All Implemented Interfaces:

IAttributeAccess

public class AttributeVariable
extends Variable

A variable which represents an attribute. However, access to an attribute may be qualified, e.g. via a CompoundAccess, i.e., qualifier.attribute whereby qualifier may even be c.a.attribute of unlimited nesting. However, the attribute shall point to the original definition of the attribute variable. This class is a (polymorphic) subclass of Variable as it just adds an attribute (and helps saving memory in case that the qualifying attribute is not needed).

AttributeVariable

public AttributeVariable(ConstraintSyntaxTree qualifier,
 Attribute attribute)

Creates an attribute variable.

Parameters:

qualifier - an optional expression required to uniquely address the specific variable the attribute is referring to (may be null)

attribute - the attribute (as variable)

Method Details

getQualifier

accept

public void accept(IConstraintTreeVisitor visitor)

Description copied from class: ConstraintSyntaxTree

Visiting method for the visitor.
This method is used for saving this model element.

Overrides:

accept in class Variable

Parameters:

visitor - The visitor, which should save this model element.

inferDatatype

public IDatatype inferDatatype()
                        throws CSTSemanticException

Description copied from class: ConstraintSyntaxTree

Infers the datatype of the subtree represented by this object.

Overrides:

inferDatatype in class Variable
