Class UnsignedInteger6DataType

All Implemented Interfaces:
ArrayStringable, BuiltInDataType, DataType, ExtensionPoint

public class UnsignedInteger6DataType extends AbstractIntegerDataType
  • Field Details

    • dataType

      public static final UnsignedInteger6DataType dataType
      A statically defined UnsignedInteger6DataType instance.
  • Constructor Details

    • UnsignedInteger6DataType

      public UnsignedInteger6DataType()
    • UnsignedInteger6DataType

      public UnsignedInteger6DataType(DataTypeManager dtm)
  • Method Details

    • getDescription

      public String getDescription()
      Description copied from interface: DataType
      Get a String briefly describing this DataType.
      Returns:
      a one-liner describing this DataType.
    • getLength

      public int getLength()
      Description copied from interface: DataType
      Get the length (number of 8-bit bytes) of this DataType.

      NOTE: No datatype should ever return 0, even if DataType.isZeroLength(), and only Dynamic datatypes should return -1. If DataType.isZeroLength() is true a length of 1 should be returned. Where a zero-length datatype can be handled (e.g., Composite) the DataType.isZeroLength() method should be used.

      Returns:
      the length of this DataType
    • getOppositeSignednessDataType

      public Integer6DataType getOppositeSignednessDataType()
      Specified by:
      getOppositeSignednessDataType in class AbstractIntegerDataType
      Returns:
      the data-type with the opposite signedness from this data-type. For example, this method on IntegerDataType will return an instance of UnsignedIntegerDataType.
    • 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 shuold be made directly to this instance if supported or to a DataType.copy(DataTypeManager).

      Parameters:
      dtm - the data-type manager instance whose data-organization should apply.
      Returns:
      cloned instance which may be the same as this instance
