Resolver Methods

Add matching code object(s) IF they are extension methods.

Add matching code object(s).

Feed in existing match candidiates, including any parent expression required in order to evaluate generic type arguments (used by UnresolvedRef.ResolveMethodGroup()).

Check if the type arguments match, based upon the object type.

Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.

Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection.

We have multiple matching user-defined explicit conversion operators - try to find a single best conversion. [C# 4.0 section 6.4.5]

Find the better conversion of an expression to two candidate types. [C# 4.0 section 7.5.3.3] Returns 1 if the conversion to typeRef1 is better, 2 if the conversion to typeRef2 is better, 0 if neither is better.

Find the better conversion of a type to two candidate types. [C# 4.0 section 7.5.3.4] Returns 1 if the conversion to typeRefBase1 is better, 2 if the conversion to typeRefBase2 is better, 0 if neither is better.

Find the better conversion target of two candidate types. [C# 4.0 section 7.5.3.5] Returns 1 if typeRefBase1 is better, 2 if typeRefBase2 is better, 0 if neither is better.

Find the method that better matches the specified arguments. [C# 4.0 section 7.5.3.2] Returns the better-matching method object, or null if neither is better. Assumes that the two candidate methods have already been determined to be valid matches for the given arguments, using implicit conversions where necessary. If either of the method objects represents an extension method, then the TypeRef of the parent object that the methods are being called on must be supplied.

Find the more specific of two candidate types. [C# 4.0 section 7.5.3.2] Returns 1 if typeRef1 is more specific, 2 if typeRef2 is more specific, 0 if neither is more specific.

Get the IsPrivate access right of the object, and if not private then also get the IsProtected and IsInternal rights.

Get the value of the specified parameter of the specified attribute for the specified type or assembly object.

Get any CoClass attribute type for the specified object.

Serves as the default hash function.

Get the parameter at the specified index without evaluating any type parameters.

Get the arguments from the parent object.

Gets the Type of the current instance.

Returns true if there are any matches that aren't internal types imported from other assemblies/projects.

Determine if the target category is only valid at-or-below the MethodDecl level.

Determine if the target category is only valid at-or-below the Type level.

Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.

Remove a path from the base interface paths dictionary.

Attempt to resolve the associated UnresolvedRef object.

Resolve the reference as an attribute.

Resolve the right side of a '.'.

Resolve the right side of a '->'.

Resolve the reference using a known category.

This method is called to resolve a symbol in the situation where a category couldn't be determined. Because parsing can always determine the category in various situations, this method should never be called for: Generic Types, Namespaces, Methods (with parens), Constructors, Attributes, Goto Targets, Directive Expressions, literal constants, Indexers, Events, variables of delegate type. So, it doesn't need to worry about type arguments or method arguments. This leaves the possibilities of: Non-Generic Types, Type Parameters, Properties, Fields, Locals, Parameters, and non-invoked Method names (without parens, such as when assigned to delegates or passed as a parameter of delegate type). Namespace prefixes can also exist for many of these.

Put a path pair into the base interface paths dictionary.

Returns a string that represents the current object.
