                                        java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException
        Description copied from interface: Structure
        Inserts a new bitfield at the specified ordinal position in this structure. Within packed structures the specified byteWidth and bitOffset will be ignored since packing will occur at the specified ordinal position. The resulting component length and bitfield details will reflect the use of minimal storage sizing.

        For structures with packing disabled, a component shift will only occur if the bitfield placement conflicts with another component. If no conflict occurs, the bitfield will be placed at the specified location consuming any DEFAULT components as needed. When a conflict does occur a shift will be performed at the ordinal position based upon the specified byteWidth. When located onto existing bitfields they will be packed together provided they do not conflict, otherwise the conflict rule above applies.

        Supported packing starts with bit-0 (lsb) of the first byte for little-endian, and with bit-7 (msb) of the first byte for big-endian. This is the default behavior for most compilers. Insertion behavior may not work as expected if packing rules differ from this.

        Specified by:
        insertBitField in interface Structure
        Parameters:
        ordinal - the ordinal of the component to be inserted.
        byteWidth - the storage allocation unit width which contains the bitfield. Must be large enough to contain the "effective bit size" and corresponding bitOffset. The actual component size used will be recomputed during insertion.
        bitOffset - corresponds to the bitfield left-shift amount with the storage unit when viewed as big-endian. The final offset may be reduced based upon the minimal storage size determined during insertion.
        baseDataType - the bitfield base datatype (certain restrictions apply).
        bitSize - the declared bitfield size in bits. The effective bit size may be adjusted based upon the specified baseDataType.
        componentName - the field name to associate with this component.
        comment - the comment to associate with this component.
        Returns:
        the bitfield component created whose associated data type will be BitFieldDataType.
        Throws:
        InvalidDataTypeException - if the specified baseDataType is not a valid base type for bitfields.
        java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException - if ordinal is less than 0 or greater than the current number of components.

      • insertBitFieldAt

        public DataTypeComponentImpl insertBitFieldAt​(int byteOffset,

                                       throws InvalidDataTypeException
        Description copied from interface: Structure
        Inserts a new bitfield at the specified location in this composite. This method is intended to be used with structures with packing disabled where the bitfield will be precisely placed. Within an packed structure the specified byteOffset, byteWidth and bitOffset will be used to identify the appropriate ordinal but may not be preserved. The component length will be computed based upon the specified parameters and will be reduced from byteWidth to its minimal size for the new component.

        When packing disabled, a component shift will only occur if the bitfield placement conflicts with another component. If no conflict occurs, the bitfield will be placed at the specified location consuming any DEFAULT components as needed. When a conflict does occur a shift will be performed at the point of conflict based upon the specified byteWidth. When located onto existing bitfields they will be packed together provided they do not conflict, otherwise the conflict rule above applies.

        Supported packing for little-endian fills lsb first, whereas big-endian fills msb first. Insertion behavior may not work as expected if packing rules differ from this.

        Zero length bitfields may be inserted although they have no real affect when packing disabled. Only the resulting byte offset within the structure is of significance in determining its ordinal placement.

        Specified by:
        insertBitFieldAt in interface Structure
        Parameters:
        byteOffset - the first byte offset within this structure which corresponds to the first byte of the specified storage unit identified by its byteWidth.
        byteWidth - the storage unit width which contains the bitfield. Must be large enough to contain the specified bitSize and corresponding bitOffset. The actual component size used will be recomputed during insertion.
        bitOffset - corresponds to the bitfield left-shift amount with the storage unit when viewed as big-endian. The final offset may be reduced based upon the minimal storage size determined during insertion.
        baseDataType - the bitfield base datatype (certain restrictions apply).
        bitSize - the bitfield size in bits. A bitSize of 0 may be specified although its name will be ignored.
        componentName - the field name to associate with this component.
        comment - the comment to associate with this component.
        Returns:
        the componentDataType created whose associated data type will be BitFieldDataType.
        Throws:
        InvalidDataTypeException - if the specified data type is not a valid base type for bitfields.

        Parameters:
        ordinal - the ordinal of the component to clear.

        public boolean repack​(boolean notify)
        Description copied from class: CompositeDataTypeImpl
        Repack components within this composite based on the current packing, alignment and DataOrganization settings. Non-packed Structures: change detection is limited to component count and length is assumed to already be correct.

        NOTE: If modifications to stored length are made prior to invoking this method, detection of a size change may not be possible.

        NOTE: Currently a change in calculated alignment can not be provided since this value is not stored.

        Specified by:
        repack in class CompositeDataTypeImpl
        Parameters:
        notify - if true notification will be sent to parents if a size change or component placement change is detected.

        Get the optional trailing flexible array component associated with this structure.

        NOTE: The trailing flexable array may be assigned an incorrect offset when packing is enabled and the minimum alignment is specified. In such cases, the flex array may be less than the overall structure length. Currently, it is assumed the trailing flex array will have an offset equal to the overall structure length.

        Specified by:
        getFlexibleArrayComponent in interface Structure
        Returns:
        optional trailing flexible array component associated with this structure or null if not present.
