Pointer types

Types and type guards for all kinds of pointers

This package provides the root Pointer type and accompanying Pointer namespace, which contains TypeScript type definitions and type guards for working with ethdebug/format/pointer objects.

The Pointer namespace is organized itself into namespaces in a nested manner, roughly to correspond to the JSON-Schema organization itself.

Types and type guards are available for all pointer schemas, i.e., for every different kind of region and collection.

A full source listing follows below, but see example usage to get a sense for how these types are organized:

Usage example

import { Pointer, isPointer } from "@ethdebug/pointers";

const region: Pointer.Region = { location: "stack", slot: 0 };
const group: Pointer.Collection.Group = { group: [region] };

isPointer(region); // true
Pointer.isRegion(region); // true
Pointer.isRegion(group); // false
Pointer.isCollection(group); // true
Pointer.Collection.isGroup(group); // true

Pointer.Expression

The Pointer namespace also contains the Pointer.Expression type and accompanying Pointer.Expression namespace. This namespace is similarly nested, also roughly to correspond to the root JSON-Schema.

See these quick examples to get a sense for this part of the type hierarchy:

Usage example

import { Pointer } from "@ethdebug/pointers";

const expression: Pointer.Expression = {
  $sum: [0, 1]
}

Pointer.Expression.isKeccak256(expression); // false
Pointer.Expression.isArithmetic(expression); // true
Pointer.Expression.Arithmetic.isSum(expression); // true
