An expression that forces value to be copied. In the example below, copy marks the copy expression:
let y = ...
let x = copy y

Predicates
| getAPrimaryQlClass | Gets the name of a primary CodeQL class to which this element belongs. |
| getImmediateSubExpr | Gets the sub expression of this copy expression. |
| getSubExpr | Gets the sub expression of this copy expression. |
Inherited predicates
| convertsFrom | from Expr | |
| getConversion | from Expr | |
| getConversion | from Expr | |
| getEnclosingCallable | Gets the nearest | from AstNode |
| getEnclosingDecl | Gets the nearest declaration that contains this AST node, if any. | from AstNode |
| getEnclosingFunction | Gets the nearest function definition that contains this AST node, if any. This includes functions, methods, (de)initializers, and accessors, but not closures. | from AstNode |
| getFile | Gets the primary file where this element occurs. | from Locatable |
| getFullyConverted | from Expr | |
| getFullyUnresolved | from Element | |
| getImmediateType | Gets the type of this expression, if it exists. | from Expr |
| getLocation | Gets the location associated with this element in the code, if it exists. | from Locatable |
| getPrimaryQlClasses | Gets a comma-separated list of the names of the primary CodeQL classes to which this element belongs. | from Element |
| getResolveStep | Gets the most immediate element that should substitute this element in the explicit AST, if any. Classes can override this to indicate this node should be in the “hidden” AST, mostly reserved for conversions and syntactic sugar nodes like parentheses. | from Expr |
| getType | Gets the type of this expression, if it exists. | from Expr |
| getUnconverted | from Expr | |
| hasConversions | from Expr | |
| hasLocation | Holds if | from Locatable |
| hasType | Holds if | from Expr |
| isConversion | from Expr | |
| isUnknown | Holds if this element is unknown. | from Element |
| resolve | Gets the element that should substitute this element in the explicit AST, applying | from Element |
| toString | Gets the string representation of this element. | from Element |
