    • Method Detail

      • getLength

        public int getLength​(MemBuffer buf,
                             int maxLength)
        Description copied from interface: Dynamic
        Compute the length for this data-type which corresponds to the specified memory location.
        Specified by:
        getLength in interface Dynamic
        Parameters:
        buf - memory location
        maxLength - maximum number of bytes to consume in computing length, or -1 for unspecified.
        Returns:
        data length or -1 if it could not be determined. Returned length may exceed maxLength if data-type does not supported constrained lengths.
      • canSpecifyLength

        public boolean canSpecifyLength()
        Description copied from interface: Dynamic
        Determine if the length may be specified for an instanceof this datatype (e.g., Data, Array, DataTypeComponent, etc.).
        Specified by:
        canSpecifyLength in interface Dynamic
        Returns:
        true if a user-specified length can be used, else false
      • 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.

        Specified by:
        clone in interface DataType
        Parameters:
        dtm - the data-type manager instance whose data-organization should apply.
        Returns:
        cloned instance which may be the same as this instance

        Specified by:
        getDescription in interface DataType
        Returns:
        a one-liner describing this DataType.
      • 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

        Returns:
        the mnemonic for this DataType.

                                                  int length)
        Description copied from interface: DataType
        Get bytes from memory in a printable format for this type.
        Specified by:
        getRepresentation in interface DataType
        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.
      • getValue

        public java.lang.Object getValue​(MemBuffer buf,

                                         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
