ( string function )

finds all variants of a function or class method and returns a list of the results

Parameters

function the function or class method name; may also be namespace-justified

Returns

a list of hashes for each resolved name; when matched, each hash element has the following keys:

desc: a string description of the call which includes the name and the full text call signature
params: a QoreListNode object that gives the params in a format that can be used by ProgramControl::findFunctionStatementId

Exceptions

PROGRAM-ERROR thrown if the function cannot be found

Since: Qore 0.8.13

Note: the reflection module supercedes this functionality

◆ getAllDefines()

*hash<auto> Qore::Program::getAllDefines ( )

Retrieves all parse defines in the current Program.

Returns: the hash of values of all parse defines in the current Program

Code Flags:: CONSTANT

Example:: *hash<auto> val = pgm.getAllDefines();

Note: A parse define may be defined with no value then values may have nothing values

Since: Qore 0.8.13

◆ getCallReference()

code Qore::Program::getCallReference ( string identifier )

resolve the string as a call reference in the given Program

Code Flags:: RET_VALUE_ONLY

Parameters

identifier the string to resolve; function or static class method, can include namespace path

Returns

the call reference to the given function or static method; the string is resolved as follows:

if in a class method, a non-static method lookup is made
if not found, then a static method lookup is made
if not found, then a function lookup is made
if not found, an CALL-REFERENCE-ERROR exception is thrown

Exceptions

CALL-REFERENCE-ERROR cannot resolve call reference; method not accessible in the calling context

Note

use <object>::getCallReference() to get call references to non-public class methods; this builtin function will always run without any class context, however pseudo-methods run with the class context of the caller, which enables it to access any accessible private method
call references to non-static methods contain a weak reference to the object; the lifetime of the object is not extended by the call reference

◆ lockOptions()

nothing Qore::Program::lockOptions ( )

Locks parse options so that they cannot be changed.

Example:: pgm.lockOptions();

◆ parse()

*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).

Restrictions:: Qore::PO_NO_EMBEDDED_LOGIC

Parameters

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

Returns: If warning included in the warning mask are raised during parsing, this method will return an ExceptionInfo hash with warning information, otherwise NOTHING is returned

Example:: *hash<ExceptionInfo> wh = pgm.parse(code, "label", WARN_DEFAULT);
while (wh) {
printf("warning: %s:%d: %s: %s\n", wh.file, wh.line, wh.err, wh.desc);
wh = wh.next;
}

Note: This method could throw many parse exceptions which are not enumerated here; any parse errors will result in an appropriate exception.

See also

Exceptions

PROGRAM-PARSE-ERROR this exception is thrown if any parse actions are started while the Program object has running threads

Note: 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.

Since

Qore 0.8.7 the source, offset, and format_label arguments were added
Qore 0.9 parsing can only be executed once per Program object
Qore 0.9 the format_label is obsolete / ignored

◆ parseCommit() [1/2]

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.

Example:: pgm.parseCommit();

Note: This method could throw many parse exceptions related to resolving references which are not enumerated here; any parse errors will result in an appropriate exception.

If parsing fails due to a parse exception, the Program object is generally no longer usable and must be recreated to be used.

Since: Qore 0.9 parsing can only be executed once per Program object

◆ parseCommit() [2/2]

*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.

Example:: *hash<ExceptionInfo> wh = pgm.parseCommit(WARN_DEFAULT);
while (exists wh) {
printf("warning: %s:%d: %s: %s\n", wh.file, wh.line, wh.err, wh.desc);
wh = wh.next;

		*softint	warning_mask,
		*string	source,
		*softint	offset,
		softbool	format_label = `True`
	)

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.

Restrictions:: Qore::PO_NO_EMBEDDED_LOGIC

Parameters

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

Example:: # disable threading and GUI operations
pgm.setParseOptions(PO_NO_THREADS | PO_NO_GUI);

Exceptions

OPTIONS-LOCKED	Parse options have been locked and cannot be changed
PROGRAM-OPTION-ERROR	invalid parse options used

See also: Program::disableParseOptions() for a reciprocal method that disables parse options; also see Program::replaceParseOptions()

◆ setScriptPath()

nothing Qore::Program::setScriptPath ( *string path )

Sets (or clears) the script path (directory and filename) for the object.

Parameters

path	The path (directory and filename) for the current script; if the directory component is missing, then the current directory is assumed

Example:: pgm.setScriptPath("/users/test/test.q");

◆ setThreadInit()

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.
