Field Documentation

BBClass* BBByteArray::clas

The class of the array.

Warning:

Should always point to bbArrayClass

See also:

bbArrayClass

Reimplemented from BBArray.

int BBByteArray::refs

The number of times an instance is currently used.

Note:

Only used in single-threaded mode (by the reference-counting GC).

Warning:

Do not change or read this manually, as it is controlled be the runtime.

Reimplemented from BBArray.

BBSize BBByteArray::scales[1]

The number of elements each dimension can hold.

The first dimension of this array (scales[0]) contains the number of all elements the array holds. It can be used as the array's length.

Reimplemented from BBArray.

BBSize BBByteArray::size

The size of the array's data section in bytes.

Note:

The size of the header (the BBArray struct) is not included.

See also:

BBARRAY_SIZE

Reimplemented from BBArray.

const char* BBByteArray::type

The TypeTag of the data type which the array stores.

• l Specifies a BBLong array
• f Specifies a BBFloat array
• d Specifies a BBDouble array
• : Specifies a BBObject array
• $ Specifies a BBString array
