Constructor Details

AbstractComplexDataType

public AbstractComplexDataType(String name,
 AbstractFloatDataType floats,
 DataTypeManager dtm)

Method Details

getDefaultComplexDataType

protected static AbstractComplexDataType getDefaultComplexDataType(int size)

getComplexDataType

public static DataType getComplexDataType(int size,
 DataTypeManager dtm)

getMnemonic

public String getMnemonic(Settings settings)

Description copied from interface: DataType

Get the mnemonic for this DataType.

Specified by:

getMnemonic in interface DataType

Overrides:

getMnemonic in class AbstractDataType

Parameters:

settings - settings which may influence the result or null

Returns:

the mnemonic for this DataType.

getLength

public int getLength()

Description copied from interface: DataType

Get the length of this DataType as a number of 8-bit bytes.

For primitive datatypes this reflects the smallest varnode which can be used to contain its value (i.e., raw data length).

Example: For x86 32-bit gcc an 80-bit long double raw data length of 10-bytes will fit within a floating point register while its aligned-length of 12-bytes is used by the gcc compiler for data/array/component allocations to maintain alignment (i.e., sizeof(long double) ).

NOTE: Other than the VoidDataType, no datatype should ever return 0, even if DataType.isZeroLength(), and only Dynamic/FactoryDataType datatypes should return -1. If DataType.isZeroLength() is true a length of 1 should be returned. Where a zero-length datatype can be handled (e.g., Composite) the DataType.isZeroLength() method should be used.

Returns:

the length of this DataType

getAlignedLength

public int getAlignedLength()

Description copied from interface: DataType

Get the aligned-length of this datatype as a number of 8-bit bytes.

For primitive datatypes this is equivalent to the C/C++ "sizeof" operation within source code and should be used when determining Array element length or component sizing for a Composite. For Pointer, Composite and Array types this will return the same value as DataType.getLength().

Example: For x86 32-bit gcc an 80-bit long double raw data length of 10-bytes will fit within a floating point register while its aligned-length of 12-bytes is used by the gcc compiler for data/array/component allocations to maintain alignment (i.e., sizeof(long double) ).

NOTE: Other than the VoidDataType, no datatype should ever return 0, even if DataType.isZeroLength(), and only Dynamic / FactoryDataType / FunctionDefinition datatypes should return -1. If DataType.isZeroLength() is true a length of 1 should be returned.

Specified by:

getAlignedLength in interface DataType

Overrides:

getAlignedLength in class DataTypeImpl

Returns:

byte length of binary encoding.

getDescription

public String getDescription()

Description copied from interface: DataType

Get a String briefly describing this DataType.

Returns:

a one-liner describing this DataType.

getValue

public Object getValue(MemBuffer buf,
 Settings settings,
 int length)

Description copied from interface: DataType

Returns the interpreted data value as an instance of the advertised value class.

For instance, Pointer data types should return an Address object (or null), or integer data types should return a Scalar object.

Parameters:

buf - the data buffer

settings - the settings to use.

length - indicates the maximum number of bytes that may be consumed by a Dynamic datatype, otherwise this value is ignored. A value of -1 may be specified to allow a Dynamic datatype to determine the length based upon the actual data bytes

Returns:

the data object, or null if data is invalid

getRepresentation

public String getRepresentation(MemBuffer buf,
 Settings settings,
 int length)

Description copied from interface: DataType

Get bytes from memory in a printable format for this type.

Parameters:

buf - the data.

settings - the settings to use for the representation.

length - the number of bytes to represent.

Returns:

the representation of the data in this format, never null.
