Interface AddressRange

  • All Superinterfaces:
    java.lang.Comparable<AddressRange>
    All Known Implementing Classes:
    AddressRangeImpl

    public interface AddressRange
    extends java.lang.Comparable<AddressRange>
    The AddressRange interface is used by any object that represents a contiguous inclusive range of addresses from a minimum address to a maximum address. The entire range must fall within a single address space.

      • intersect

        AddressRange intersect​(AddressRange range)
        Computes the intersection of this range with another.
        Parameters:
        range - the range to intersect this range with
        Returns:
        AddressRange the intersection or null if the ranges do not intersect.
      • intersectRange

        AddressRange intersectRange​(Address start,
                                    Address end)
        Computes the intersection of this range with another.
        Parameters:
        start - of range
        end - end of range
        Returns:
        AddressRange the intersection or null if the ranges do not intersect.
      • intersects

        boolean intersects​(AddressRange range)
        Returns true if the given range intersects this range.
        Parameters:
        range - the range to test for intersection with.
      • intersects

        boolean intersects​(Address start,
                           Address end)
        Returns true if the given range intersects this range.
        Parameters:
        start - the first address in the range to test for intersection.
        end - the last address in the range to test for intersection.

        addr - the address to compare.
        Returns:
        a negative integer if the address is greater than the maximum range address, zero if the address is in the range, and a positive integer if the address is less than minimum range address.
