Class UnsignedCharDataType

All Implemented Interfaces:
ArrayStringable, BuiltInDataType, DataType, DataTypeWithCharset, ExtensionPoint

public class UnsignedCharDataType extends CharDataType
Provides a definition of a primitive unsigned char data type. While in most environment the size is one 8-bit byte, this can vary based upon data organization imposed by the associated data type manager.
  • Field Details

  • Constructor Details

    • UnsignedCharDataType

      public UnsignedCharDataType()
      Constructs a new unsigned char datatype.
    • UnsignedCharDataType

      public UnsignedCharDataType(DataTypeManager dtm)
  • Method Details

    • isSigned

      public boolean isSigned()
      Description copied from class: AbstractIntegerDataType
      Determine if this type is signed.
      Overrides:
      isSigned in class CharDataType
      Returns:
      true if this is a signed integer data-type
    • getDescription

      public String getDescription()
      Description copied from interface: DataType
      Get a String briefly describing this DataType.
      Specified by:
      getDescription in interface DataType
      Overrides:
      getDescription in class CharDataType
      Returns:
      a one-liner describing this DataType.
    • clone

      Description copied from interface: DataType
      Returns an instance of this DataType using the specified DataTypeManager to allow its use of the corresponding DataOrganization while retaining its unique identity (see DataType.getUniversalID() and archive association (see DataType.getSourceArchive()) if applicable.

      This instance 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.

      NOTE: In general, this method should not be used to obtain an instance to be modified. In most cases changes may be made directly to this instance if supported or to a DataType.copy(DataTypeManager) of this type.

      Specified by:
      clone in interface DataType
      Overrides:
      clone in class CharDataType
      Parameters:
      dtm - the data-type manager instance whose data-organization should apply.
      Returns:
      cloned instance which may be the same as this instance
    • getDefaultLabelPrefix

      public String getDefaultLabelPrefix()
      Description copied from interface: DataType
      Returns the appropriate string to use as the default label prefix in the absence of any data.
      Specified by:
      getDefaultLabelPrefix in interface DataType
      Overrides:
      getDefaultLabelPrefix in class CharDataType
      Returns:
      the default label prefix or null if none specified.
    • getCDeclaration

      public String getCDeclaration()
      Description copied from class: CharDataType
      Returns the C style data-type declaration for this data-type. Null is returned if no appropriate declaration exists.
      Overrides:
      getCDeclaration in class CharDataType
      Returns:
      the C style data-type declaration for this data-type. Null is returned if no appropriate declaration exists.
    • getCTypeDeclaration

      public String getCTypeDeclaration(DataOrganization dataOrganization)
      Description copied from class: BuiltIn
      Returns null for FactoryDataType (which should never be used) and Dynamic types which should generally be replaced by a primitive array (e.g., char[5]) or, a primitive pointer (e.g., char *). For other types an appropriately sized unsigned integer typedef is returned.
      Specified by:
      getCTypeDeclaration in interface BuiltInDataType
      Overrides:
      getCTypeDeclaration in class CharDataType
      Parameters:
      dataOrganization - or null for default
      Returns:
      definition C-statement (e.g., #define or typedef) or null if type name is a standard C-primitive name or if type is FactoryDataType or Dynamic.
