Indirect_Pointer_To_Member_Operand

class Indirect_Pointer_To_Member_Operand (abstract, logical)

Access to a subobject of a dereferenced object, where the subobject is specified by a pointer-to-member: obj->*pm. Subclasses distinguish: read/write/address

• implements Pointer_To_Member_Operand_Interface

Direct parents:

• inherits Indirect_Partial_Operand

Ancestor classes and implemented interfaces:

• subclass Indirect_Pointer_To_Member_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
Pointer_To_Member (from Pointer_To_Member_Operand_Interface)	semantic	class Object	the pointer which is dereferenced to get the field or method
