	get_parent_contexts ($includeself=false)
	Returns parent contexts of this context in reversed order, i.e. More...
	get_url ()

	is_locked ()
	Whether the current context is locked. More...
	is_parent_of (context $possiblechild, bool $includeself)
	Determine if the current context is a parent of the possible child. More...
	mark_dirty ()

	reload_if_dirty ()

	set_locked (bool $locked)
	Set whether this context has been locked or not. More...
	update_moved (context $newparent)
	Update context info after moving context in the tree structure. More...

Static Public Member Functions
static	instance_by_id ($id, $strictness=MUST_EXIST)
	Get a context instance as an object, from a given context id. More...

Protected Member Functions
	__construct (stdClass $record)
	Constructor is protected so that devs are forced to use context_xxx::instance() or context::instance_by_id(). More...

Static Protected Member Functions
static	build_paths ($force)
	Rebuild context paths and depths at context level. More...
static	cache_add (context $context)
	Adds a context to the cache. More...
static	cache_get ($contextlevel, $instance)
	Gets a context from the cache. More...
static	cache_get_by_id ($id)
	Gets a context from the cache based on its id. More...
static	cache_remove (context $context)
	Removes a context from the cache. More...
static	create_instance_from_record (stdClass $record)
	This function is also used to work around 'protected' keyword problems in context_helper. More...
static	create_level_instances ()
	Create missing context instances at given level. More...
static	get_cleanup_sql ()
	Returns sql necessary for purging of stale context instances. More...
static	insert_context_record ($contextlevel, $instanceid, $parentpath)
	Utility method for context creation. More...
static	merge_context_temp_table ()
	Copy prepared new contexts from temp table to context table, we do this in db specific way for perf reasons only.
static	preload_from_record (stdClass $rec)
	Preloads context information from db record and strips the cached info. More...
static	reset_caches ()
	Resets the cache to remove all data. More...

Protected Attributes
int	$_contextlevel
	The context level Can be accessed publicly through $context->contextlevel One of CONTEXT_* e.g. More...
int	$_depth
	The depth of the context in relation to parent contexts Can be accessed publicly through $context->depth.
int	$_id
	The context id Can be accessed publicly through $context->id.
int	$_instanceid
	Id of the item this context is related to e.g. More...
int	$_locked
	Whether this context is locked or not. More...
string	$_path
	The path to the context always starting from the system context Can be accessed publicly through $context->path.
string const	DEFAULT_CAPABILITY_SORT = 'contextlevel, component, name'
	Default sorting of capabilities in {. More...

Static Protected Attributes
static int	$cache_count = 0
	Context count Why do we do count contexts? Because count($array) is horribly slow for large arrays.
static array	$cache_preloaded = array()
	Context caching info.
static context_system	$systemcontext = null
	The system context once initialised.
