    • load

      protected abstract void load(ByteProvider provider, LoadSpec loadSpec, List<Option> options, Program program, TaskMonitor monitor, MessageLog log) throws CancelledException, IOException
      Loads bytes in a particular format into the given Program.
      Parameters:
      provider - The bytes to load.
      loadSpec - The LoadSpec to use during load.
      options - The load options.
      program - The Program to load into.
      monitor - A cancelable task monitor.
      log - The message log.
      Throws:
      IOException - if there was an IO-related problem loading.
      CancelledException - if the user cancelled the load.

    • loadProgram

      protected List<Loaded<Program>> loadProgram(ByteProvider provider, String loadedName, Project project, String projectFolderPath, LoadSpec loadSpec, List<Option> options, MessageLog log, Object consumer, TaskMonitor monitor) throws CancelledException, IOException
      Description copied from class: AbstractProgramLoader
      Loads bytes in a particular format as a new Loaded Program. Multiple Programs may end up getting created, depending on the nature of the format.

      Note that when the load completes, the returned Loaded Programs are not saved to a project. That is the responsibility of the caller (see Loaded.save(Project, MessageLog, TaskMonitor)).

      It is also the responsibility of the caller to release the returned Loaded Programs with Loaded.release(Object) when they are no longer needed.

      Specified by:
      loadProgram in class AbstractProgramLoader
      Parameters:
      provider - The bytes to load.
      loadedName - A suggested name for the primary Loaded Program. This is just a suggestion, and a Loader implementation reserves the right to change it. The Loaded Programs should be queried for their true names using Loaded.getName().
      project - The Project. Loaders can use this to take advantage of existing DomainFolders and DomainFiles to do custom behaviors such as loading libraries. Could be null if there is no project.
      projectFolderPath - A suggested project folder path for the Loaded Programs. This is just a suggestion, and a Loader implementation reserves the right to change it for each Loaded result. The Loaded Programs should be queried for their true project folder paths using Loaded.getProjectFolderPath().
      loadSpec - The LoadSpec to use during load.
      options - The load options.
      log - The message log.
      consumer - A consumer object for generated Programs.
      monitor - A task monitor.
      Returns:
      A List of one or more Loaded Programs (created but not saved).
      Throws:
      CancelledException - if the user cancelled the load.
      LoadException - if the load failed in an expected way.
      IOException - if there was an IO-related problem loading.

    • loadProgramInto

      protected void loadProgramInto(ByteProvider provider, LoadSpec loadSpec, List<Option> options, MessageLog log, Program program, TaskMonitor monitor) throws CancelledException, LoadException, IOException
      Description copied from class: AbstractProgramLoader
      Loads program bytes into the specified Program. This method will not create any new Programs. It is only for adding to an existing Program.

      NOTE: The loading that occurs in this method will automatically be done in a transaction.

      loadProgramInto in class AbstractProgramLoader
      Parameters:
      provider - The bytes to load into the Program.
      loadSpec - The LoadSpec to use during load.

      program - The Program to load into.
      monitor - A cancelable task monitor.
      Throws:
      CancelledException - if the user cancelled the load.
      LoadException - if the load failed in an expected way.
      IOException - if there was an IO-related problem loading.
