Constructors
Create a ModuleManifestEntry from its parts.
Properties
A short textual description of each argument type. Only valid if the returnType is not null.
The index into the current module's tuple of phrases, accessible via A_Module.originatingPhraseAtIndex. If this has not yet been computed, it will be -1, and the bodyFunction will be some A_Function. If there is no suitable body, or if it's not something that was serialized with the module, it will also be -1, but the bodyFunction will be null.
The location within this module of the start of the body function for this definition, or 0 if inapplicable.
The kind of manifest entry that this is.
The NameInModule being declared, defined, or restricted, if any.
A short textual description of the return type. If this is null, the argumentTypes should be ignored.
A short textual description of this entry, to present in a list of manifest entries.
The first line of the top level statement responsible for adding the definition described by this manifest entry.
Functions
Write this entry to the provided DataOutputStream, in a way that is naturally delimited for subsequent reading via the secondary constructor that takes a DataInputStream.
