Indirect_Full_Operand

class Indirect_Full_Operand (abstract, logical)

Access to the whole dereferenced object: *obj. Subclasses distinguish: read/write Note that no address version of this operand exists: &*obj is always simplified to the Direct_Full_Operand obj.

Implemented interfaces:

• implements Full_Operand_Interface

Direct parents:

• inherits Indirect_Operand

Ancestor classes and implemented interfaces:

Execution_Node, Full_Operand_Interface, Indirect_Operand, Logical_IR_Root, Operand

Direct child classes:

• subclass Indirect_Full_Read_Operand

• subclass Indirect_Full_Write_Operand

Field	Kind	Type	Description
The_Object (from Operand)	semantic	interface General_Object_Interface	Affected object (direct case) or pointer (indirect case). For address operands, this can also be a routine. WARNING: because the meaning of this field is drastically different between direct operands and indirect operands, it is usually wrong to access this field without a preceding check of operand type!
Its_Type (from Operand)	semantic	class Type	The type of the operand. WARNING: For address operands, this field returns the pointed-to-type. That is, for int i, the operand &i will report Its_Type=int. Code using this field must check the read/write/address kind to avoid bugs!
Parent (from Logical_IR_Root)	semantic	class Logical_IR_Root
Physical (from Logical_IR_Root)	semantic to physical	class Physical_IR_Root
