Constructor Detail

DataTypeParser

public DataTypeParser(DataTypeQueryService dataTypeManagerService,
                      DataTypeParser.AllowedDataTypes allowedTypes)

A constructor that does not use the source or destination data type managers. In terms of the source data type manager, this means that all data type managers will be used when resolving data types.

Parameters:

dataTypeManagerService -

allowedTypes -

DataTypeParser

public DataTypeParser(DataTypeManager sourceDataTypeManager,
                      DataTypeManager destinationDataTypeManager,
                      DataTypeQueryService dataTypeManagerService,
                      DataTypeParser.AllowedDataTypes allowedTypes)

Constructor

Parameters:

sourceDataTypeManager - preferred source data-type manager, or null

destinationDataTypeManager - target data-type manager, or null

dataTypeManagerService - data-type manager tool service, or null

allowedTypes - constrains which data-types may be parsed

Method Detail

parse

public DataType parse(java.lang.String dataTypeString)
               throws InvalidDataTypeException,
                      CancelledException

Parse a data-type string specification

Parameters:

dataTypeString - a known data-type name followed by zero or more pointer/array decorations.

Returns:

parsed data-type or null if not found

Throws:

InvalidDataTypeException - if data-type string is invalid or length exceeds specified maxSize

CancelledException - parse cancelled through user interaction

parse

public DataType parse(java.lang.String dataTypeString,
                      CategoryPath category)
               throws InvalidDataTypeException,
                      CancelledException

Parse a data-type string specification with category path. If category is not null, the dataTypeManagerService will not be queried.

Parameters:

dataTypeString - a known data-type name followed by zero or more pointer/array decorations.

category - known path of data-type or null if unknown

Returns:

parsed data-type or null if not found

Throws:

InvalidDataTypeException - if data-type string is invalid or length exceeds specified maxSize

CancelledException - parse cancelled through user interaction (only if parser contructed with service)

parse

public DataType parse(java.lang.String dataTypeString,
                      DataType suggestedBaseDataType)
               throws InvalidDataTypeException,
                      CancelledException

Parse a data-type string specification using the specified baseDatatype.

Parameters:

suggestedBaseDataType - base data-type (may be null), this will be used as the base data-type if its name matches the base name in the specified dataTypeString.

dataTypeString - a base data-type followed by a sequence of zero or more pointer/array decorations to be applied. The string may start with the baseDataType's name.

Returns:

parsed data-type or null if not found

Throws:

InvalidDataTypeException - if data-type string is invalid or length exceeds specified maxSize

CancelledException - parse cancelled through user interaction (only if parser contructed with service)

ensureIsAllowableType

public static void ensureIsAllowableType(DataType dt,
                                         DataTypeParser.AllowedDataTypes allowedTypes)
                                  throws InvalidDataTypeException

Throws exception if the data type does not match the specified DataTypeParser.AllowedDataTypes.

Parameters:

dt - DataType to check

allowedTypes - enum specifying what category of data types are ok

Throws:

InvalidDataTypeException - if dt violates the specified allowedTypes
