Cpp.ClassSpecifier Class

Namespace: Cpp
Superclasses: AstNodeProperties

Represents the class_specifier nodes in the syntax tree of your code

Since R2026a

Description

ClassSpecifier class represents the C++ syntax node class_specifier in your code and contains predicates to query properties and children of this node.

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 ClassSpecifier &cls)`	Finds syntax nodes of the type `ClassSpecifier` in your C++ code and returns them as `cls`. A `ClassSpecifier` represents a class or struct definition.
`isa(Cpp.Node.Node node)`	Checks if `node` is a `ClassSpecifier`. Use this relation if you want to negate the condition (for example: `not Cpp.ClassSpecifier.isa(n)`).
`cast(Cpp.Node.Node node, required ClassSpecifier &cast)`	Finds syntax nodes of the type `ClassSpecifier` from the nodes in `node`. Retrieval occurs if `node` is compatible with the `ClassSpecifier` type. Use this relation if you need further `ClassSpecifier` properties.
`name(ClassSpecifier self, Cpp.Node.Node &child)`	Matches the name of the class. For example, in `class MyClass {}`, this predicate matches `MyClass`.
`body(ClassSpecifier self, Cpp.Node.Node &child)`	Matches the body of the class definition. For example, in `class MyClass { ... }`, this predicate matches the class body `{ ... }`.
`baseClassClause(ClassSpecifier self, Cpp.Node.Node &child)`	Matches the base class clause of the class. For example, in `class Derived : public Base {}`, this predicate matches `: public Base`.
`msDeclspecModifier(ClassSpecifier self, Cpp.Node.Node &child)`	Matches a Microsoft-specific `__declspec` modifier applied to the class. For example, in `class __declspec(dllexport) MyClass {}`, this predicate matches `__declspec(dllexport)`.
`virtualSpecifier(ClassSpecifier self, Cpp.Node.Node &child)`	Matches a virtual specifier applied to the class. For example, in `class MyClass final {}`, this predicate matches `final`.
`alignasQualifier(ClassSpecifier self, Cpp.Node.Node &child)`	Matches an `alignas` qualifier applied to the class. For example, in `class alignas(16) MyClass {}`, this predicate matches `alignas(16)`.
`attributeDeclaration(ClassSpecifier self, Cpp.Node.Node &child)`	Matches an attribute declaration applied to the class. For example, in `class [[deprecated]] MyClass {}`, this predicate matches `[[deprecated]]`.
`attributeSpecifier(ClassSpecifier self, Cpp.Node.Node &child)`	Matches an attribute specifier applied to the class. For example, in `class [[nodiscard]] MyClass {}`, this predicate matches `[[nodiscard]]`.
`isEnclosedInClassSpecifier(Cpp.Node.Node child)`	Checks if `child` appears inside a `ClassSpecifier`.
`getEnclosingClassSpecifier(Cpp.Node.Node child, required ClassSpecifier &parent)`	Finds the nearest enclosing `ClassSpecifier` ancestor of `child` and returns it as `parent`.
