@brief CTF IR field types.

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

A CTF IR <strong><em>field type</em></strong> is a field type that you
can use to create concrete @fields.

You can create a @field object from a CTF IR field type object
with bt_ctf_field_create().

In the CTF IR hierarchy, you can set the root field types of three
objects:

- \ref ctfirtraceclass
  - Trace packet header field type: bt_ctf_trace_set_packet_header_type().
- \ref ctfirstreamclass
  - Stream packet context field type:
    bt_ctf_stream_class_set_packet_context_type().
  - Stream event header field type:
    bt_ctf_stream_class_set_event_header_type().
  - Stream event context field type:
    bt_ctf_stream_class_set_event_context_type().
- \ref ctfireventclass
  - Event context field type: bt_ctf_event_class_set_context_type().
  - Event payload field type: bt_ctf_event_class_set_payload_type().

As of Babeltrace \btversion, those six previous "root" field types
\em must be @structft objects.

If, at any level within a given root field type, you add a @seqft or a
@varft, you do not need to specify its associated length
or tag field type: the length or tag string is enough for the Babeltrace
system to resolve the needed field type depending on where this
dynamic field type is located within the whole hierarchy. It is
guaranteed that this automatic resolving is performed for all the field
types contained in a given
\link ctfirstreamclass CTF IR stream class\endlink (and in its
children \link ctfireventclass CTF IR event classes\endlink) once you
add it to a \link ctfirtraceclass CTF IR trace class\endlink with
bt_ctf_trace_add_stream_class(). Once a stream class is the child of
a trace class, this automatic resolving is performed for the field
types of an event class when you add it with
bt_ctf_stream_class_add_event_class(). If the system cannot find a path
to a field in the hierarchy for a dynamic field type, the adding
function fails.

The standard CTF field types are:

<table>
  <tr>
    <th>Type ID
    <th>CTF IR field type
    <th>CTF IR field which you can create from this field type
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>#BT_CTF_FIELD_TYPE_ID_INTEGER
    <td>\ref ctfirintfieldtype
    <td>\ref ctfirintfield
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>#BT_CTF_FIELD_TYPE_ID_FLOAT
    <td>\ref ctfirfloatfieldtype
    <td>\ref ctfirfloatfield
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>#BT_CTF_FIELD_TYPE_ID_ENUM
    <td>\ref ctfirenumfieldtype
    <td>\ref ctfirenumfield
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>#BT_CTF_FIELD_TYPE_ID_STRING
    <td>\ref ctfirstringfieldtype
    <td>\ref ctfirstringfield
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>#BT_CTF_FIELD_TYPE_ID_STRUCT
    <td>\ref ctfirstructfieldtype
    <td>\ref ctfirstructfield
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>#BT_CTF_FIELD_TYPE_ID_ARRAY
    <td>\ref ctfirarrayfieldtype
    <td>\ref ctfirarrayfield
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>#BT_CTF_FIELD_TYPE_ID_SEQUENCE
    <td>\ref ctfirseqfieldtype
    <td>\ref ctfirseqfield
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>#BT_CTF_FIELD_TYPE_ID_VARIANT
    <td>\ref ctfirvarfieldtype
    <td>\ref ctfirvarfield
  </tr>
</table>

Each field type has its own <strong>type ID</strong> (see
#bt_ctf_field_type_id). You get the type ID of a field type object
with bt_ctf_field_type_get_type_id().

You can get a deep copy of a field type with bt_ctf_field_type_copy().
This function resets, in the field type copy, the resolved field type
of the dynamic field types. The automatic resolving can be done again
when you eventually call bt_ctf_event_create(),
bt_ctf_stream_class_add_event_class(), or
bt_ctf_trace_add_stream_class().

You \em must always use bt_ctf_field_type_compare() to compare two
field types. Since some parts of the Babeltrace system can copy field
types behind the scenes, you \em cannot rely on a simple field type
pointer comparison.

As with any Babeltrace object, CTF IR field type 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 following functions can \em freeze field type objects:

- bt_ctf_field_create() freezes its field type parameter.
- bt_ctf_stream_class_add_event_class(), if its
  \link ctfirstreamclass CTF IR stream class\endlink parameter has a
  \link ctfirtraceclass CTF IR trace class\endlink parent, freezes
  the root field types of its
  \link ctfireventclass CTF IR event class\endlink parameter.
- bt_ctf_trace_add_stream_class() freezes the root field types of the
  whole trace class hierarchy (trace class, children stream classes,
  and their children event classes).
- bt_ctf_writer_create_stream() freezes the root field types of the
  whole CTF writer's trace class hierarchy.
- bt_ctf_event_create() freezes the root field types of its event class
  parameter and of ther parent stream class of this event class.

