@brief CTF IR fields.

@code
#include <babeltrace/ctf-ir/fields.h>
@endcode

A CTF IR <strong><em>field</em></strong> is an object which holds a
concrete value, and which is described by a @ft.

In the CTF IR hierarchy, you can set the root fields of two objects:

- \ref ctfirpacket
  - Trace packet header field: bt_packet_set_header().
  - Stream packet context field: bt_packet_set_context().
- \ref ctfirevent
  - Stream event header field: bt_event_set_header().
  - Stream event context field: bt_event_set_stream_event_context().
  - Event context field: bt_event_set_event_context().
  - Event payload field: bt_event_set_payload_field().

There are two categories of fields:

- <strong>Basic fields</strong>:
  - @intfield: contains an integral value.
  - @floatfield: contains a floating point number value.
  - @enumfield: contains an integer field which contains an integral
    value.
  - @stringfield: contains a string value.
- <strong>Compound fields</strong>:
  - @structfield: contains an ordered list of named fields
    (possibly with different @fts).
  - @arrayfield: contains an ordered list of fields which share
    the same field type.
  - @seqfield: contains an ordered list of fields which share
    the same field type.
  - @varfield: contains a single, current field.

You can create a field object from a @ft object with
bt_field_create(). The enumeration and compound fields create their
contained fields with the following getters if such fields do not exist
yet:

- bt_field_enumeration_get_container()
- bt_field_structure_get_field_by_name()
- bt_field_array_get_field()
- bt_field_sequence_get_field()
- bt_field_variant_get_field()

If you already have a field object, you can also assign it to a specific
name within a @structfield with
bt_field_structure_set_field_by_name().

You can get a reference to the @ft which was used to create a field with
bt_field_get_type(). You can get the
\link #bt_field_type_id type ID\endlink of this field type directly with
bt_field_get_type_id().

You can get a deep copy of a field with bt_field_copy(). The field
copy, and its contained field copies if it's the case, have the same
field type as the originals.

As with any Babeltrace object, CTF IR field objects have
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_counting">reference
counts</a>. See \ref refs to learn more about the reference counting
management of Babeltrace objects.

The functions which freeze CTF IR \link ctfirpacket packet\endlink and
\link ctfirevent event\endlink objects also freeze their root field
objects. You cannot modify a frozen field object: it is considered
immutable, except for \link refs reference counting\endlink.

A CTF IR <strong><em>integer field</em></strong> is a @field which
holds a signed or unsigned integral value, and which is described by
a @intft.

An integer field object is considered \em unsigned if
bt_field_type_integer_get_signed() on its parent field type returns
0. Otherwise it is considered \em signed. You \em must use
bt_field_unsigned_integer_get_value() and
bt_field_unsigned_integer_set_value() with an unsigned integer
field, and bt_field_signed_integer_get_value() and
bt_field_signed_integer_set_value() with a signed integer field.

After you create an integer field with bt_field_create(), you
\em must set an integral value with
bt_field_unsigned_integer_set_value() or
bt_field_signed_integer_set_value() before you can get the
field's value with bt_field_unsigned_integer_get_value() or
bt_field_signed_integer_get_value().

A CTF IR <strong><em>structure field</em></strong> is a @field which
contains an ordered list of zero or more named @fields which can be
different @fts, and which is described by a @structft.

To set the value of a specific field of a structure field, you need to
first get the field with bt_field_structure_get_field_by_name() or
bt_field_structure_get_field_by_index(). If you already have a
field object, you can assign it to a specific name within a structure
field with bt_field_structure_set_field_by_name().
