reven2.types._error.ErrorType

class documentation

class ErrorType(_Type):

Special type that represents a type that couldn't be determined for some reason.

For example, debug objects like PDBs have many invariants in their formats that could be violated by a particular PDB, resulting in erroneous types.

This type is different from UnresolvedDeclaration in that the latter is a normal occurrence when a type is opaque, while an ErrorType indicates an erroneous debug object or a limitation of the debug object parser.

Method	`__eq__`	Compares the instance for equality with an object.
Method	`__hash__`	Returns the hash for this value.
Method	`__init__`	Initializes a new instance of this class from its error message.
Method	`__ne__`	Compares the instance for equality with an object.
Method	`__str__`	Returns the nicely printable string representation of this instance.
Method	`as_bytes`	Cast this type to a `RawBuffer` so that it can be read as a series of bytes.
Method	`description`	The short description of this type.
Method	`message`	The error message that is specific to this instance.
Method	`_construct_type`	Return the underlying `construct` instance
Instance Variable	`_message`	Undocumented

Inherited from Type:

Method	`is_context_sensitive`	Whether the context argument needed by some methods actually has an effect.
Method	`parse`	Parses the value of an instance of this type from a raw buffer, possibly depending on the context.
Method	`size_bytes`	The minimal number of bytes necessary to hold an instance of this type, possibly depending on the context.
Method	`to_bytes`	Build a byte buffer from a value of this type.
Method	`_resolve`	Uses the resolver to return a resolved version of the type, if possible.

def __eq__(self, o):

Compares the instance for equality with an object.

if the object is not an ErrorType, it will never be equal to this instance.
otherwise, two ErrorType instances are considered equal if they have the same message.

Parameters
o:`object`	Undocumented
Returns
`bool`	Undocumented

def __hash__(self):

Returns the hash for this value.

Returns
`int`	Undocumented

def __init__(self, message):

Initializes a new instance of this class from its error message.

Parameters
message:`str`	Undocumented

def __ne__(self, o):

Compares the instance for equality with an object.

if the object is not an ErrorType, it will never be equal to this instance.
otherwise, two ErrorType instances are considered equal if they have the same message.

Parameters
o:`object`	Undocumented
Returns
`bool`	Undocumented

def __str__(self):

Returns the nicely printable string representation of this instance.

Returns
`str`	Undocumented

def as_bytes(self, size):

Cast this type to a RawBuffer so that it can be read as a series of bytes.

Information

Parameters
size:`int`	the size in bytes of the desired RawBuffer. Since the `ErrorType` is not aware of the size the type should have, this parameter allows to specify it.
Returns
`_RawBuffer`	Undocumented

def description(self):

overrides reven2.types._type.Type.description

The short description of this type.

For named types, it is the name of the type. For other types, it is generally __str__.

Returns
`str`	Undocumented

def message(self):

The error message that is specific to this instance.

Returns
`str`	Undocumented

def _construct_type(self, context=None):

overrides reven2.types._type.Type._construct_type

Return the underlying construct instance

Parameters
context:`_Optional[Context]`	Undocumented
Returns
`_construct.core.Construct`	Undocumented

_message =

Undocumented
