Syntax

service Converter;

Description

This service provide a widening converter. This means it can convert from one type to another if possible. What is possible?
byte: byte, (short * 1), (long * 1), (hyper * 1), (float * 1), (double * 1), (enum * 2), (any * 3), boolean, (char * 4), (string * 5)
short: byte, short, (long * 1), (hyper * 1), (float * 7), (double * 7), (enum * 2), (any * 3), boolean, char, (string * 5)
long: byte, short, long, (hyper * 1), (float * 7), (double * 7), enum, (any * 3), boolean, char, (string * 5)
hyper: byte, short, long, hyper, (float * 7), (double * 7), enum, (any * 3), boolean, char, (string * 5)
float: byte, short, long, hyper, float, (double * 7), (enum * 8), (any * 3), boolean, char, (string * 5)
double: byte, short, long, hyper, float, double, enum, (any * 3), boolean, char, (string * 5)
enum: (byte * 9), (short * 9), (long * 9), (hyper * 9), (float * 9), (double * 9), (enum * 10), (any * 3), (string * 11)
void: ok for all types. any: ok for all types. boolean: byte, short, long, hyper, float, double, (any * 3), boolean, char, (string * 12). 0 -> false, != 0 -> true
char: byte, short, (long * 1), (hyper * 1), (float * 7), (double * 7), enum, (any * 3), boolean, char, (string * 13)
string: byte, short, long, hyper, float, double, enum, (any * 3), boolean, char, string
struct: (any * 3), (struct * 14) interface: (any * 3), (struct * 14) exception: (any * 3), (exception * 14) union: (any * 3), (union * 14) sequence: (any * 3), (sequence * 15) short: byte, short, (long * 1), (hyper * 1), (float * 1), (double * 1), (enum * 2), (any * 3), boolean, (char * 4), (string * 5), (interface * 6)
1: only convert if the value is in the range of the target type.
2: only convert if the value, not the position, of the enum is in the range of the target type.
3: get value until it is not an any. Than convert it with the other rules.
4: only convert if the value of the character is between 0 - 255.
5: only convert if the represents an dezimal, hexadezimal (0x...) or an floating point number. Examples: 10, 0x10, 10.045, 10,555, +10, +10.6e10, -10.6e-10, .16. 6: only convert if the interface supply the 7: only convert if the value is in the range of the target type. The value is roundet to an integer.
8: only converted if the float can converted back to the same enum value. 9: only converted if the number is one of the enumeration type values. Normally you need core reflection information of the enum type. 10: only converted if it is the same enumeration type. 11: only converted if the string contains the name of an enumeration type value. Normally you need core reflection information of the enum type. 12: only converted if the value of the string is "1", "true" or "0", "false". The comparision is case insensitiv. 13: only converted if the length of the string is 1 or 0. 14: only converted if the types are equal or the source type is derived from the destination type. 15: only converted if each element of the source sequence can converted to an element of the destination sequence.
