Approximate size of the given value in bytes.
Approximate size of the given value in bytes. It is actual size only for primitive types.
Returns true if dataSize doesn't depend on data value.
Returns true if dataSize doesn't depend on data value. This is useful for optimizations of calculating sizes of collections. The method should have O(1) amortized complexity over n invocations to avoid over-cost attacks on ErgoTree interpretation.

This method should be overriden in derived classes to add new methods in addition to inherited.
This method should be overriden in derived classes to add new methods in addition to inherited.
Typical override: super.getMethods() ++ Seq(m1, m2, m3)
Returns true if this type embeddable, i.e.
Returns true if this type embeddable, i.e. a type that can be combined with type
constructor for optimized encoding. For each embeddable type T
, and type
constructor C
, the type C[T]
can be represented by a single byte.
Returns -1 if method
is not found.
Returns all the methods of this type.
Returns parsable type term string of the type described by this type descriptor.
Returns parsable type term string of the type described by this type descriptor. For every type it should be inverse to SigmaTyper.parseType. This is default fallback implementation, should be overriden if it is not correct for a particular type.
