IsLazy

Is this config type lazy?

public virtual property IsLazy { get }

inherited ConfigNode.ClearRange

See also:

ConfigNode.Range

Equals

Compares this object with the given one.

[Pure]
public method Equals (ConfigType other)
type bool
params other The object to compare to.
returns true if this object is equal to other, false if not.
inherited ConfigType.Equals

FindAt

Finds all config nodes which code range (see Range) intersects with the given range (see Intersects).

params range The code range to intersect with.
  nodes [not-null] The output nodes.
inherited ConfigNode.FindAt

FixTry

Tries to fix the given expression.

public method FixTry (ConfigExpression expr)
type ConfigExpression
params expr [not-null] The expression to fix.
returns [not-null] The fixed expression or expr if fixing is not possible.
inherited ConfigType.FixTry

Remarks:

This class type is used as the expected type. The method tries to find a distinct sequence of syntactic fixes so that the expression type becomes convertible to this class type.

Checks if the given config value can be fixed so that its type becomes convertible to this config type.

public method FixTry (ConfigValue value, ConfigType superType = null)
type bool
params value [not-null] The config value to fix.
  superType Optional super type to which the fixed value must be assignable to. Defaults to null.
returns true if value can be fixed, false if not.
inherited ConfigType.FixTry

GetItem

Returns an enum item.

public method GetItem (int32 index)
type EnumItem
params index [0..ItemCount-1] Index of enum item.
returns The enum item.

GetItemOrdinal

Returns the ordinal number of the given enum item.

public method GetItemOrdinal (string name, bool tag = false)
type int32
params name The enum item name.
  tag Use tag name?
returns [-1..ItemCount-1] Ordinal number of enum item or -1 if name is not a valid enum item name.

IsAssignableTo

Checks if this config type is assignable to the given type.

public override method IsAssignableTo (ConfigType other)
type bool
params other [not-null] The other type.
returns true if this type is assignable to the given one, false if not.
overrides ConfigType.IsAssignableTo

Remarks:

Equal types are always assignable to each other (see Equals). Additionally, a type A is assignable to a type B if one of these conditions are met:

IsConvertibleTo

Checks if this config type is convertible to the given type (i.e. possibly failing, possibly lossy implicit conversion).

[EmptyBody]
public override method IsConvertibleTo (ConfigType other, bool always = false)
type bool
params other [not-null] The other config type.
  always When set to true, the method will return true iff this type is always convertible to other. When set to false, this method will return true even if a conversion might fail at runtime, causing a ConfigException to be thrown (e.g. invalid string to number). Defaults to false.
returns true if this type is convertible to the given one, false if not.
overrides ConfigType.IsConvertibleTo

Remarks:

The following table shows the types A that are convertible to the types B: 

A \ B | Array |  Bool | Class |  Enum |  Num  |  Path |  Str  |
------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+
Array |  (1)  |  (2)  |       |       |       |       |  (3)  |
------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+
Bool  |       | (17)  |       |       |  (4)  |       |  (5)  |
------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+
Class |       |  (2)  | (17)  |       |       |       |       |
------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+
Enum  |       |       |       | (17)  |  (6)  |       |  (7)  |
------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+
Num   |       |  (8)  |       |  (9)  | (17)  |       | (10)  |
------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+
Path  |       | (11)  |       |       |       | (17)  | (12)  |
------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+
Str   |       | (13)  |       | (14)  | (15)  | (16)  | (17)  |
Two types that are assignable will always be convertible. A failed conversion attempt will yield Invalid values.
The conversions outlined above are explained here:
  1. An array type A is convertible to an array type B iff the element type of A is convertible to the element type of B.
  2. The negated result of IsNull is used as the converted value.
  3. Each array element is converted to Str and the resulting tokens are concatenated using ',' as the glue. If one or more array elements cannot be converted, the result will be Invalid.
  4. true =>1, false =>0
  5. true =>'true', false =>'false'
  6. The ordinal value of the enum item (see GetItemOrdinal) is used.
  7. The tag value of the enum item (see Tag) is used.
  8. 0 =>false, all other values yield true.
  9. The number is used as the enum item ordinal value (see GetItem ). Will result in Invalid if the number lies outside of the range of valid ordinal values.
  10. The number is formatted as a string (using NumberFormat with round-trip precision):
    123.45 =>'123.45'.
  11. Will be true iff the path value refers to an existing file or directory (depending on IsTrailing).
  12. The path value is used for the assignment (see ToString).
  13. Will be false if the string is null, empty or consists only of whitespaces (see IsEmptyOrWhitespace).
  14. If the string value is equal to the tag of an enum item (see Tag), that enum item will be used. Will be Invalid if not found.
  15. The string value is parsed as a number (see NumberParse). Will be Invalid for unparseable string values.
  16. The string value is converted to a Path (see From). Will be Invalid for bad path strings.
  17. Assignable types (see IsAssignableTo) are always convertible.
When a conversion fails and the result is Invalid, a ConfigException will be thrown, unless the conversion took place during evaluation of a config expression (see Evaluate).

Resolve

Resolves all references in this PSI node.

public override sealed method Resolve ()
type ResolveResult
returns The result of the resolver cycle.
inherited ConfigType.Resolve

ResolveLazy

Resolves this config type into a non-lazy one.

public virtual method ResolveLazy ()
type ConfigType
returns [not-null] The non-lazy config type.
inherited ConfigType.ResolveLazy

SetParseInfo

Provides additional information about the parsing process.

public method SetParseInfo (RangeI range)
params range The source code range.
inherited ConfigNode.SetParseInfo

ShortName

Returns the shortest non-ambiguous name for this config type.

public virtual method ShortName (IVectorConst<string> prefixes = null, ClassType superClass = null)
type string
params prefixes The name prefixes or null.
  superClass The class hierarchy root to use for finding name clashes.
returns [not-null] The short name.

Uses this type as the element type and returns the corresponding array type.

public virtual method ToArray ()
type ArrayType
returns [not-null] The array type.
inherited ConfigType.ToArray

ToString

[Pure]
public override method ToString ()
type string
