clone
Description copied from interface:DataType
Returns an instance of this DataType using the specifiedDataTypeManager
to allow its use of the correspondingDataOrganization
while retaining its unique identity (seeDataType.getUniversalID()
and archive association (seeDataType.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.- Parameters:
dtm
- the data-type manager instance whose data-organization should apply.- Returns:
- cloned instance which may be the same as this instance
-
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 itsaligned-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 ifDataType.isZeroLength()
, and onlyDynamic
/FactoryDataType
datatypes should return -1. IfDataType.isZeroLength()
is true a length of 1 should be returned. Where a zero-length datatype can be handled (e.g.,Composite
) theDataType.isZeroLength()
method should be used.- 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 aComposite
. ForPointer
,Composite
andArray
types this will return the same value asDataType.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 itsaligned-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 ifDataType.isZeroLength()
, and onlyDynamic
/FactoryDataType
/FunctionDefinition
datatypes should return -1. IfDataType.isZeroLength()
is true a length of 1 should be returned.- Returns:
- byte length of binary encoding.
-
getDescription
Description copied from interface:DataType
Get a String briefly describing this DataType.- Returns:
- a one-liner describing this DataType.
-
getValue
Description copied from interface:DataType
Returns the interpreted data value as an instance of theadvertised value class
.For instance,
Pointer
data types should return an Address object (or null), or integer data types should return aScalar
object.- Parameters:
buf
- the data buffersettings
- the settings to use.length
- indicates the maximum number of bytes that may be consumed by aDynamic
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
Description copied from interface:DataType
Get bytes from memory in a printable format for this type.- 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.
-
getSettingsDefinitions
Description copied from interface:DataType
Get the list of settings definitions available for use with this datatype.In the case of a
TypeDef
, the return list will include theTypeDefSettingsDefinition
list from the associated base data type.Unlike
TypeDefSettingsDefinition
standard settings definitions generally support default, component-default and data-instance use. In addition, standard settings definitions are never considered duringDataType.isEquivalent(DataType)
checking or during the resolve process.- Returns:
- list of the settings definitions for this datatype.
-
getDefaultSettings
Description copied from interface:DataType
Gets the settings for this data type. The settings may have underlying default settings and may in turn become defaults for instance-specific settings (e.g., Data or DataTypeComponent). It is important to note that these settings are tied to a specific DataType instantiation so it is important to understand the scope of its use. Example: TheBuiltInDataTypeManager
has its own set of DataType instances which are separate from those which have been instantiated or resolved to a specific Program/ArchiveDataTypeManager
. Settings manipulation may be disabled by default in some instances.- Returns:
- the settings for this dataType.
-
copy
Description copied from interface:DataType
Returns a new instance (shallow copy) of this DataType with a new identity and no source archive association.Any reference to other datatypes will use
DataType.clone(DataTypeManager)
.- Parameters:
dtm
- the data-type manager instance whose data-organization should apply.- Returns:
- new instanceof of this datatype
-
getValueClass
Description copied from interface:DataType
Get the Class of the value Object to be returned by this datatype (seeDataType.getValue(MemBuffer, Settings, int)
).- 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.
-
isEquivalent
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.- Parameters:
dt
- the datatype being tested for equivalence.- Returns:
- true if the if the given datatype is equivalent to this datatype.
-
getAlignment
public int getAlignment()Description copied from interface:DataType
Gets the alignment to be used when aligning this datatype within another datatype.- Returns:
- this datatype's alignment.
-
getStrippedDataType
Get a data-type that can be used as a formal replacement for this (internal) data-type- Returns:
- a replacement data-type
-
