Method Detail

• getInstances

  List<DataType<?>> getInstances()

  Returns a list of all DataTypes known to system. List is in order sorted by DataType's internal name.

  Specified by:

  getInstances in interface SingletonService<DataType<?>>

• getTypeByName

  DataType<?> getTypeByName(String typeName)

  Returns the DataType whose internal name matches the given typeName. Returns null if not found.

• getTypeByClass

  DataType<?> getTypeByClass(Class<?> typeClass)

  Returns the DataType whose internal type class matches the given typeClass. Returns null if not found.

• getTypeByAttributes

  DataType<?> getTypeByAttributes(int bitCount,
                                  boolean bounded,
                                  boolean complex,
                                  boolean floating,
                                  boolean signed)

  Returns the DataType whose internal type class matches the given specifications exactly. If a type is unbounded it is expected that bitCount will be specified as -1.

• cast

  <U extends NumericType<U>,V extends NumericType<V>> void cast(DataType<U> inputType,
                                                                U input,
                                                                DataType<V> outputType,
                                                                V output)

  Fills an output with a cast from an input given information about their DataTypes. This version of cast() can throw IllegalArgumentException if it can't find a safe cast. Use the alternate version of cast() that takes a temporary working variable for fully safe casting.

  Parameters:

  inputType - The DataType of the input.

  input - The input variable to cast from.

  outputType - The DataType of the output

  output - The output variable to cast into.

• cast

  <U extends NumericType<U>,V extends NumericType<V>> void cast(DataType<U> inputType,
                                                                U input,
                                                                DataType<V> outputType,
                                                                V output,
                                                                BigComplex tmp)

  Fills an output with a cast from an input given information about their DataTypes. This version always succeeds. It requires a temporary working variable of type BigComplex to be passed in.

  Parameters:

  inputType - The DataType of the input.

  input - The input variable to cast from.

  outputType - The DataType of the output

  output - The output variable to cast into.

  tmp - The working variable the method may use internally.
