Method Details

isValidParent

public abstract boolean isValidParent(Program program,
 Namespace parent,
 Address symbolAddr,
 boolean isExternalSymbol)

Returns true if the given namespace is a valid parent for a symbol of this type if it has the given address and whether or not it is external.

Parameters:

program - the program to contain the symbol

parent - the namespace where a symbol will potentially be parented.

symbolAddr - the address of they symbol to be parented.

isExternalSymbol - true if the symbol is external.

Returns:

true if the given namespace is a valid parent for a symbol if it has the given address and whether or not it is external.

isValidAddress

public abstract boolean isValidAddress(Program program,
 Address symbolAddress)

Returns true if the given address is valid for this symbol type.

Parameters:

program - the program to test for a valid address.

symbolAddress - the address of the symbol to be tested.

Returns:

true if the given address is valid within the given program.

isValidSourceType

public abstract boolean isValidSourceType(SourceType sourceType,
 Address symbolAddress)

Returns true if the given SourceType is valid for this symbol type. (For example, Some symbols don't support the SymbolType.DEFAULT)
