cpiElementCompletePrevious

This function gets the value of the 'previous child complete' flag from the target syntax element. This attribute indicates whether the element tree is complete.

Syntax

CciBool cpiElementCompletePrevious(
  int*         returnCode,
  CciElement*  targetElement);

Parameters

returnCode
Receives the return code from the function (output).
Possible return codes are:
  • CCI_SUCCESS
  • CCI_EXCEPTION
  • CCI_INV_ELEMENT_OBJECT
targetElement
Specifies the address of the target syntax element object (input).

Return values

The value of the attribute is returned. If an error occurs, returnCode indicates the reason for the error.

Sample

This example is based on code taken from the sample parser file BipSampPluginParser.c. In the sample file, the code uses cpiElementCompleteNext.

if ((!cpiElementCompletePrevious(&rc, element)) &&
      (cpiElementType(&rc, element) == CCI_ELEMENT_TYPE_NAME)) {

    while ((!cpiElementCompletePrevious(&rc, element))     &&
           (!cpiFirstChild(&rc, element)) &&
           (pc->iCurrentElement))
    {
      pc->iCurrentElement = parsePreviousItem(parser, context, pc->iCurrentElement);
    }
