Declaration & members

public class ClassFieldLink extends DataType

Declared in src/com/multiversesocial/hyperview/ClassFieldLink.java, lines 16–151. 2 field(s), 7 constructor(s), 6 method(s). Every member has an anchor you can link to (e.g. ClassFieldLink.html#<id>).

Fields (2)

Declaration	Value / initializer	Description	Source
`static final int MAX_NEST_DEPTH`	`= 64` (constant)	No comment in source; used in `fieldByteSize()`; name appears in 1 other source file(s): Externalizer.	line 27
`HyperLinkedList nestedFields`		Nested schema for OBJECT / OBJECT_ARRAY / OBJECT_2D_ARRAY / OBJECT_3D_ARRAY (base type OBJECT). Each child is itself a ClassFieldLink (primitives or further OBJECT nesting). Null means no nested list yet; empty list means an object with zero fields (0 bytes). Added 2026-09-25.	line 25

Constructors (7)

Signature	Description	Source
`ClassFieldLink()`	1 statement(s); calls `super()`.	line 29
`ClassFieldLink(byte tType)`	1 statement(s); calls `super()`.	line 34
`ClassFieldLink(int tType)`	1 statement(s); calls `super()`.	line 39
`ClassFieldLink(int tType, String tName)`	1 statement(s); calls `super()`.	line 44
`ClassFieldLink(int tType, int tLength)`	1 statement(s); calls `super()`.	line 49
`ClassFieldLink(int tType, int tWidth, int tHeight)`	1 statement(s); calls `super()`.	line 54
`ClassFieldLink(int tType, int tWidth, int tHeight, int tDepth)`	1 statement(s); calls `super()`.	line 59

Methods (6)

Signature	Description	Source
`int attachNestedField(ClassFieldLink child)`	Attach a child field under this OBJECT* schema. Returns HyperLinkedList.items after store.	line 73
`HyperLinkedList ensureNestedFields()`	Ensure nestedFields exists (unnamed HyperLinkedList - not registered with SystemListRegistry).	line 65
`static long fieldByteSize(ClassFieldLink f)`	Bytes occupied by one field (OBJECT recurses into nestedFields; arrays multiply lengths). Cycle on the ancestor path, or depth > MAX_NEST_DEPTH, yields 0 for that node.	line 85
`static long fieldByteSize(ClassFieldLink f, IdentityHashMap<ClassFieldLink,Boolean> path, int depth)`	16 statement(s); calls `path.containsKey()`, `path.put()`, `fieldByteSize()`, `path.remove()`.	line 90
`boolean isObjectBase()`	Returns `((type & TYPE_MASK) & 7) == OBJECT`.	line 78
`static long listByteSize(HyperLinkedList list)`	6 statement(s); calls `fieldByteSize()`.	line 136
