Detailed Description

Qore's "NOTHING" parse tree/value type, not-referenced counted, not dynamically allocated.

This class cannot be instantiated; there will only be one single QoreNothingNode object instantiated and used everywhere in the Qore library. Use the nothing() function or simply &Nothing to acquire a pointer to an object of this class. This value can be represented in Qore code as the keyword "NOTHING"

Note: Qore's "NULL" is not equal to "NOTHING"; in C++ code, use the is_nothing() function to test an AbstractQoreNode* to see if it's "NOTHING" (because also a null pointer is equivalent to NOTHING)

Member Function Documentation

◆ evalImpl() [1/2]

virtual DLLEXPORT QoreValue SimpleValueQoreNode::evalImpl

private

this function is never called for this type

See also: AbstractQoreNode::evalImpl()

◆ evalImpl() [2/2]

DLLLOCAL QoreValue QoreNothingNode::evalImpl	(	bool &	needs_deref,
		ExceptionSink *	xsink
	)		const

privatevirtual

should never be called for value types

in debugging builds of the library, calls to this function will abort

Reimplemented from SimpleValueQoreNode.

◆ getAsString() [1/2]

virtual DLLEXPORT QoreString* QoreNothingNode::getAsString	(	bool &	del,
		int	foff,
		class ExceptionSink *	xsink
	)		const

virtual

returns a QoreString with the text: "<NOTHING>"

used for n and N printf formatting

Parameters

del	is always set to true for this implementation of the function, meaning that the returned QoreString pointer should be deleted
foff	for multi-line formatting offset, -1 = no line breaks (ignored by this version of the function)
xsink	ignored by this version of the function NOTE: Use the QoreNodeAsStringHelper class (defined in QoreStringNode.h) instead of using this function directly

See also: QoreNodeAsStringHelper

Implements AbstractQoreNode.

◆ getAsString() [2/2]

virtual DLLEXPORT int QoreNothingNode::getAsString	(	QoreString &	str,
		int	foff,
		class ExceptionSink *	xsink
	)		const

virtual

concatenate "<NOTHING>" to an existing QoreString

used for n and N printf formatting

Parameters

str	the string representation of the type will be concatenated to this QoreString reference
foff	for multi-line formatting offset, -1 = no line breaks
xsink	if an error occurs, the Qore-language exception information will be added here

Returns: -1 for exception raised, 0 = OK

Implements AbstractQoreNode.

◆ is_equal_hard()

virtual DLLEXPORT bool QoreNothingNode::is_equal_hard	(	const AbstractQoreNode *	v,
		ExceptionSink *	xsink
	)		const

virtual

tests for equality without type conversions (hard compare)

Parameters

v	the value to compare
xsink	ignored for this version of the function

Implements AbstractQoreNode.

◆ is_equal_soft()

virtual DLLEXPORT bool QoreNothingNode::is_equal_soft	(	const AbstractQoreNode *	v,
		ExceptionSink *	xsink
	)		const

virtual

tests for equality with possible type conversion (soft compare)

since no type can be implicitly converted to NOTHING, this comparison is the same as is_equal_hard() for QoreNothingNode

Parameters

v	the value to compare
xsink	ignored for this version of the function

Implements AbstractQoreNode.
