    • Method Detail

      • getMnemonic

        public java.lang.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 (number of 8-bit bytes) of this DataType.

        NOTE: No datatype should ever return 0, even if DataType.isZeroLength(), and only Dynamic 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
      • getDescription

        public java.lang.String getDescription()
        Description copied from interface: DataType
        Get a String briefly describing this DataType.
        Returns:
        a one-liner describing this DataType.
      • getValue

        public java.lang.Object getValue​(MemBuffer buf,
                                         Settings settings,
                                         int length)
        Description copied from interface: DataType
        Get the data in the form of the appropriate Object for this DataType.

        For instance if the datatype is an AddressDT, return an Address object. a Byte, return a Scalar* (maybe this should be a Byte) a Float, return a Float

        Parameters:
        buf - the data buffer.
        settings - the settings to use.
        length - the number of bytes to get the value from.
        Returns:
        the data Object.
      • getRepresentation

        public java.lang.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.
      • getBuiltInSettingsDefinitions

        protected SettingsDefinition[] getBuiltInSettingsDefinitions()
        Description copied from class: BuiltIn
        Gets a list of all the settingsDefinitions used by this datatype.
        Overrides:
        getBuiltInSettingsDefinitions in class BuiltIn
        Returns:
        a list of the settingsDefinitions used by this datatype.
      • getString

        protected java.lang.String getString​(MemBuffer buf,
                                             Settings settings)
      • getDefaultLabelPrefix

        public java.lang.String getDefaultLabelPrefix()
        Description copied from interface: DataType
        Returns the appropriate string to use as the default label prefix in the absence of any data.
        Specified by:
        getDefaultLabelPrefix in interface DataType
        Overrides:
        getDefaultLabelPrefix in class AbstractDataType
        Returns:
        the default label prefix or null if none specified.
      • clone

        public DataType clone​(DataTypeManager dtm)
        Description copied from interface: DataType
        Returns an instance of this DataType with its universalID and SourceArchive identity retained.

        The current instanceof will be returned if this datatype's DataTypeManager matches the specified dtm. The recursion depth of a clone will stop on any datatype whose DataTypeManager matches the specified dtm and simply use the existing datatype instance.

        Parameters:
        dtm - the data-type manager instance whose data-organization should apply.
        Returns:
        cloned instance which may be the same as this instance
