Member Function Documentation

◆ GetAtIndex() [1/2]

Variable & gd::Variable::GetAtIndex ( const size_t index )

Return the element with the specified index.

If the variable does not have the specified index, the array will be filled up to that index with empty variables.

◆ GetAtIndex() [2/2]

const Variable & gd::Variable::GetAtIndex ( const size_t index ) const

Return the element with the specified index.

If the variable has not the specified child, an empty variable is returned.

◆ GetChild() [1/2]

Variable & gd::Variable::GetChild ( const gd::String & name )

Return the child with the specified name.

If the variable has not the specified child, an empty variable with the specified name is added as child.

If the variable is not a structure or has not the specified child, an empty variable is returned.

◆ GetChild() [2/2]

const Variable & gd::Variable::GetChild ( const gd::String & name ) const

Return the child with the specified name.

If the variable has not the specified child, an empty variable with the specified name is added as child.

If the variable is not a structure or has not the specified child, an empty variable is returned.

◆ RemoveAtIndex()

void gd::Variable::RemoveAtIndex ( const size_t index )

Remove the element with the specified index.

And shifts all the next elements back by one.

◆ RemoveChild()

void gd::Variable::RemoveChild ( const gd::String & name )

Remove the child with the specified name.

If the variable is not a structure or has not the specified child, nothing is done.

◆ RenameChild()

bool gd::Variable::RenameChild	(	const gd::String &	oldName,
		const gd::String &	newName
	)

Rename the specified child.

If the variable is not a structure or has not the specified child, nothing is done.

Returns: true if the child was renamed, false otherwise.
