public class BadDataType extends BuiltIn implements Dynamic
Provides an implementation of a data type that is not valid (bad) as it is used in the program. For example, the class for the underlying data type may no longer be available or the data type may not fit where it has been placed in the program.This field is not meant to be loaded by the
ClassSearcher
, hence the X in the name.

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 interfaceDataType
- Overrides:
getMnemonic
in classAbstractDataType
- Parameters:
settings
- settings which may influence the result or null- Returns:
- the mnemonic for this DataType.
- See Also:
DataType.getMnemonic(Settings)
-
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 onlyDynamic
datatypes should return -1. IfDataType.isZeroLength()
is true a length of 1 should be returned. Where a zero-length datatype can be handled (e.g.,Composite
) theDataType.isZeroLength()
method should be used.- Specified by:
getLength
in interfaceDataType
- Returns:
- the length of this DataType
- See Also:
DataType.getLength()
-
getDescription
public java.lang.String getDescription()
Description copied from interface:DataType
Get a String briefly describing this DataType.- Specified by:
getDescription
in interfaceDataType
- Returns:
- a one-liner describing this DataType.
- See Also:
DataType.getDescription()
-
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
- Specified by:
getValue
in interfaceDataType
- Parameters:
buf
- the data buffer.settings
- the settings to use.length
- the number of bytes to get the value from.- Returns:
- the data Object.
- See Also:
DataType.getValue(ghidra.program.model.mem.MemBuffer, ghidra.docking.settings.Settings, int)
-
isEquivalent
public boolean isEquivalent(DataType dt)
Description copied from interface:DataType
Check if the given datatype is equivalent to this datatype.The precise meaning of "equivalent" is datatype dependent.
NOTE: if invoked by a DB object or manager it should be invoked on the DataTypeDB object passing the other datatype as the argument.- Specified by:
isEquivalent
in interfaceDataType
- Overrides:
isEquivalent
in classBuiltIn
- Parameters:
dt
- the datatype being tested for equivalence.- Returns:
- true if the if the given datatype is equivalent to this datatype.
-
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.- Specified by:
getRepresentation
in interfaceDataType
- 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.
- See Also:
DataType.getRepresentation(MemBuffer, Settings, int)
-
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.
-
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 interfaceDynamic
- Returns:
- true if a user-specified length can be used, else false
-
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 interfaceDynamic
- Parameters:
buf
- memory locationmaxLength
- 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.
-
getReplacementBaseType
public DataType getReplacementBaseType()
Description copied from interface:Dynamic
Returns a suitable replacement base data-type for pointers and arrays when exporting to C code- Specified by:
getReplacementBaseType
in interfaceDynamic
- Returns:
- suitable base data-type for this Dynamic data-type
