public interface CharacterisedVariable
extends Variable

A representation of the model object 'Characterised Variable'. A characterised variable is a special variable which contains a performance abstraction of a data type. It can be transformed in a named reference and a variable characterisation. It has to end always with a variable characterisation type. Examples are "a.NUMBER_OF_ELEMENTS" or "array.STRUCTURE".

The following features are supported:

• Characterisation Type

VariableCharacterisationType getCharacterisationType()

Returns the value of the 'Characterisation Type' attribute. The literals are from the enumeration VariableCharacterisationType.

If the meaning of the 'Characterisation Type' attribute isn't clear, there really should be more of a description here...

The type of the characterisation of the characterised variable. The type can be any of the varibale characterisation types, i.e., STRUCTURE, NUMBER_OF_ELEMENTS, TYPE, VALUE, or BYTESIZE.

Returns:

the value of the 'Characterisation Type' attribute.

Parameters:

value - the new value of the 'Characterisation Type' attribute.
