Interface Program

All Superinterfaces:
DataTypeManagerDomainObject, DataTypeManagerOwner, DomainObject, ProgramArchitecture
All Known Implementing Classes:
ProgramDB
public interface Program extends DataTypeManagerDomainObject, ProgramArchitecture
This interface represents the main entry point into an object which stores all information relating to a single program. This program model divides a program into four major parts: the memory, the symbol table, the equate table, and the listing. Each of these parts has an extensive interface and can be retrieved via this program interface. Although the components are divided into separate objects, they are not independent. Any changes to one component may and probably will affect the other components. Also, the state of one component will restrict the actions of another component. For example, the createCodeUnit() method of listing will fail if memory is undefined at the address where the codeUnit is to be created.
