Method Details

setNameAndNamespace

public void setNameAndNamespace(String newName,
 Namespace newNamespace,
 SourceType source)
                         throws DuplicateNameException,
InvalidInputException,
CircularDependencyException

Description copied from interface: Symbol

Sets the symbols name and namespace. This is provided to allow the caller to avoid a name conflict by creating an autonomous action.

Specified by:

setNameAndNamespace in interface Symbol

Overrides:

setNameAndNamespace in class SymbolDB

Parameters:

newName - new symbol name

newNamespace - new parent namespace

source - the source of this symbol
Some symbol types, such as function symbols, can set the source to Symbol.DEFAULT.

Throws:

DuplicateNameException - if newNamespace already contains a symbol with this symbol's name

InvalidInputException - is newNamespace is not a valid parent for this symbol

CircularDependencyException - if this symbol is an ancestor of newNamespace

delete NEW

public boolean delete()

Description copied from interface: Symbol

Delete the symbol and its associated resources. Any references symbol associations will be discarded.

Specified by:

delete in interface Symbol

Overrides:

delete in class SymbolDB

Returns:

true if successful

getSymbolType

public SymbolType getSymbolType()

Description copied from interface: Symbol

Returns this symbol's type

Specified by:

getSymbolType in interface Symbol

Returns:

symbol type

isExternal

public boolean isExternal()

Description copied from interface: Symbol

Returns true if this an external symbol.

Specified by:

isExternal in interface Symbol

Returns:

true if this an external symbol.

• Address.isExternalAddress()

getObject

public Library getObject()

Specified by:

getObject in interface Symbol

Returns:

object associated with this symbol or null if symbol has been deleted

isPrimary

public boolean isPrimary()

Specified by:

isPrimary in interface Symbol

Specified by:

isPrimary in class SymbolDB

Returns:

true if this symbol is primary

isValidParent

public boolean isValidParent(Namespace parent)

Description copied from interface: Symbol

Determines if the given parent is valid for this Symbol. Specified namespace must belong to the same symbol table as this symbol.

Specified by:

isValidParent in interface Symbol

Overrides:

isValidParent in class SymbolDB

Parameters:

parent - prospective parent namespace for this symbol

Returns:

true if parent is valid

getOrdinal NEW

public int getOrdinal()

Returns Library's ordinal placement within ordered library list..

Returns:

Library's ordinal placement within ordered library list.

setOrdinal NEW

public void setOrdinal(int ordinal)

Set the Library ordinal. Other Library ordinals will be adjusted if displaced by ordinal change. No change is made if this Library symbol corresponds to Library.UNKNOWN Library.

Parameters:

ordinal - positive greater or equal to 0.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if a negative ordinal is specified

getExternalLibraryPath

public String getExternalLibraryPath()

Returns the library program path within the project (may be null).

Returns:

the library program path within the project (may be null)

setExternalLibraryPath MODIFIED

public void setExternalLibraryPath(String libraryPath)
                            throws InvalidInputException

added throws InvalidInputException

-void setExternalLibraryPath(java.lang.String libraryPath)

+void setExternalLibraryPath(java.lang.String libraryPath) throws InvalidInputException

Set the library program path within the project. The Library.UNKNOWN Library path may only be cleared.

Parameters:

libraryPath - library program path or null to clear

Throws:

InvalidInputException - if an invalid project file path is specified

validateExternalPath NEW

public static void validateExternalPath(String path)
                                 throws InvalidInputException

Perform path validation for an external library path within the project

Parameters:

path - external library path within the project (null is allowed for clearing path)

Throws:

InvalidInputException - if path is invalid

compareTo NEW

public int compareTo(LibrarySymbol o)

Specified by:

compareTo in interface Comparable<LibrarySymbol>
