Detailed Description

Base class for high-level language capabilities.

This class is overridden to introduce a new high-level language back-end to the system. A static singleton is instantiated to automatically register the new capability with the system. A static array keeps track of all the registered capabilities.

The singleton is registered with a name, which the user can use to select the language, and it acts as a factory for the main language printing class for the capability, which must be derived from PrintLanguage. The factory method for the capability to override is buildLanguage().

Member Function Documentation

virtual PrintLanguage* PrintLanguageCapability::buildLanguage ( Architecture *  glb )

pure virtual

Build the main PrintLanguage object corresponding to this capability.

An Architecture will call this once. All decompiling from this Architecture will use this same emitter.

Parameters

glb	is the Architecture that will own the new emitter

Returns

the instantiated PrintLanguage emittter

Implemented in PrintCCapability, and PrintJavaCapability.

Referenced by Architecture::Architecture(), getName(), and Architecture::setPrintLanguage().

PrintLanguageCapability * PrintLanguageCapability::findCapability ( const string &  name )

static

Find a language capability by name.

Parameters

name	is the language name to search for

Returns

the matching language capability or NULL

References getName(), name, and thelist.

Referenced by getName(), and Architecture::setPrintLanguage().

PrintLanguageCapability * PrintLanguageCapability::getDefault ( void  )

static

Retrieve the default language capability.

This retrieves the capability with its isdefault field set or the first capability registered.

Returns

the default language capability

References thelist.

Referenced by Architecture::Architecture(), and getName().

void PrintLanguageCapability::initialize ( void  )

virtual

Complete initialization of an extension point.

This method is implemented by each extension so it can do specialized integration

Implements CapabilityPoint.

References isdefault, and thelist.
