Function documentation

static bool slang::syntax::SyntaxNode::isKind(SyntaxKind)

A base implemention of the method that checks correctness of dynamic casting.

Derived nodes should reimplement this and return true if the provided syntax kind is compatible with the static type of the object.

const SyntaxNode* slang::syntax::SyntaxNode::childNode(size_t index) const

Gets the child syntax node at the specified index.

If the child at the given index is not a node (probably a token) then this returns null.

SyntaxNode* slang::syntax::SyntaxNode::childNode(size_t index)

Gets the child syntax node at the specified index.

If the child at the given index is not a node (probably a token) then this returns null.

Token slang::syntax::SyntaxNode::childToken(size_t index) const

Gets the child token at the specified index.

If the child at the given index is not a token (probably a node) then this returns an empty Token.

Token* slang::syntax::SyntaxNode::childTokenPtr(size_t index)

Gets a pointer to the child token at the specified index.

If the child at the given index is not a token (probably a node) then this returns null.

bool slang::syntax::SyntaxNode::isEquivalentTo(const SyntaxNode& other) const

Returns true if this syntax node is "equivalent" to the other provided syntax node.

Equivalence here is determined by the entire subtrees having the same kinds of syntax nodes in the same order and all leaf tokens having the same kinds and value text.

template<typename T>
T& slang::syntax::SyntaxNode::as()

Reinterprets this node as being of type T.

In debug this will assert that the dynamic kind is appropriate for the specified static type.

template<typename T>
const T& slang::syntax::SyntaxNode::as() const

Reinterprets this node as being of type T.

In debug this will assert that the dynamic kind is appropriate for the specified static type.

template<typename TVisitor, typename... Args>
decltype(auto) slang::syntax::SyntaxNode::visit(TVisitor& visitor, Args && ... args)

Applies a visitor object to this node by dispatching based on the dynamic kind.

The given args are forwarded to the visitor.

template<typename TVisitor, typename... Args>
decltype(auto) slang::syntax::SyntaxNode::visit(TVisitor& visitor, Args && ... args) const

Applies a visitor object to this node by dispatching based on the dynamic kind.

The given args are forwarded to the visitor.

Variable documentation

SyntaxNode* slang::syntax::SyntaxNode::parent

The parent node of this syntax node.

The root of the syntax tree does not have a parent (will be nullptr).

const SyntaxNode* slang::syntax::SyntaxNode::previewNode

An potional pointer to a syntax node tha can be useful to know ahead of time when visiting this node.

The node, if set, is underneath this node in the syntax tree.

For example, an enum declaration deep inside an expression tree needs to be known up front to add its members to its parent scope.
