Cpp.FieldDesignator Class

Namespace: Cpp
Superclasses: AstNodeProperties

Represents the field_designator nodes in the syntax tree of your code

Since R2026a

Description

The PQL class FieldDesignator represents the node field_designator in the syntax tree of your code.

Syntaxes

This class defines these predicates that act on the objects of this class. In addition, objects of this class can access the predicates defined by the base class AstNodeProperties. An object of this class is an object of AstNodeProperties class.

Predicates	Description
`is(required FieldDesignator &fieldDesignator)`	Finds syntax nodes of the type `FieldDesignator` in your C++ code and returns them as `fieldDesignator`. For example, in `{.x = 42}`, this predicate matches the field designator node for `.x = 42`.
`isa(Cpp.Node.Node node)`	Checks if `node` is a `FieldDesignator`. Use this relation if you want to negate the condition (for example: `not Cpp.FieldDesignator.isa(n)`).
`cast(Cpp.Node.Node node, required FieldDesignator &cast)`	Finds syntax nodes of the type `FieldDesignator` from the nodes in `node`. Retrieval occurs if `node` is compatible with the `FieldDesignator` type. Use this relation if you need further `FieldDesignator` properties.
`fieldIdentifier(FieldDesignator self, Cpp.Node.Node &child)`	Matches the designated field identifier. For example, in `.x = 42`, this predicate matches `x`.
`isEnclosedInFieldDesignator(Cpp.Node.Node child)`	Checks if `child` appears inside a `FieldDesignator`.
`getEnclosingFieldDesignator(Cpp.Node.Node child, required FieldDesignator &parent)`	Finds the nearest enclosing `FieldDesignator` ancestor of `child` and returns it as `parent`.
