34.1. Scope checks
- is_local_expr(expr: ExpressionPtr) : bool()

- Arguments
expr : ExpressionPtr
- is_local_or_global_expr(expr: ExpressionPtr) : bool()
Returns true if expression is local the current scope or global scope.
- Arguments
expr : ExpressionPtr
- is_scope_expr(expr: ExpressionPtr) : bool()
Returns true if the expression is a scoped expression, i.e. eventually points to a variable.
- Arguments
expr : ExpressionPtr
34.2. Uncategorized
- is_temp_safe(expr: ExpressionPtr) : bool()
Returns true if the exression had no calls, [] or table [] operators of any kind. This is used to check expression can be safely casted to temp type.
