Detailed Description

A parameter with a formal backing Symbol.

Input parameters generally have a symbol associated with them. This class holds a reference to the Symbol object and pulls the relevant parameter information off of it.

Member Function Documentation

◆ getSymbol()

Symbol * ParameterSymbol::getSymbol ( void ) const

virtual

Retrieve the formal Symbol associated with this parameter.

If there is no backing symbol an exception is thrown

Returns: the backing Symbol object

Implements ProtoParameter.

References sym.

◆ overrideSizeLockType()

void ParameterSymbol::overrideSizeLockType ( Datatype * ct )

virtual

Change (override) the data-type of a size-locked parameter.

The original parameter must have a type-lock and TYPE_UNKNOWN data-type. The size-lock is preserved and this can be cleared back to its TYPE_UNKNOWN state.
