Check that IExpression is lvalue

Hello Ilya,

I think the else branch in the value.IsLValue check will not execute. Besides,
you check for static fields in non-static constructor, but do not check for
non-static fields in static constructor. Why do you perform these checks?

Hi,

I have an expression - IExpression object - and I want to check if it
is lvalue or not.

Now I do as follows:

private static bool IsLValue(IExpression expression)
{
IReferenceExpression refExpression = expression as
IReferenceExpression;
if (refExpression != null)
{
ResolveResult resolveResult = refExpression.Reference.Resolve();
if (resolveResult.DeclaredElement != null)
{
IDeclaredElement refElement = resolveResult.DeclaredElement;
IValue value = refElement.ToValue(refExpression.Language);
if (value.IsLValue)
return true;
else
{
IField field = refElement as IField;
if (field != null && field.IsField)
{
IConstructorDeclaration ctor =
expression.GetContainingTypeMemberDeclaration()
as IConstructorDeclaration;
if ((ctor != null) && (!field.IsStatic || ctor.IsStatic))
return true;
}
}
}
}
return expression.IsClassifiedAsVariable;
}
Is this correct?

Sincerely,
Ilya Ryzhenkov

Thanks,
Andrey Simanovsky

Check http://users.netix.ru/orangy/nerpa/
I need these checks to ensure, that swapping assignments source and destination
produces valid code. I'm not sure I must do such checks for such context
action, but I tried to learn OpenAPI.

I think it is enough to check for lvalue without constructor checks (consider
"garbage in - garbage out" senarios). Otherwise you may also need to check
for reachable assignments of the right part:
int i, j = 0;
i = j; // swarp result will not compile because i is not assigned up to here

context
action, but I tried to learn OpenAPI.

I just fear that such an example makes people avoid the API rather than use
it.:)

Also, you have to check IExpression.IsClassifiedAsVariable

Isn't it what is written on return statement?

Yes, sorry my mistake
