Relationship Types

A relationship is a directed, binary dependency between two symbols. The Imagix 4D database recognizes the following relationship types. Unless otherwise noted, the relationship data is collected and updated by analyzing your source code.

	Aggregates	class1 => class2
		Represents class2 being used to declare members of class1.
	Base Class Of	class1 => class2
		Represents class2 inheriting from class1.
	Calls	function => function
		function => macro
		Represents macro being expanded when function is preprocessed.
	Contains	directory => directory or file
		file => symbol
		class => member
		function => local_variable
	Declares	file => symbol
		class => member
	Depends On	file1 => file2
		Indicates that rule exists in makefile that file1 is built from file2. This is collected using makefile_contents data source.
	Dynamic Calls	function1 => function2
		Represents function1 calling function2 dynamically, specifically through invoke() in the Java reflection API. Info is collected via Reflection Analysis report.
	Has Friend	class => class
	Has Type	variable => data_type
		function => data_type
		Represents function using data_type for the declaration of parameter or local variable.
	Includes	file1 => file2
		Represents file1 including files2, through a line such as #include <file2>.
	Overridden By	function1 => function2
		Represents a class1 member being overridden by a class2 member, where class2 inherits class1.
	Reads	function => variable
