Detailed Description

Convenience functions for ScalarType.

Function Documentation

ScalarType epics::pvData::ScalarTypeFunc::getScalarType ( std::string const & value )

Get the scalarType for value.

Parameters

value The name of the scalar type.

Returns: The scalarType. An exception is thrown if the name is not the name of a scalar type.

bool epics::pvData::ScalarTypeFunc::isInteger ( ScalarType scalarType )

Is the type an integer, i.e. is it one of byte,...ulong

Parameters

scalarType The type.

bool epics::pvData::ScalarTypeFunc::isNumeric ( ScalarType scalarType )

Is the type numeric, i.e. is it one of byte,...,double

Parameters

scalarType The type.

bool epics::pvData::ScalarTypeFunc::isPrimitive ( ScalarType scalarType )

Is the type primitive, i.e. not string

Parameters

scalarType The type.

bool epics::pvData::ScalarTypeFunc::isUInteger ( ScalarType scalarType )

Is the type an unsigned integer, i.e. is it one of ubyte,...ulong

Parameters

scalarType The type.

const char* epics::pvData::ScalarTypeFunc::name ( ScalarType scalarType )

Get a name for the scalarType.

Parameters

scalarType The type.
