MethodParameterOut

• NODE PROPERTIES:

▸ Code (String); Cardinality one (mandatory with default value <empty>); This field holds the code snippet that the node represents.

▸ ColumnNumber (Int); Cardinality ZeroOrOne (optional); This optional fields provides the column number of the program construct represented by the node.

▸ EvaluationStrategy (String); Cardinality one (mandatory with default value <empty>); For formal method input parameters, output parameters, and return parameters, this field holds the evaluation strategy, which is one of the following: 1) BY_REFERENCE indicates that the parameter is passed by reference, 2) BY_VALUE indicates that it is passed by value, that is, a copy is made, 3) BY_SHARING the parameter is a pointer/reference and it is shared with the caller/callee. While a copy of the pointer is made, a copy of the object that it points to is not made.

▸ Index (Int); Cardinality one (mandatory with default value -1); Specifies an index, e.g., for a parameter or argument. Explicit parameters are numbered from 1 to N, while index 0 is reserved for implicit self / this parameter.

▸ IsVariadic (Boolean); Cardinality one (mandatory with default value false); Specifies whether a parameter is the variadic argument handling parameter of a variadic method. Only one parameter of a method is allowed to have this property set to true.

▸ LineNumber (Int); Cardinality ZeroOrOne (optional); This optional field provides the line number of the program construct represented by the node.

▸ Name (String); Cardinality one (mandatory with default value <empty>); Name of represented object, e.g., method name (e.g. "run")

▸ Offset (Int); Cardinality ZeroOrOne (optional); Start offset into the CONTENT property of the corresponding FILE node. The offset is such that parts of the content can easily be accessed via content.substring(offset, offsetEnd). This means that the offset must be measured in utf16 encoding (i.e. neither in characters/codeunits nor in byte-offsets into a utf8 encoding). E.g. for METHOD nodes this start offset points to the start of the methods source code in the string holding the source code of the entire file.

▸ OffsetEnd (Int); Cardinality ZeroOrOne (optional); End offset (exclusive) into the CONTENT property of the corresponding FILE node. See OFFSET documentation for finer details. E.g. for METHOD nodes this end offset points to the first code position which is not part of the method.

▸ Order (Int); Cardinality one (mandatory with default value -1); This integer indicates the position of the node among its siblings in the AST. The left-most child has an order of 0.

▸ TypeFullName (String); Cardinality one (mandatory with default value <empty>); This field contains the fully-qualified static type name of the program construct represented by a node. It is the name of an instantiated type, e.g., java.util.List<Integer>, rather than java.util.List[T]. If the type cannot be determined, this field should be set to the empty string.
