Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
public AddressField	getAddressField(String fieldName)
public CIntegerField	getCIntegerField(String fieldName)
public Field	getField(String fieldName, boolean searchSuperclassFields, boolean throwExceptionIfNotFound) This is permissive and returns the CField regardless of its type as long as it is present.
public Field	getField(String fieldName, boolean searchSuperclassFields) This is permissive and returns the CField regardless of its type as long as it is present -- it is equivalent to getField(fieldName, searchSuperclassFields, true).
public Field	getField(String fieldName) This is permissive and returns the CField regardless of its type as long as it is present.
public Field	getField(String fieldName, Type declaredType, boolean searchSuperclassFields) If there is a mismatch between the declared type and the type which would otherwise be returned from this routine, it throws a WrongTypeException.
public Field	getField(String fieldName, Type declaredType) If there is a mismatch between the declared type and the type which would otherwise be returned from this routine, it throws a WrongTypeException.
public Iterator<E>	getFields() Iterate over all of the fields in this type but not in any of its superclasses.

public OopField	getOopField(String fieldName)
public long	getSize() The size in bytes, at the machine level, of this type.
public Type	getSuperclass()
public boolean	isCIntegerType() Indicates whether this type is a C integer type -- regardless of size or signedness.
public boolean	isCStringType() Indicates whether this type is const char*.
public boolean	isJavaPrimitiveType() Indicates whether this type is one of the Java primitive types.
public boolean	isOopType() Indicates whether this type is an oop type in the VM.
public boolean	isPointerType() Indicates whether this type is a pointer type.

getAddressField	back to summary
public AddressField getAddressField(String fieldName)

getCIntegerField	back to summary
public CIntegerField getCIntegerField(String fieldName) throws WrongTypeException

getField	back to summary
public Field getField(String fieldName, boolean searchSuperclassFields, boolean throwExceptionIfNotFound) This is permissive and returns the CField regardless of its type as long as it is present. Returns null if the field was not found, unless throwExceptionIfNotFound is true, in which case a RuntimeException is thrown (for debugging purposes).

getField	back to summary
public Field getField(String fieldName, boolean searchSuperclassFields) This is permissive and returns the CField regardless of its type as long as it is present -- it is equivalent to getField(fieldName, searchSuperclassFields, true). Throws a RuntimeException if the field was not found.

getField	back to summary
public Field getField(String fieldName) This is permissive and returns the CField regardless of its type as long as it is present. This does not search superclasses' fields; it is equivalent to getField(fieldName, false). Throws a RuntimeException if the field was not found.

getField	back to summary
public Field getField(String fieldName, Type declaredType, boolean searchSuperclassFields) throws WrongTypeException If there is a mismatch between the declared type and the type which would otherwise be returned from this routine, it throws a WrongTypeException. declaredType must not be null. Throws a RuntimeException if field was otherwise not found.

getField	back to summary
public Field getField(String fieldName, Type declaredType) throws WrongTypeException If there is a mismatch between the declared type and the type which would otherwise be returned from this routine, it throws a WrongTypeException. declaredType must not be null. This does not search superclasses' fields; it is equivalent to getField(fieldName, declaredType, false). Throws a RuntimeException if field was otherwise not found.

getField

back to summary

public Field getField(String fieldName, Type declaredType) throws WrongTypeException

If there is a mismatch between the declared type and the type which would otherwise be returned from this routine, it throws a WrongTypeException. declaredType must not be null. This does not search superclasses' fields; it is equivalent to getField(fieldName, declaredType, false). Throws a RuntimeException if field was otherwise not found.

getFields	back to summary
public Iterator<E> getFields() Iterate over all of the fields in this type but not in any of its superclasses. The returned Iterator's "remove" method must not be called.

getJBooleanField	back to summary
public JBooleanField getJBooleanField(String fieldName) throws WrongTypeException These accessors are designed to allow strong type checking of certain well-known types of fields, specifically Java primitive and oop types. Specialized fields for all primitive types, as well as oop fields, are required to have strong type checking and a WrongTypeException should be thrown if the given field is not precisely of the given type. Address and Oop fields are more permissive to reduce the complexity of the initial implementation. These accessors do not search the superclass's fields.

getOopField	back to summary
public OopField getOopField(String fieldName) throws WrongTypeException

getSize	back to summary
public long getSize() The size in bytes, at the machine level, of this type. This should be equivalent to the sizeof operator -- i.e., should include any compiler-inserted fields like the vtbl for C++ types.

getSuperclass	back to summary
public Type getSuperclass()

isCIntegerType	back to summary
public boolean isCIntegerType() Indicates whether this type is a C integer type -- regardless of size or signedness.
