DCField

class DCField

Bases: DCPackerInterface, DCKeywordList

A single field of a Distributed Class, either atomic or molecular.

Datagram ai_format_update(DOID_TYPE do_id, CHANNEL_TYPE to_id, CHANNEL_TYPE from_id, PyObject *args) const

Datagram ai_format_update_msg_type(DOID_TYPE do_id, CHANNEL_TYPE to_id, CHANNEL_TYPE from_id, int msg_type, PyObject *args) const

virtual DCAtomicField *as_atomic_field(void)

virtual DCAtomicField const *as_atomic_field(void) const: Returns the same field pointer converted to an atomic field pointer, if this is in fact an atomic field; otherwise, returns NULL.

virtual DCField *as_field(void)

virtual DCField const *as_field(void) const

virtual DCMolecularField *as_molecular_field(void)

virtual DCMolecularField const *as_molecular_field(void) const: Returns the same field pointer converted to a molecular field pointer, if this is in fact a molecular field; otherwise, returns NULL.

virtual DCParameter *as_parameter(void)

virtual DCParameter const *as_parameter(void) const

Datagram client_format_update(DOID_TYPE do_id, PyObject *args) const

std::string format_data(vector_uchar const &packed_data, bool show_field_names = true): Given a blob that represents the packed data for this field, returns a string formatting it for human consumption. Returns empty string if there is an error.

DCClass *get_class(void) const: Returns the DCClass pointer for the class that contains this field.

vector_uchar const &get_default_value(void) const: Returns the default value for this field. If a default value has been explicitly set (e.g. has_default_value() returns true), returns that value; otherwise, returns an implicit default for the field.

int get_number(void) const: Returns a unique index number associated with this field. This is defined implicitly when the .dc file(s) are read.

bool has_default_value(void) const: Returns true if a default value has been explicitly established for this field, false otherwise.

bool is_airecv(void) const: Returns true if the “airecv” flag is set for this field, false otherwise.

bool is_bogus_field(void) const: Returns true if the field has been flagged as a bogus field. This is set for fields that are generated by the parser as placeholder for missing fields, as when reading a partial file; it should not occur in a normal valid dc file.

bool is_broadcast(void) const: Returns true if the “broadcast” flag is set for this field, false otherwise.

bool is_clrecv(void) const: Returns true if the “clrecv” flag is set for this field, false otherwise.

bool is_clsend(void) const: Returns true if the “clsend” flag is set for this field, false otherwise.

bool is_db(void) const: Returns true if the “db” flag is set for this field, false otherwise.

bool is_ownrecv(void) const: Returns true if the “ownrecv” flag is set for this field, false otherwise.

bool is_ownsend(void) const: Returns true if the “ownsend” flag is set for this field, false otherwise.

bool is_ram(void) const: Returns true if the “ram” flag is set for this field, false otherwise.

bool is_required(void) const: Returns true if the “required” flag is set for this field, false otherwise.

void output(std::ostream &out) const: Write a string representation of this instance to <out>.

bool pack_args(DCPacker &packer, PyObject *sequence) const

vector_uchar parse_string(std::string const &formatted_string): Given a human-formatted string (for instance, as returned by format_data(), above) that represents the value of this field, parse the string and return the corresponding packed data. Returns empty string if there is an error.

void receive_update(DCPacker &packer, PyObject *distobj) const

PyObject *unpack_args(DCPacker &packer) const

bool validate_ranges(vector_uchar const &packed_data) const: Verifies that all of the packed values in the field data are within the specified ranges and that there are no extra bytes on the end of the record. Returns true if all fields are valid, false otherwise.

void write(std::ostream &out, int indent_level) const: Write a string representation of this instance to <out>.
