Namespace predef::

Description

This is the default namespace and contains lots of global symbols.

Typedef utf8_string

typedef __attribute__("utf8_string", string(8bit)) utf8_string

Description

String containing UTF-8 encoded data.

This is similar to a string(8bit), but allows the compiler to keep track of whether strings are UTF-8 or not.

string_to_utf8(), utf8_to_string()

Typedef zero

typedef int(0) zero

Description

Zero datatype.

Constant UNDEFINED

constant UNDEFINED

Description

The undefined value; ie a zero for which zero_type() returns 1.

Constant __null_program

constant __null_program

Description

Program used internally by the compiler to create objects that are later modified into instances of the compiled program by the compiler.

__placeholder_object

Constant __placeholder_object

constant __placeholder_object

Description

Object used internally by the compiler.

Constant sprintf_args

constant sprintf_args

Description

Type constant used for typing extra arguments that are sent to sprintf().

Constant sprintf_format

constant sprintf_format

Description

Type constant used for typing arguments that are optionally sent to sprintf() depending on the presence of extra arguments.

Constant sprintf_result

Description

Type constant used for typing the return value from sprintf().

Constant strict_sprintf_format

constant strict_sprintf_format

Description

Type constant used for typing arguments that are always sent to sprintf() regardless of the presence of extra arguments.

Description

Builtin read only variable that evaluates to the current object.

this_program, this_object()

Constant this_function

constant this_function

Description

Builtin constant that evaluates to the current function.

continue::this_function, this, this_object()

Constant this_program

Description

Builtin constant that evaluates to the current program.

Variable _static_modules

object _static_modules

Description

This is an object containing the classes for all static (ie non-dynamic) C-modules.

In a typic Pike with support for dynamic modules the contained module classes are:

Builtin

Gmp

_Stdio

_math

_system

If the Pike binary lacks support for dynamic modules, all C-modules will show up here.