You cannot modify a frozen field type object: it is considered
immutable, except for \link refs reference counting\endlink.

@brief CTF IR enumeration field type.

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

A CTF IR <strong><em>enumeration field type</em></strong> is
a field type that you can use to create concrete @enumfields.

You can create an enumeration field type with
bt_ctf_field_type_enumeration_create(). This function needs a @intft
which represents the storage field type of the created enumeration field
type. In other words, an enumeration field type wraps an integer field
type and adds label-value mappings to it.

An enumeration mapping has:

- A <strong>name</strong>.
- A <strong>range of values</strong> given by a beginning and an ending
  value, both included in the range.

You can add a mapping to an enumeration field type with
bt_ctf_field_type_enumeration_add_mapping() or
bt_ctf_field_type_enumeration_add_mapping_unsigned(), depending on the
signedness of the wrapped @intft.

You can find mappings by name or by value with the following find
operations:

- bt_ctf_field_type_enumeration_find_mappings_by_name(): Finds the
  mappings with a given name.
- bt_ctf_field_type_enumeration_find_mappings_by_unsigned_value():
  Finds the mappings which contain a given unsigned value in their
  range.
- bt_ctf_field_type_enumeration_find_mappings_by_signed_value():
  Finds the mappings which contain a given signed value in their range.

Those functions return a @enumftiter on the result set of the find
operation.

Many mappings can share the same name, and the ranges of a given
enumeration field type are allowed to overlap. For example,
this is a valid set of mappings:

@verbatim
APPLE  -> [  3, 19]
BANANA -> [-15,  1]
CHERRY -> [ 25, 34]
APPLE  -> [ 55, 55]
@endverbatim

The following set of mappings is also valid:

@verbatim
APPLE  -> [  3, 19]
BANANA -> [-15,  1]
CHERRY -> [ 25, 34]
APPLE  -> [ 30, 55]
@endverbatim

Here, the range of the second \c APPLE mapping overlaps the range of
the \c CHERRY mapping.

@brief CTF IR enumeration field type mapping iterator.

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

A CTF IR <strong><em>enumeration field type mapping
iterator</em></strong> is an iterator on @enumft mappings.

You can get an enumeration mapping iterator from one of the following
functions:

- Find operations of an @enumft object:
  - bt_ctf_field_type_enumeration_find_mappings_by_name(): Finds the
    mappings with a given name.
  - bt_ctf_field_type_enumeration_find_mappings_by_unsigned_value():
    Finds the mappings which contain a given unsigned value in their
    range.
  - bt_ctf_field_type_enumeration_find_mappings_by_signed_value():
    Finds the mappings which contain a given signed value in their range.
- bt_ctf_field_enumeration_get_mappings(): Finds the mappings in the
  @enumft of an @enumfield containing its current integral value in
  their range.

Those functions guarantee that the returned iterator can iterate on
at least one mapping. Otherwise, they return \c NULL.

You can get the name and the range of a mapping iterator's current
mapping with
bt_ctf_field_type_enumeration_mapping_iterator_get_signed()
or
bt_ctf_field_type_enumeration_mapping_iterator_get_unsigned(),
depending on the signedness of the @intft wrapped by the
@enumft. If you only need the name of the current mapping, you can
use any of the two functions and set the \p range_begin and \p range_end
parameters to \c NULL.

You can advance an enumeration field type mapping iterator to the next
mapping with
bt_ctf_field_type_enumeration_mapping_iterator_next(). This
function returns a negative value when you reach the end of the
result set.

As with any Babeltrace object, CTF IR enumeration field type mapping
iterator 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.

@brief CTF IR variant field type.

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

A CTF IR <strong><em>variant field type</em></strong> is
a field type that you can use to create concrete @varfields.

You can create a variant field type with
bt_ctf_field_type_variant_create(). This function expects you to pass
both the tag's @enumft and the tag name of the variant field type to
create. The tag's field type is optional, as the Babeltrace system can
automatically resolve it using the tag name. You can leave the tag name
to \c NULL initially, and set it later with
bt_ctf_field_type_variant_set_tag_name(). The tag name must be set when
the variant field type is frozen. See \ref ctfirfieldtypes to learn more
about the automatic resolving and the conditions under which a field
type can be frozen.

You can add a field to a variant field type with
bt_ctf_field_type_variant_add_field(). All the field names of a
variant field type \em must exist as mapping names in its tag's @enumft.

The effective alignment of the @varfields described by a
variant field type is always 1, but the individual fields of a
@varfield can have custom alignments.

You can set the byte order of <em>all the contained fields</em>,
recursively, of a variant field type with the common
bt_ctf_field_type_set_byte_order() function.
