# Interface: com.pnfsoftware.jeb.core.units.code.asm.decompiler.ir.IEVar

Representation of an IR variable. Also a polymorphic placeholder for a variety of terminal expressions. 

 Variables can represent underlying physical registers, virtual registers, local variables, global variables, etc. The class of an IEVar can be retrieved from its [id](#getId()). Global\-scope \([IEGlobalContext](IEGlobalContext)\) ids are positive or zero; local\-scope \([IERoutineContext](IERoutineContext)\) ids are negative.

## Static Field: FLAG_LIKELY_COPIED_PARAM
Type: `int`

Constant value: `64`
Description: Variables with this flag are stack variables likely to be copies of input parameters, that may have been provided in physical registers. 

 SUch variables should not be treated as local vars when it comes to may\-use/may\-def calculations for statements that access memory, such as EMem or ECall. That yields cleaner conservative data chains.

## Static Field: FLAG_LIKELY_SAVED_VAR
Type: `int`

Constant value: `32`
Description: Variables with this flag are stack variables likely to be defensive copies of registers that need to be preserved. 

 Such variables should not be treated as local vars when it comes to may\-use/may\-def calculations for statements that access memory, such as EMem or ECall. That yields cleaner conservative data chains.

## Static Field: FLAG_NO_COPY
Type: `int`

Constant value: `16`
Description: This variable should not be copied: duplicates, pairs, splits generally created during SSA\- or SSA\-like passes are forbidden. The original var should be used \(and therefore, types are unlikely to be applied to it.\)
