A Field is a Variable associated with a Classifier (a ClassVariable), or with instances of a Classifier (an InstanceVariable).

Specification

Metaclass Field
Extends Variable
Description A a Variable associated with a Classifier (a ClassVariable), or with instances of a Classifier (an InstanceVariable).
Direct Subkinds ClassVariable, InstanceVariable
All Superkinds Variable, Node, ModelElement
Specified In Edges

Inherited From In Edge Predecessor Multiplicity Description
Variable DataFlow (Edge) DataFlow (Node) Connects DataFlow nodes to one another and to Variables, linking the origin of data to locations that it is modified or consumed.
Specified Out Edges

Inherited From Out Edge Successor Multiplicity Description
Variable DataFlow (Edge) DataFlow (Node) Connects DataFlow nodes to one another and to Variables, linking the origin of data to locations that it is modified or consumed.

DefinedAs TypeAlias 0..1 Connects a Variable or DataFlow node which received its Type via a TypeAlias (such as a C/C++ typedef) to that TypeAlias.
InstanceVariableWritten InstanceVariableAssignment Connects a value (DataFlow (Node) or Variable) representing an object instance to an InstanceVariableAssignment representing a write to a field of that object.
TypeOf Type 1 Links a Variable or DataFlow node to its Type

InterproceduralDataFlow Assignment Represents data flows between Functions, or involving Variables visible to multiple Functions.
