This represents a switch statement, which can appear inside a class body and represents two or more alternative unpacking schemes based on the first field read.

Inheritance diagram

getCase(n: int) → DCPackerInterface¶

Returns the DCPackerInterface that packs the nth case.

Return type: DCPackerInterface

getCaseByValue(case_value: bytes) → int¶: Returns the index number of the case with the indicated packed value, or -1 if no case has this value.

getDefaultCase() → DCPackerInterface¶

Returns the DCPackerInterface that packs the default case, or NULL if there is no default case.

Return type: DCPackerInterface

getField(case_index: int, n: int) → DCField¶

Returns the nth field in the indicated case.

Return type: DCField

getFieldByName(case_index: int, name: str) → DCField¶

Returns the field with the given name from the indicated case, or NULL if no field has this name.

Return type: DCField

getKeyParameter() → DCField¶

Returns the key parameter on which the switch is based. The value of this parameter in the record determines which one of the several cases within the switch will be used.

Return type: DCField

getName() → str¶: Returns the name of this switch.

getNumCases() → int¶: Returns the number of different cases within the switch. The legal values for case_index range from 0 to getNumCases() - 1.

getNumFields(case_index: int) → int¶: Returns the number of fields in the indicated case.

getValue(case_index: int) → bytes¶: Returns the packed value associated with the indicated case.
