pointerDataType - associated pointer datatype (required)

dtm - data-type manager whose data organization should be used

Method Details

enableAutoNaming

public void enableAutoNaming()

Description copied from interface: TypeDef

Enable auto-naming for this typedef. This will force naming to reflect the name of associated datatype plus an attribute list which corresponds to any TypeDefSettingsDefinition settings which may be set.

Specified by:

enableAutoNaming in interface TypeDef

isAutoNamed

public boolean isAutoNamed()

Description copied from interface: TypeDef

Determine if this datatype use auto-naming (e.g., see PointerTypedef). If true, any change to associated TypeDefSettingsDefinition settings or naming of the pointer-referenced datatype will cause a automatic renaming of this datatype.

Specified by:

isAutoNamed in interface TypeDef

Returns:

true if auto-named, else false.

getReferencedDataType

protected DataType getReferencedDataType()

Get the referenced datatype used to construct this datatype (datatype which pointer references).

Returns:

referenced datatype

getUniversalID

public UniversalID getUniversalID()

Description copied from interface: DataType

Get the universal ID for this datatype.

This value is intended to be a unique identifier across all programs and archives. The same ID indicates that two datatypes were originally the same one. Keep in mind names, categories, and component makeup may differ and have changed since there origin.

Specified by:

getUniversalID in interface DataType

Overrides:

getUniversalID in class BuiltIn

Returns:

datatype UniversalID

hasGeneratedNamed

protected boolean hasGeneratedNamed()

isEquivalent

public boolean isEquivalent(DataType obj)

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 interface DataType

Overrides:

isEquivalent in class BuiltIn

Parameters:

obj - the datatype being tested for equivalence.

Returns:

true if the if the given datatype is equivalent to this datatype.

getName

public String getName()

Description copied from interface: DataType

Get the name of this datatype.

Specified by:

getName in interface DataType

Overrides:

getName in class AbstractDataType

Returns:

the name

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

getLength

public int getLength()

Description copied from interface: DataType

Get the length of this DataType as a number of 8-bit bytes.

For primitive datatypes this reflects the smallest varnode which can be used to contain its value (i.e., raw data length).

Example: For x86 32-bit gcc an 80-bit long double raw data length of 10-bytes will fit within a floating point register while its aligned-length of 12-bytes is used by the gcc compiler for data/array/component allocations to maintain alignment (i.e., sizeof(long double) ).

NOTE: Other than the VoidDataType, no datatype should ever return 0, even if DataType.isZeroLength(), and only Dynamic/FactoryDataType 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

getAlignedLength

public int getAlignedLength()

Description copied from interface: DataType

Get the aligned-length of this datatype as a number of 8-bit bytes.

For primitive datatypes this is equivalent to the C/C++ "sizeof" operation within source code and should be used when determining Array element length or component sizing for a Composite. For Pointer, Composite and Array types this will return the same value as DataType.getLength().

Example: For x86 32-bit gcc an 80-bit long double raw data length of 10-bytes will fit within a floating point register while its aligned-length of 12-bytes is used by the gcc compiler for data/array/component allocations to maintain alignment (i.e., sizeof(long double) ).

NOTE: Other than the VoidDataType, no datatype should ever return 0, even if DataType.isZeroLength(), and only Dynamic / FactoryDataType / FunctionDefinition datatypes should return -1. If DataType.isZeroLength() is true a length of 1 should be returned.

Specified by:

getAlignedLength in interface DataType

Overrides:

getAlignedLength in class DataTypeImpl

Returns:

byte length of binary encoding.

getDataType

public DataType getDataType()

Description copied from interface: TypeDef

Returns the dataType that this typedef is based on. This could be another typedef

Specified by:

getDataType in interface TypeDef

Returns:

the datatype which this typedef is based on (may be another TypeDef).

getBaseDataType

public DataType getBaseDataType()

Description copied from interface: TypeDef

Returns the non-typedef dataType that this typedef is based on, following chains of typedefs as necessary.

Specified by:

getBaseDataType in interface TypeDef

Returns:

the datatype which this typedef is based on (will not be another TypeDef).

getBuiltInSettingsDefinitions

public 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.

dependsOn

public boolean dependsOn(DataType dt)

Description copied from interface: DataType

Check if this datatype depends on the existence of the given datatype.

For example byte[] depends on byte. If byte were deleted, then byte[] would also be deleted.

Specified by:

dependsOn in interface DataType

Overrides:

dependsOn in class BuiltIn

Parameters:

dt - the datatype to test that this datatype depends on.

Returns:

true if the existence of this datatype relies on the existence of the specified datatype dt.

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class AbstractDataType

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.

getValue

public Object getValue(MemBuffer buf,
 Settings settings,
 int length)

Description copied from interface: DataType

Returns the interpreted data value as an instance of the advertised value class.

For instance, Pointer data types should return an Address object (or null), or integer data types should return a Scalar object.

Specified by:

getValue in interface DataType

Parameters:

buf - the data buffer

settings - the settings to use.

length - indicates the maximum number of bytes that may be consumed by a Dynamic datatype, otherwise this value is ignored. A value of -1 may be specified to allow a Dynamic datatype to determine the length based upon the actual data bytes

Returns:

the data object, or null if data is invalid

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.
