Constructors and Destructor
We use the default versions of destructor, copy constructor, and assignment operator. The default constructor is hidden as a result of defining the other constructors. This is intentional; we don't want to allow an Opcode object to be constructed with an invalid state.

Detailed Description

The Opcode class objects represent standard OPCODEs of the header section of DNS messages as defined in RFC1035.

This is a straightforward value class encapsulating the OPCODE code values. Since OPCODEs are 4-bit integers that are used in limited places and it's unlikely that new code values will be assigned, we could represent them as simple integers (via constant variables or enums). However, we define a separate class so that we can benefit from C++ type safety as much as possible. For convenience we also provide an enum type for standard OPCDE values, but it is generally advisable to handle OPCODEs through this class. In fact, public interfaces of this library uses this class to pass or return OPCODEs instead of the bare code values.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Opcode()

isc::dns::Opcode::Opcode ( const uint8_t code )

explicit

Constructor from the code value.

Since OPCODEs are 4-bit values, parameters larger than 15 are invalid. If code is larger than 15 an exception of class isc::OutOfRange will be thrown.

Parameters

code	The underlying code value of the Opcode.

Definition at line 44 of file opcode.cc.
