public class BadDataType
extends BuiltIn
implements Dynamic

Provides an implementation of a data type that is not valid (bad) as it is used in the program. For example, the class for the underlying data type may no longer be available or the data type may not fit where it has been placed in the program.

This field is not meant to be loaded by the ClassSearcher, hence the X in the name.

Method Detail

getMnemonic

public java.lang.String getMnemonic(Settings settings)

Description copied from interface: DataType

Get the mnemonic for this DataType.

Specified by:

getMnemonic in interface DataType

Overrides:

getMnemonic in class AbstractDataType

Returns:

the mnemonic for this DataType.

See Also:

DataType.getMnemonic(Settings)

getLength

public int getLength()

Description copied from interface: DataType

Get the length (number of 8-bit bytes) of this DataType.

Specified by:

getLength in interface DataType

Returns:

the length of this DataType

See Also:

DataType.getLength()

isDynamicallySized

public boolean isDynamicallySized()

Description copied from interface: DataType

Indicates if this data-type is dynamically sized based upon DataOrganization.

Specified by:

isDynamicallySized in interface DataType

Overrides:

isDynamicallySized in class AbstractDataType

See Also:

DataType.isDynamicallySized()

getDescription

public java.lang.String getDescription()

Description copied from interface: DataType

Get a String briefly describing this DataType.

Specified by:

getDescription in interface DataType

Returns:

a one-liner describing this DataType.

See Also:

DataType.getDescription()

getValue

public java.lang.Object getValue(MemBuffer buf,
                                 Settings settings,
                                 int length)

Description copied from interface: DataType

Get the data in the form of the appropriate Object for this DataType. For instance if the data type is an AddressDT, return an Address object. a Byte, return a Scalar* (maybe this should be a Byte) a Float, return a Float

Specified by:

getValue in interface DataType

Parameters:

buf - the data buffer.

settings - the settings to use.

length - the number of bytes to get the value from.

Returns:

the data Object.

See Also:

DataType.getValue(ghidra.program.model.mem.MemBuffer, ghidra.docking.settings.Settings, int)

isEquivalent

public boolean isEquivalent(DataType dt)

Description copied from interface: DataType

Returns true if the given dataType is equivalent to this dataType. The precise meaning of "equivalent" is dataType dependent.

Specified by:

isEquivalent in interface DataType

Overrides:

isEquivalent in class BuiltIn

Parameters:

dt - the dataType being tested for equivalence.

Returns:

true if the if the given dataType is equivalent to this dataType.

getRepresentation

public java.lang.String getRepresentation(MemBuffer buf,
                                          Settings settings,
                                          int length)

settings - the settings to use for the representation.

length - the number of bytes to represent.

Returns:

the representation of the data in this format, never null.

See Also:

DataType.getRepresentation(MemBuffer, Settings, int)

clone

public DataType clone(DataTypeManager dtm)

Description copied from interface: DataType

Returns a new instance of this DataType with its universalID and SourceArchive identity retained. Note: for built-in DataType's, clone and copy should have the same affect.
