## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

## QoreNamespace()

DLLEXPORT QoreNamespace::QoreNamespace | ( | const char * | n | ) |

## addConstant() [1/2]

DLLEXPORT void QoreNamespace::addConstant | ( | const char * | name,
|  | QoreValue | value
| ) |  |

adds a constant definition to the namespace

use addConstant(const char* name, QoreValue value, const QoreTypeInfo* typeInfo) when adding constants of externally-defined base (non-class) types; all other types (and all objects) can have their type information automatically added

Parameters

  name | the name of the constant to add
  value | the value of the constant

## addConstant() [2/2]

DLLEXPORT void QoreNamespace::addConstant | ( | const char * | name,
|  | QoreValue | value,

| ) |  |

adds a constant definition to the namespace with type information

Parameters

  name | the name of the constant to add
  value | the value of the constant
  typeInfo | the type of the constant

  QoreTypeInfoHelper

## addInitialNamespace()

DLLEXPORT void QoreNamespace::addInitialNamespace | ( | QoreNamespace * | ns | ) |

adds a subnamespace to the namespace

use this function when the QoreNamespace can be added directly to the tree (does not need to be merged with another namespace of the same name and does not contain user code)

Parameters

  ns | the subnamespace to add to the namespace

## addNamespace()

DLLEXPORT void QoreNamespace::addNamespace | ( | QoreNamespace * | ns | ) |

adds a namespace to the namespace tree

the namespace must be unique, must also not clash with a class name in the same parent namespace

Parameters

  ns | the namespace to add, memory is now owned by parent namespace

## addSystemClass()

DLLEXPORT void QoreNamespace::addSystemClass | ( | QoreClass * | oc | ) |

adds a class to a namespace

Parameters

  oc | the class to add to the namespace

## addSystemHashDecl()

DLLEXPORT void QoreNamespace::addSystemHashDecl | ( | TypedHashDecl * | hashdecl | ) |

adds a hashdecl to a namespace

Parameters

  hashdecl | the hashdecl to add to the namespace

Since
  Qore 0.8.13

## clear()

DLLEXPORT void QoreNamespace::clear | ( | ExceptionSink * | xsink | ) |

clears the contents of the namespace before deleting

use if the namespace could contain objects

Since
  Qore 0.8.13

## copy() [1/2]

DLLEXPORT QoreNamespace* QoreNamespace::copy | ( | int | po | ) | const

returns a deep copy of the namespace; DEPRECATED: use copy(int64) instead

Parameters

  po | parse options to use when copying the namespace

Returns
  a deep copy of the namespace

## copy() [2/2]

DLLEXPORT QoreNamespace* QoreNamespace::copy | ( | int64 | po = `PO_DEFAULT` | ) | const

returns a deep copy of the namespace

Parameters

  po | parse options to use when copying the namespace

Returns
  a deep copy of the namespace

## findCreateNamespacePath()

DLLEXPORT QoreNamespace* QoreNamespace::findCreateNamespacePath | ( | const char * | nspath | ) |

finds a Namespace based on the argument; creates it (or the whole path) if necessary

can only be called in the parse lock

Parameters

  nspath | must be a complete path ("ns1::ns2[::ns3...]" to a namespace, which will be found or created in this namespace; the last element of the path is ignored

Returns
  the namespace found or created according to the path

Note
  - namespaces are created private by default
  - the last element of the path is assumed to be the new symbol to be added and is ignored when creating the namespaces; use findCreateNamespacePathAll() to create namespaces for all elements of the path

## findCreateNamespacePathAll()

DLLEXPORT QoreNamespace* QoreNamespace::findCreateNamespacePathAll | ( | const char * | nspath | ) |

finds a Namespace based on the argument; creates it (or the whole path) if necessary

can only be called in the parse lock

Parameters

  nspath | must be a complete path ("ns1::ns2[::ns3...]" to a namespace, which will be found or created in this namespace; the last element of the path is not ignored and the final namespace is created with this name

Returns
  the namespace found or created according to the path

Note
  - namespaces are created private by default

Since
  Qore 0.9.5
