public interface IExpression
| AccessType |
Specifies the private/protected/public modifier of the expression. This affects the icon displayed by Visual Studio.
|
| Children |
Returns an object providing various information about the children of the expression (e.g. fields of a C++ object).
|
| DataOrCode |
Specifies whether the expression represents an executable function or a data object. This affects the color of the icon used by Visual Studio.
|
| FullNameForEvaluator |
Specifies the internal GDB expression name (returned by -var-info-path-expression) that can be specified to reevaluate a derived expression with IExpressionEvaluator.EvaluateExpression.
The expression filters should use it when querying derived expression values.
|
| HasRawStringValue |
If true, the expression has a corresponding "raw value". Visual Studio will show the magnifying glass icon near the expression value allowing the user to view the value.
|
| IsArray |
Specifies whether the expression represents an array. VisualGDB uses it to derive full name correctly.
|
| IsCharacterArray |
Specifies whether the expression represents a pointer to a null-terminated string. VisualGDB uses it to display the string value correctly.
|
| IsPointer |
Specifies whether the expression represents a pointer. VisualGDB uses it to derive full name correctly.
|
| ShortName |
Specifies the short name displayed in the 'Name' column of the Watch window.
|
| Size |
Specifies the size in bytes of the object represented by the expression.
|
| Type |
Specifies the type displayed in the 'Type' column of the Watch window.
|
| Value |
Specifies the value of the object.
|
| GetRawStringValue |
Returns the long string value displayed when the user clicks at the magnifying glass icon on the expression.
|
| TryGetFullName |
Returns the C++ expression that can be used to re-evaluate the expression (e.g. when it is dragged to the Memory window).
If null, VisualGDB will construct it automatically based on the parent expression and the IsArray/IsPointer properties.
|
| TrySetValue |
Tries to modify the value of the expression.
