AbstractDeserializer

abstract class AbstractDeserializer(input: InputStream, runtime: AvailRuntime, lookupPumpedObject: (Int) -> A_BasicObject)

An AbstractDeserializer consumes a stream of bytes to reconstruct objects that had been previously serialized with a Serializer.

Author

Mark van Gulik

Parameters

input

An InputStream from which to reconstruct objects.

runtime

The AvailRuntime from which to locate well-known objects during deserialization.

lookupPumpedObject

A function that maps from negative integers to objects that this deserializer has been primed with. This is the inverse function of Serializer.lookupPumpedObject.

Constructors

AbstractDeserializer

constructor(input: InputStream, runtime: AvailRuntime, lookupPumpedObject: (Int) -> A_BasicObject)

Construct a new Deserializer.

Properties

currentModule

var currentModule: A_Module

The current module.

loadedModules

val loadedModules: A_Map

The A_Modules that were already loaded in the runtime during instance creation.

Functions

readByte

fun readByte(): Int

Consume an unsigned byte from the input. Return it as an Int to ensure it's unsigned, i.e., 0 ≤ b ≤ 255.

readInt

fun readInt(): Int

Consume an int from the input in big endian order.

readShort

fun readShort(): Int

Consume an unsigned short from the input in big endian order. Return it as an Int to ensure it's unsigned, i.e., 0 ≤ b ≤ 65535.
