Enum Constant Details

VOID

public static final PrimitiveKind VOID

Void.

Either used to represent the return type of functions not returning anything, or for pointer types pointing to an unknown/opaque data structure.

BOOL

public static final PrimitiveKind BOOL

Boolean.

CHAR

public static final PrimitiveKind CHAR

Character.

A character is a UTF-16 code unit, i.e., it is 2 bytes long.

SBYTE

public static final PrimitiveKind SBYTE

Signed byte.

BYTE

public static final PrimitiveKind BYTE

Unsigned byte.

INT16

public static final PrimitiveKind INT16

Signed 16-bit integer.

UINT16

public static final PrimitiveKind UINT16

Unsigned 16-bit integer.

INT32

public static final PrimitiveKind INT32

Signed 32-bit integer.

UINT32

public static final PrimitiveKind UINT32

Unsigned 32-bit integer.

INT64

public static final PrimitiveKind INT64

Signed 64-bit integer.

UINT64

public static final PrimitiveKind UINT64

Unsigned 64-bit integer.

SINGLE

public static final PrimitiveKind SINGLE

Single-precision floating-point number (4 bytes long).

DOUBLE

public static final PrimitiveKind DOUBLE

Double-precision floating-point number (8 bytes long).

STRING

public static final PrimitiveKind STRING

String.

Usually, the string is encoded in UTF-16. Some string constants are indicated to be ANSI-encoded, i.e., it uses a byte-wise encoding.

INT_PTR

public static final PrimitiveKind INT_PTR

A signed integer sufficiently large to hold a pointer.

UINT_PTR

public static final PrimitiveKind UINT_PTR

An unsigned integer sufficiently large to hold a pointer.

Method Details

values

public static PrimitiveKind[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared.

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static PrimitiveKind valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this class with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this class. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum class has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null

typeName

public String typeName()

Gets the name of the primitive.

Returns:

the name
