BloombergLP::balber::BerDecoder_Node

This class provides current context for BER decoding process and represents a node for BER element. The BER element consists of element tag, length field, body field and optional end of tag. The class also provides various methods to read the different parts of BER element such as tag header (tag itself and length fields), body for any type of data, and optional tag trailer.

Member Functions

NameDescription
BerDecoder_Node [constructor]Constructors
~BerDecoder_Node [destructor]Destroy this decoder node.
fieldName Return field name for this node.
formattingMode Return formatting mode for this node.
hasMore Return true if current node has more embedded elements and return false otherwise.
length Return expected length of the body or -1 when the length is indefinite.
logError Set the node severity to e_BER_ERROR, print the error message specified by msg to the decoder's log, print the stack of nodes to the decoder's log, and return a non-zero value.
operator() Function call operators
parent Return the address of the parent node.
print Print the content of node to the specified stream out. depth is the value d_decoder->currentDepth assumed after node was created.
printStack Print the chain of nodes to the specified out stream, starting from this node and iterating to the parent node, then its parent, etc.
readTagHeader Read the node tag field containing tag class, tag type and tag number, and the node length field. Return zero on success, and a non-zero value otherwise.
readTagTrailer Read the node end-of-octets field, if such exists, so the stream will be positioned at the start of next node. Return zero on success and a non-zero value otherwise.
readVectorChar Load the node body content into the specified variable. Return 0 on success, and a non-zero value otherwise.
readVectorUnsignedChar Load the node body content into the specified variable. Return 0 on success, and a non-zero value otherwise.
setFieldName Set object field name associated with this node to the specified name.
setFormattingMode Set formatting mode specified by formattingMode.
skipField Skip the field body. The identifier octet and length have already been extracted. Return zero on success, and a non-zero value otherwise. Note that method must be called when input stream is positioned at the first byte of the body field.
startPos Return the position of node tag from the beginning of input stream.
tagClass Return the BER tag class for this node.
tagNumber Return the BER tag number for this node.
tagType Return the BER tag type for this node.
