CodeQL library for C and C++¶

When analyzing C or C++ code, you can use the large collection of classes in the CodeQL library for C and C++.

About the CodeQL library for C and C++¶

There is an extensive library for analyzing CodeQL databases extracted from C/C++ projects. The classes in this library present the data from a database in an object-oriented form and provide abstractions and predicates to help you with common analysis tasks. The library is implemented as a set of QL modules, that is, files with the extension .qll. The module cpp.qll imports all the core C/C++ library modules, so you can include the complete library by beginning your query with:

import cpp

The rest of this topic summarizes the available CodeQL classes and corresponding C/C++ constructs.

Commonly-used library classes¶

The most commonly used standard library classes are listed below. The listing is broken down by functionality. Each library class is annotated with a C/C++ construct it corresponds to.
