Constructor Details

VariableLocation

public VariableLocation()

Default constructor needed for restoring a variable location from XML.

VariableLocation

public VariableLocation(Program program,
 Address locationAddr,
 Variable var,
 int index,
 int charOffset)

Create a new VariableLocation.

Parameters:

program - the program of the location

locationAddr - the address of the listing location (i.e., referent code unit)

var - the variable associated with this location.

index - the index of the sub-piece on that variable (only the xrefs have subpieces

charOffset - the character position on the piece.

VariableLocation

public VariableLocation(Program program,
 Variable var,
 int index,
 int charOffset)

Create a new VariableLocation.

Parameters:

program - the program of the location

var - the variable associated with this location.

index - the index of the sub-piece on that variable (only the xrefs have subpieces

charOffset - the character position on the piece.

Method Details

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class FunctionLocation

getVariable

public Variable getVariable()

Get the variable associated with this variable location

Returns:

associated function variable

isLocationFor

public boolean isLocationFor(Variable var)

Checks to see if this location is for the indicated variable.

Parameters:

var - the variable

Returns:

true if this location is for the specified variable.

isParameter

restoreState

public void restoreState(Program p,
 SaveState obj)

Description copied from class: FunctionLocation

Restore this function location using the given program and save state object.

Overrides:

restoreState in class FunctionLocation

Parameters:

p - the program containing the function location

obj - the save state object for saving the location

saveState

isValid

public boolean isValid(Program p)

Description copied from class: ProgramLocation

Returns true if this location represents a valid location in the given program.

Overrides:

isValid in class FunctionLocation

Parameters:

p - the program to test if this location is valid.

Returns:

true if this location represents a valid location in the given program.
