Class AbstractIntegerDataType

All Implemented Interfaces:
ArrayStringable, BuiltInDataType, DataType, ExtensionPoint
Direct Known Subclasses:
AbstractSignedIntegerDataType, AbstractUnsignedIntegerDataType, CharDataType

public abstract class AbstractIntegerDataType extends BuiltIn implements ArrayStringable
Base type for integer data types such as chars, ints, and longs.

If FormatSettingsDefinition.getFormat(Settings) indicates that this is a CHAR type, the ArrayStringable methods will treat an array of this data type as a string.

      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(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()).
    • getValueClass

      public Class<?> getValueClass(Settings settings)
      Description copied from interface: DataType
      Get the Class of the value Object to be returned by this datatype (see DataType.getValue(MemBuffer, Settings, int)).
      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.
    • getRepresentation

      public 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 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.
    • encodeRepresentation

      public byte[] encodeRepresentation(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()).
