Enum AlignmentType

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Comparable<AlignmentType>

    public enum AlignmentType
    extends java.lang.Enum<AlignmentType>
    AlignmentType specifies the type of alignment which applies to a composite data type. This can be DEFAULT, MACHINE, EXPLICIT. For packed composites, the length of the composite will be padded to force the length to a multiple of the computed alignment.

      Enum Constant Description
      DEFAULT
      DEFAULT - this data type's alignment is computed based upon its current pack setting and data organization rules.
      EXPLICIT
      MACHINE - this data type's alignment will be a multiple of the explicit alignment value specified for the datatype.
      MACHINE
      MACHINE - this data type's alignment will be a multiple of the machine alignment specified by the data organization.

      • DEFAULT

        public static final AlignmentType DEFAULT
        DEFAULT - this data type's alignment is computed based upon its current pack setting and data organization rules. If packing is disabled the computed alignment will be 1.
      • MACHINE

        public static final AlignmentType MACHINE
        MACHINE - this data type's alignment will be a multiple of the machine alignment specified by the data organization. In general, and for all non-packed composites, the computed alignment will match the machine alignment if this setting is used.
      • EXPLICIT

        public static final AlignmentType EXPLICIT
        MACHINE - this data type's alignment will be a multiple of the explicit alignment value specified for the datatype. For all non-packed composites, the computed alignment will match the machine alignment if this setting is used.

      • values

        public static AlignmentType[] values()
        Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:
        for (AlignmentType c : AlignmentType.values())
            System.out.println(c);
        
        Returns:
        an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
      • valueOf

        public static AlignmentType valueOf​(java.lang.String name)
        Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
        Parameters:
        name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
        Returns:
        the enum constant with the specified name
        Throws:
        java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
        java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null
