A TypeDescriptor comprises the state of a type.
| ReturnCode_t com.toc.coredx.dynamictype.TypeDescriptor.copy_from | ( | DDS.TypeDescriptor | other | ) |
Overwrite the contents of this descriptor with those of another descriptor.
Subsequent calls to equals, passing the same argument as to this method, return true. The other descriptor shall not be changed by this operation.
| RETCODE_BAD_PARAMETER | in the case of an invalid parameter |
| RETCODE_ERROR | in the case of any other error |
| boolean com.toc.coredx.dynamictype.TypeDescriptor.equals | ( | DDS.TypeDescriptor | other | ) |
Compare two TypeDescriptor's.
Two type descriptors are considered equal if and only if the values of all of the properties identified in the table above are equal in each of them.
| boolean com.toc.coredx.dynamictype.TypeDescriptor.is_consistent | ( | ) |
Indicates whether the states of all of this descriptor’s properties are consistent.
The definitions of consistency for each property are given in the section corresponding to that property.
| non-zero | if descriptor is consistent |
| zero | if descriptor is not consistent |
