Method Details
-
getAddress
long getAddress()Get the unwrapped address, represented as a Java long.
Use caution when comparing addresses, as some addresses may be negative.
Note that, on segmented memory architectures, it may not be possible to represent all addresses accurately as integers.
- Returns:
- the unwrapped address, represented as a 64-bit integer.
-
getAddressSpace
ImageAddressSpace getAddressSpace()Get the address space to which this pointer belongs.- Returns:
- the address space to which this pointer belongs.
-
add
Build a new image pointer offset from this one by the given amount.- Parameters:
offset
- Offset in bytes.- Returns:
- a new ImagePointer based at getAddress() + offset
-
isExecutable
Tests memory execute permission.- Returns:
- true if this memory address is within an executable page.
- Throws:
DataUnavailable
-
isReadOnly
Tests memory read/write permission.- Returns:
- true if this memory address is read-only. False otherwise.
- Throws:
DataUnavailable
-
getPointerAt
Get the value at the given offset from this pointer. To determine the number of bytes to skip after this call to read the next value, useImageProcess.getPointerSize()
. Note: to create an ImagePointer using an absolute address usecom.ibm.dtfj.image.ImageAddressSpace.getPointer()
- Parameters:
index
- an offset (in bytes) from the current position- Returns:
- the 32 or 64-bit pointer stored at getAddress() + index
- Throws:
MemoryAccessException
- if the memory cannot be readCorruptDataException
- if the memory should be in the image, but is missing or corrupted- See Also:
-
getLongAt
Get the value at the given offset from this pointer.- Parameters:
index
- an offset (in bytes) from the current position- Returns:
- the 64-bit long stored at getAddress() + index

- if the memory should be in the image, but is missing or corrupted
-
getIntAt
Get the value at the given offset from this pointer.- Parameters:
index
- an offset (in bytes) from the current position- Returns:
- the 32-bit int stored at getAddress() + index
- Throws:
MemoryAccessException
- if the memory cannot be readCorruptDataException
- if the memory should be in the image, but is missing or corrupted
-
getShortAt
Get the value at the given offset from this pointer.- Parameters:
index
- an offset (in bytes) from the current position- Returns:
- the 16-bit short stored at getAddress() + index
- Throws:
MemoryAccessException
- if the memory cannot be readCorruptDataException
- if the memory should be in the image, but is missing or corrupted
-
getByteAt
Get the value at the given offset from this pointer.- Parameters:
index
- an offset (in bytes) from the current position- Returns:
- the 8-bit byte stored at getAddress() + index
- Throws:
MemoryAccessException
- if the memory cannot be readCorruptDataException
- if the memory should be in the image, but is missing or corrupted
-
getFloatAt
Get the value at the given offset from this pointer.- Parameters:
index
- an offset (in bytes) from the current position- Returns:
- the 32-bit float stored at getAddress() + index
- Throws:
MemoryAccessException
- if the memory cannot be readCorruptDataException
- if the memory should be in the image, but is missing or corrupted
-
getDoubleAt
Get the value at the given offset from this pointer.- Parameters:
index
- an offset (in bytes) from the current position- Returns:
- the 64-bit double stored at getAddress() + index
- Throws:
MemoryAccessException
- if the memory cannot be readCorruptDataException
- if the memory should be in the image, but is missing or corrupted
-
equals
Description copied from class:java.lang.Object
Compares the argument to the receiver, and answers true if they represent the same object using a class specific comparison. The implementation in Object answers true only if the argument is the exact same object as the receiver (==). -
hashCode
int hashCode()Description copied from class:java.lang.Object
Answers an integer hash code for the receiver. Any two objects which answertrue
when passed to.equals
must answer the same value for this method. -
getProperties
Properties getProperties()Get the OS-specific properties for this address- Returns:
- a table of OS-specific properties for this address.
Values which are commonly available include
- "readable" -- whether the memory address can be read from
- "writable" -- whether the memory address can be written to
- "executable" -- whether data in the memory address can be executed
