public class BooleanPrimitiveArrayType
extends PrimitiveArrayType

Boolean arrays are stored using a byte for each boolean value (as usual, 0 for false and 1 for true). There is aways one byte in front of the actual array to indicate whether we have an empty array or not. If the array is empty, the first and only byte has a value of 0; otherwise, its value is one.

Method Detail

make

public java.lang.Object make(HGPersistentHandle handle,
                             LazyRef<HGHandle[]> targetSet,
                             IncidenceSetRef incidenceSet)

Description copied from interface: HGAtomType

Construct a new run-time instance of a hypergraph atom. A plain node must be constructed whenever the targetSet parameter is null or of length 0. Otherwise, a HGLink instance must be constructed.

It is not required that all atom types be able to construct both plain (node) atoms and HGLinks. It is up to an HGAtomType implementation to support either or both. When a HGLink counterpart is not available for a particular run-time type, an implementation may choose to create an instance of the default link value holder implementation HGValuedLink, provided by HyperGraph.

Parameters:

handle - The HGPersistentHandle of the atom value.

targetSet - When the atom is a link, this parameter holds the target set of the link. When the atom is a node, the parameter is an array of 0 length.

incidenceSet - TODO

Returns:

The run-time atom instance. The return value should never be null. In case the handle points to an invalid instance (inexisting or with a erronous layout), the method should throw a HGException.

store

public HGPersistentHandle store(java.lang.Object instance)

Description copied from interface: HGAtomType

Store a run-time instance of a hypergraph atom into the hypergraph HGStore as a new atom.

Parameters:

instance - The atom instance.

Returns:

The persistent handle of the stored value.
