Detailed Description

Methods in this pseudo-class can be executed on objects.

Member Function Documentation

◆ className()

string <object>::className ( )

Returns the class name of the object.

Returns: the class name of the object

Code Flags:: CONSTANT

Example:: string cn = o.className();

Note: equivalent to get_class_name()

◆ complexType()

bool <object>::complexType ( )

returns True in all cases for objects

Code Flags:: CONSTANT

Example:: bool b = n.complexType();

Returns: True in all cases for objects

See also

<value>::fullType()

Since: Qore 0.8.13

◆ empty()

bool <object>::empty ( )

Returns True if the object has no public or private members, False if it does.

The opposite of <object>::val()

Returns: True if the object has no public or private members, False if it does

Code Flags:: RET_VALUE_ONLY

Example:: bool b = o.empty();

◆ firstKey()

*string <object>::firstKey ( )

Returns the first member name in the object or NOTHING if the object has no members; if called from outside the object, the first public member name is returned (if any)

Returns: the first member name in the object or NOTHING if the object has no members; if called from outside the object, the first public member name is returned (if any)

Code Flags:: RET_VALUE_ONLY

Example:: *string n = o.firstKey();

See also: <object>::lastKey()

◆ getCallReference()

code <object>::getCallReference ( string identifier )

resolve the string as a call reference

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

Pseudo-methods run with the class context of the caller, which enables this method to access any accessible private method; use this pseudo-method instead of get_call_reference() to get call references to accessible private methods in a class context
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

Since: Qore 0.9.4

◆ hasCallableMethod()

bool <object>::hasCallableMethod ( string name )

Returns True if the given method exists (can be non-static or static) and is callable from the current context.

Code Flags:: CONSTANT

Example:: bool b = obj.hasCallableMethod("getStatus");

Returns: True if the given method exists (can be non-static or static) and is callable from the current context

See also

Note

returns False if the method doesn't exist or is not callable due to being private, for example
if a methodGate() method exists but no explicit definition of the given method exists, then this pseudo-method will return False, but any method name can be called on the object due to the existence of the methodGate() method
this pseudo-method will also return True if the given method exists and is accessible in an inherited class

Since: Qore 0.8.8

◆ hasCallableNormalMethod()

bool <object>::hasCallableNormalMethod ( string name )

Returns True if the given non-static method exists and is callable from the current context.

Code Flags:: CONSTANT

Example:: bool b = obj.hasCallableNormalMethod("getStatus");

Returns: True if the given non-static method exists and is callable from the current context

See also

Note

returns False if the method doesn't exist or is not callable due to being private, for example
if a methodGate() method exists but no explicit definition of the given method exists, then this pseudo-method will return False, but any method name can be called on the object due to the existence of the methodGate() method
this pseudo-method will also return True if the given method exists and is accessible in an inherited class

Since: Qore 0.8.8

◆ hasCallableStaticMethod()

bool <object>::hasCallableStaticMethod ( string name )

Returns True if the given static method exists and is callable from the current context.

Code Flags:: CONSTANT

Example:: bool b = obj.hasCallableStaticMethod("getStatus");

Returns: True if the given static method exists and is callable from the current context

See also

Note

returns False if the static method doesn't exist or is not callable due to being private, for example
this pseudo-method will also return True if the given static method exists and is accessible in an inherited class
