Method Detail

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.

Specified by:

getLength in interface DataType

Returns:

the length of this DataType

hasLanguageDependantLength

public boolean hasLanguageDependantLength()

Description copied from interface: DataType

Indicates if the length of this data-type is determined based upon the DataOrganization obtained from the associated DataTypeManager.

Specified by:

hasLanguageDependantLength in interface DataType

Overrides:

hasLanguageDependantLength in class AbstractDataType

Returns:

true length is language/compiler-specification dependent, else false

getDescription

public java.lang.String getDescription()

Description copied from interface: DataType

Get a String briefly describing this DataType.

Specified by:

getDescription in interface DataType

Returns:

a one-liner describing this DataType.

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.

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

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.

getRepresentation

                                          Settings settings,
                                          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,
                                 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 interface DataType

Parameters:

buf - the data buffer.

settings - the settings to use.

length - the number of bytes to get the value from.

Returns:

the data Object.

isEncodable

public boolean isEncodable()

Description copied from interface: DataType

Check if this type supports encoding (patching)

If unsupported, DataType.encodeValue(Object, MemBuffer, Settings, int) and DataType.encodeRepresentation(String, MemBuffer, Settings, int) will always throw an exception. Actions which rely on either encode method should not be displayed if the applicable datatype is not encodable.

Specified by:

isEncodable in interface DataType

Overrides:

isEncodable in class AbstractDataType

Returns:

true if encoding is supported

encodeValue

public byte[] encodeValue(java.lang.Object value,
                          MemBuffer buf,
                          Settings settings,
                          int length)
                   throws DataTypeEncodeException

Description copied from interface: DataType

Encode bytes from an Object appropriate for this DataType.

Converts the given object to the byte encoding and returns it. When appropriate, this should seek the nearest encoding to the specified value, since the object may come from a user script. For example, a floating-point value may be rounded. Invalid values should be rejected with a DataTypeEncodeException.

Specified by:

encodeValue in interface DataType

Overrides:

encodeValue in class AbstractDataType

Parameters:

value - the desired value.

buf - a buffer representing the eventual destination of the bytes.

settings - the settings to use.

length - the expected length of the result, usually the length of the data unit, or -1 to let the type choose the length. It may be ignored, e.g., for fixed-length types.

Returns:

the encoded value.

Throws:

DataTypeEncodeException - if the value cannot be encoded for any reason, e.g., incorrect type, not enough space, buffer overflow, unsupported (see DataType.isEncodable()).

encodeRepresentation

public byte[] encodeRepresentation(java.lang.String repr,
                                   MemBuffer buf,
                                   Settings settings,
                                   int length)
                            throws DataTypeEncodeException

Description copied from interface: DataType

Encode bytes according to the display format for this type.

Converts the given representation to the byte encoding and returns it. When appropriate, this should seek the nearest encoding to the specified value, since the representation is likely coming from user input. For example, a floating-point value may be rounded. Invalid representations should be rejected with a DataTypeEncodeException.

Specified by:

encodeRepresentation in interface DataType

Overrides:

encodeRepresentation in class AbstractDataType

Parameters:

repr - the representation of the desired value, as in DataType.getRepresentation(MemBuffer, Settings, int). The supported formats depend on the specific datatype and its settings.

buf - a buffer representing the eventual destination of the bytes.

settings - the settings to use for the representation.

length - the expected length of the result, usually the length of the data unit, or -1 to let the type choose the length. It may be ignored, e.g., for fixed-length types.

Returns:

the encoded value.

Throws:

DataTypeEncodeException - if the value cannot be encoded for any reason, e.g., incorrect format, not enough space, buffer overflow, unsupported (see DataType.isEncodable()).

getValueClass

public java.lang.Class<?> getValueClass(Settings settings)

Description copied from interface: DataType

Get the Class of the value to be returned by this datatype.

Specified by:

getValueClass in interface DataType

Overrides:

getValueClass in class DataTypeImpl

Parameters:

settings - the relevant settings to use or null for default.

Returns:

Class of the value to be returned by this datatype or null if it can vary or is unspecified. Types which correspond to a string or char array will return the String class.

public java.lang.String getCTypeDeclaration(DataOrganization dataOrganization)

Description copied from class: BuiltIn
