public interface VariableCharacterisation extends org.eclipse.emf.cdo.CDOObject
A representation of the model object 'Variable Characterisation'. Variable characterisations store performance critical meta-information on a variable. For example, if a variable's value is used in a long running loop, the value of the variable is performance critical. Or as an other example, for Q-Sort it is performancewise important to know how much elements are in a given array and whether the array is sorted or not. Variable characterisations contain a type which tells what kind of meta-information is stored (STRUCTURE, NUMBER_OF_ELEMENTS, ...) and a PCMRandomVariable for storing the value of the characterisation. For example, in "a.NUMBER_OF_ELEMENTS=10" the a is the name of the variable, NUMBER_OF_ELEMENTS is the characterisation type and "10" would be the specification (as PCMRandomVariable) of the characterisation's value.The following features are supported:

getType
VariableCharacterisationType getType()
Returns the value of the 'Type' attribute. The literals are from the enumerationVariableCharacterisationType
. The type specifies the kind of the variable characterisation. There are 5 types available: STRUCTURE, NUMBER_OF_ELEMENTS, VALUE, BYTESIZE, and TYPE.- Returns:
- the value of the 'Type' attribute.

- Generated class or method.
- EMF model class or method.
- required="true" ordered="false"

setType
void setType(VariableCharacterisationType value)
Sets the value of the 'Type
' attribute.- Parameters:
value
- the new value of the 'Type' attribute.- See Also:
VariableCharacterisationType
,getType()
- Generated class or method.
-
getSpecification_VariableCharacterisation
PCMRandomVariable getSpecification_VariableCharacterisation()
Returns the value of the 'Specification Variable Characterisation' containment reference. It is bidirectional and its opposite is 'Variable Characterisation Specification
'. The specification contains the value of a variable characterisation. It is a stoachastic expression which may also contain references to other variable characterisations (that is the reason why it is a PCMRandomVariable).- Returns:
- the value of the 'Specification Variable Characterisation' containment reference.
- See Also:

setSpecification_VariableCharacterisation
void setSpecification_VariableCharacterisation(PCMRandomVariable value)
Sets the value of the 'Specification Variable Characterisation
' containment reference.- Parameters:
value
- the new value of the 'Specification Variable Characterisation' containment reference.- See Also:
getSpecification_VariableCharacterisation()
- Generated class or method.
-
getVariableUsage_VariableCharacterisation
VariableUsage getVariableUsage_VariableCharacterisation()
Returns the value of the 'Variable Usage Variable Characterisation' container reference. It is bidirectional and its opposite is 'Variable Characterisation Variable Usage
'.- Returns:
- the value of the 'Variable Usage Variable Characterisation' container reference.
- See Also:

-
setVariableUsage_VariableCharacterisation
void setVariableUsage_VariableCharacterisation(VariableUsage value)
Sets the value of the 'Variable Usage Variable Characterisation
' container reference.- Parameters:
value
- the new value of the 'Variable Usage Variable Characterisation' container reference.- See Also:
getVariableUsage_VariableCharacterisation()
- Generated class or method.
