Method Details

getDataType

DataType getDataType()

Returns the "pointed to" dataType

Returns:

referenced datatype (may be null)

newPointer

Pointer newPointer(DataType dataType)

Creates a pointer to the indicated data type.

Parameters:

dataType - the data type to point to.

Returns:

the newly created pointer.

typedefBuilder

default PointerTypedefBuilder typedefBuilder()

Construct a pointer-typedef builder base on this pointer.
Other construction options are provided when directly instantiating a PointerTypedefBuilder. In addition the utility class PointerTypedefInspector can be used to easily determine pointer-typedef settings.

Returns:

pointer-typedef builder

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if an invalid name is specified or pointer does not have a datatype manager.
