Field Details

CORRUPT

private static final NumberSet CORRUPT

Used to indicate a VariableState has become corrupt.

If bitset is assigned to CORRUPT then that indicates the VariableState has become corrupt and should no longer be used.

For example, a VariableState would become corrupt if it had a minimum value of 7 and an attempt was made to set its maximum value to 6.

min

private long min

The minimum possible value for this VariableState.

max

private long max

The maximum possible value for this VariableState.

bitset

private NumberSet bitset

The set of all possible values for this VariableState.

If null then indicates that all numbers in the range min to max (inclusive) are possible values for this VariableState.

If assigned to CORRUPT then indicates that this VariableState has become corrupt and should no longer be used.
