<h1><a name="NAME"

<p>src/pmc/packfileconstanttable.pmc - PackfileConstantTable PMC</p>
<h1><a name="DESCRIPTION"
>DESCRIPTION</a></h1>
<p>This class implements a PackfileConstantTable object,
a segment of the .pbc data file used for storing constants of various types.
(int,
string,
PMC)</p>
<p>See packfile.pmc for the toplevel Packfile interface,
see packfilesegment.pmc for the list of common methods every packfile segment pmc must implement; see PDD13 for the design spec.</p>
<h2><a name="Methods"
>Methods</a></h2>
<dl>
<dt><a name="init"
><b><code>init</b></code></a></dt>
Create empty PackfileConstantTable.
<dt><a name="void_mark()"
><b><code>void mark()</b></code></a></dt>
Marks the object as live.
<dt><a name="set_pointer"
><b><code>set_pointer</b></code></a></dt>
Set pointer to underlying PackFile_ConstTable
<dt><a name="void_*get_pointer()"
><b><code>void *get_pointer()</b></code></a></dt>
<dt><a name="INTVAL_num_count()"
><b><code>INTVAL num_count()</b></code></a></dt>
<dt><a name="INTVAL_str_count()"
><b><code>INTVAL str_count()</b></code></a></dt>
<dt><a name="INTVAL_pmc_count()"
><b><code>INTVAL pmc_count()</b></code></a></dt>
Get the number of constants.
<dt><a name="FLOATVAL_get_number_keyed_int(INTVAL_index)"
><b><code>FLOATVAL get_number_keyed_int(INTVAL index)</b></code></a></dt>
Fetch a numeric constant.
<dt><a name="STRING_*get_string_keyed_int(INTVAL_index)"
><b><code>STRING *get_string_keyed_int(INTVAL index)</b></code></a></dt>
Fetch a string constant.
<dt><a name="PMC_*get_pmc_keyed_int(INTVAL_index)"
><b><code>PMC *get_pmc_keyed_int(INTVAL index)</b></code></a></dt>
Fetch a PMC constant.
<dt><a name="void_set_number_keyed_int(INTVAL_index,_FLOATVAL_value)"
><b><code>void set_number_keyed_int(INTVAL index, FLOATVAL value)</b></code></a></dt>
Set the constant to the given number.
<dt><a name="void_set_string_keyed_int(INTVAL_index,_STRING_*value)"
><b><code>void set_string_keyed_int(INTVAL index, STRING *value)</b></code></a></dt>
Set the constant to the given string.
<dt><a name="void_set_pmc_keyed_int(INTVAL_index,_PMC_*value)"
><b><code>void set_pmc_keyed_int(INTVAL index, PMC *value)</b></code></a></dt>
Set the constant to the given PMC (or key).
<dt><a name="void_set_main(INTVAL_index)"
><b><code>void set_main(INTVAL index)</b></code></a></dt>
Set the :main flag in a Sub in the constant table.Experimental.
Use with care.
There is no way to set the private flags from PIR,
so we need something like this.If something goes wrong,
blame NotFound.
<dt><a name="INTVAL_get_or_create_constant()"
><b><code>INTVAL get_or_create_constant()</b></code></a></dt>
Get or create constant for passed value.
<dt><a name="METHOD_type()"
><b><code>METHOD type()</b></code></a></dt>
Set segment type.</dl>
