Detailed Description

The main value class in Qore, designed to be passed by value.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ QoreValue()

DLLEXPORT QoreValue::QoreValue ( const AbstractQoreNode n)

creates as the given object; does not reference n for the assignment to this object

sanitizes n (increases the reference of n if necessary), meaning that if possible, the value is converted to an immediate value in place (int, float, or bool)

if getType() == QV_Node after this assignment, then the node must be referenced for the assignment

Member Function Documentation

◆ assign() [1/5]

DLLEXPORT AbstractQoreNode * QoreValue::assign ( AbstractQoreNode n)

the QoreValue object takes the reference of the argument

Parameters
nthe new node value of the object, sets type to QV_Node
Returns
any node value held before; if type != QV_Node before the assignment, returns NULL

◆ assign() [2/5]

DLLEXPORT AbstractQoreNode * QoreValue::assign ( bool  n)

sets the value of the object and returns any node value held previously

Parameters
nthe new value of the object; sets type to QV_Bool
Returns
any node value held before; if type != QV_Node before the assignment, returns NULL

◆ assign() [3/5]

DLLEXPORT AbstractQoreNode * QoreValue::assign ( const QoreValue  n)

sets the value of the object and returns any node value held previously

Parameters

Parameters
nthe new value of the object; sets type to QV_Float
Returns
any node value held before; if type != QV_Node before the assignment, returns NULL

◆ assign() [5/5]

DLLEXPORT AbstractQoreNode * QoreValue::assign ( int64  n)

sets the value of the object and returns any node value held previously

Parameters
nthe new value of the object; sets type to QV_Int
Returns
any node value held before; if type != QV_Node before the assignment, returns NULL

◆ assignNothing()

DLLEXPORT AbstractQoreNode * QoreValue::assignNothing ( )

sets the value of the object to QoreNothingNode and returns any node value held previously

Returns
any node value held before; if type != QV_Node before the assignment, returns NULL

◆ getFullTypeInfo()

DLLEXPORT const QoreTypeInfo * QoreValue::getFullTypeInfo ( ) const

returns the exact type of the value; i.e. the class type for classes, hashdecl type for hashdecls

Since
Qore 0.9

◆ getFullTypeName() [1/3]

DLLEXPORT const char * QoreValue::getFullTypeName ( ) const

returns a string type description of the full type of the value contained (ex: "nothing" for a null AbstractQoreNode pointer)

differs from the return value of getTypeName() for complex types (ex: "hash<string, int>")

◆ getFullTypeName() [2/3]

DLLEXPORT const char * QoreValue::getFullTypeName ( bool  with_namespaces) const

returns a string type description of the full type of the value contained (ex: "nothing" for a null AbstractQoreNode pointer)

differs from the return value of getTypeName() for complex types (ex: "hash<string, int>")

Parameters
with_namespacesif true then class and hashdecl names are given with full namespace paths
Since
Qore 1.0

◆ getFullTypeName() [3/3]

DLLEXPORT const char * QoreValue::getFullTypeName ( bool  with_namespaces,
QoreString scratch 
) const

returns a string type description of the full type of the value contained (ex: "nothing" for a null AbstractQoreNode pointer)

differs from the return value of getTypeName() for complex types (ex: "hash<string, int>")

Parameters
with_namespacesif true then class and hashdecl names are given with full namespace paths
scratchtemporary space for formatting strings for the return value
Since
Qore 1.18

◆ getTypeInfo()

DLLEXPORT const QoreTypeInfo * QoreValue::getTypeInfo ( ) const

returns the type of the value

Since
Qore 0.8.13

◆ takeIfNode()

DLLEXPORT AbstractQoreNode * QoreValue::takeIfNode ( )

returns a referenced value; leaving the "this" untouched; the caller owns the reference returned

returns a referenced AbstractQoreNode pointer only if the contained value is an AbstractQoreNode pointer, in which case "this" is left empty (the value is taken from "this"); returns 0 if the object does not contain an AbstractQoreNode pointer (type != QV_Node)
