Constructor Details

LibrarySymbol

public LibrarySymbol(SymbolManager symbolMgr,
 DBObjectCache<SymbolDB> cache,
 Address address,
 DBRecord record)

Constructs a new Library Symbol

Parameters:

symbolMgr - the symbol manager

cache - symbol object cache

address - the address for this symbol

record - the record for this symbol

Method Details

setName

public void setName(String newName,
 SourceType source)
             throws DuplicateNameException,
InvalidInputException

Description copied from interface: Symbol

Sets the name this symbol. If this symbol is dynamic, then the name is set and the symbol is no longer dynamic.

Specified by:

setName in interface Symbol

Overrides:

setName in class SymbolDB

Parameters:

newName - the new name for this symbol.

source - the source of this symbol
Some symbol types, such as function symbols, can set the source to Symbol.DEFAULT.

Throws:

DuplicateNameException - if name already exists as the name of another symbol or alias.

InvalidInputException - if alias contains blank characters, is zero length, or is null

setNameAndNamespace

public void setNameAndNamespace(String newName,
 Namespace newNamespace,
 SourceType source)
                         throws DuplicateNameException,
InvalidInputException,
CircularDependencyException

Description copied from interface: Symbol

Sets the symbols name and namespace. This is provided to allow the caller to avoid a name conflict by creating an autonomous action.

Specified by:

setNameAndNamespace in interface Symbol

Overrides:

setNameAndNamespace in class SymbolDB

Parameters:

newName - new symbol name

newNamespace - new parent namespace

source - the source of this symbol
Some symbol types, such as function symbols, can set the source to Symbol.DEFAULT.

Throws:

DuplicateNameException - if newNamespace already contains a symbol with this symbol's name

InvalidInputException - is newNamespace is not a valid parent for this symbol

CircularDependencyException - if this symbol is an ancestor of newNamespace

setSymbolStringData

public void setSymbolStringData(String newPath)

Description copied from class: SymbolDB

Sets the symbol's string data field. This field's data has different uses depending on the symbol type and whether or not it is external.

Overrides:

setSymbolStringData in class SymbolDB

Parameters:

newPath - the string to store in the string data field

getSymbolType

public SymbolType getSymbolType()

Description copied from interface: Symbol

Returns this symbol's type

Returns:

symbol type

isExternal

public boolean isExternal()

Description copied from interface: Symbol

Returns true if this an external symbol.

Returns:

true if this an external symbol.

See Also:

getObject

public Object getObject()

Returns:

object associated with this symbol or null if symbol has been deleted

isPrimary

public boolean isPrimary()

Specified by:

isPrimary in interface Symbol

Specified by:

isPrimary in class SymbolDB

Returns:

true if this symbol is primary

isValidParent

public boolean isValidParent(Namespace parent)

Description copied from interface: Symbol

Determines if the given parent is valid for this Symbol. Specified namespace must belong to the same symbol table as this symbol.

Specified by:

isValidParent in interface Symbol

Overrides:

isValidParent in class SymbolDB

Parameters:

parent - prospective parent namespace for this symbol

Returns:

true if parent is valid
