# Bit String
|
|
|
|
A library to check and extract values from integers based on a "bit string". Primarily intended for (my) emulator instruction decoding, but maybe someone else can find a use for it?
|
|
|
|
## Example
|
|
|
|
```zig
|
|
const std = @import("std");
|
|
|
|
test "doc test" {
|
|
const value: u8 = 0b10001011;
|
|
try std.testing.expectEqual(true, match("10001011", value));
|
|
try std.testing.expectEqual(false, match("11111011", value));
|
|
try std.testing.expectEqual(true, match("1---1011", value));
|
|
{
|
|
const ret = extract("1000aaaa", value);
|
|
try std.testing.expectEqual(@as(u4, 0b1011), ret.a);
|
|
}
|
|
{
|
|
const ret = extract("1aaa1aaa", value);
|
|
try std.testing.expectEqual(@as(u6, 0b000011), ret.a);
|
|
}
|
|
{
|
|
const ret = extract("1---abcd", value);
|
|
try std.testing.expectEqual(@as(u3, 0b1), ret.a);
|
|
try std.testing.expectEqual(@as(u3, 0b0), ret.b);
|
|
try std.testing.expectEqual(@as(u3, 0b1), ret.c);
|
|
try std.testing.expectEqual(@as(u3, 0b1), ret.d);
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Syntax
|
|
|
|
| Token | Meaning | Description
|
|
| ------- | --------- | -----------
|
|
| `0` | Unset bit | In the equivalent position, the value's bit must be set.
|
|
| `1` | Set bit | In the equivalent position, the value's bit must be set.
|
|
| `a..=z` | Variable | Given the 4-bit bit string, `"1aa0"`, the value `0b1010` would produce the variable `a` with the value `0b01`
|
|
| `-` | Ignored | In the equivalent position, the value's bit does not matter.
|
|
|
|
## Notes
|
|
|
|
- This library does the majority of it's work at `comptime`. Due to this, you cannot create strings to match against at runtime.
|
|
- Variables do not have to be "sequential". This means the 5-bit bit string `"1aa0a"` with the value `0b10101` will produce the variable `a` with the value `0b011`.
