PACKING N UNPACKING



Packing and Unpacking Packing performs concatenation of scalars, strings, list elements, or struct fields in the order that you specifyUnpacking performs the reverse operation, splitting a single expression into multiple expressions.




Packing.High



Places the least significant bit of the last physical field declared or the highest list item at index [0] in the resulting list of bit.



EXAMPLE:
<'
struct instruction {
%opcode : uint (bits : 3);
%operand : uint (bits : 5);
%address : uint (bits : 8);
!data_packed_high : list of bit;
keep opcode == 0b100;
keep operand == 0b11001;
keep address == 0b00001111;

do_packs () is {
data_packed_high = pack(packing.high, opcode, operand);
};
};

extend sys {
instruction : instruction;
run() is also {
instruction.do_packs();
print instruction;
print "----------------------------";
out (" %b \n",instruction.data_packed_high );
}
};
'>


RESULT:

instruction = instruction-@0: instruction
@test
0 %opcode: 4
1 %operand: 25
2 %address: 15
3 !data_packed_high: (8 items)
"----------------------------" = "----------------------------"
%b
1 0 0 1 1 0 0 1


Packing.Low



Places the least significant bit of the first physical field declared or lowest list item at index [0] in the resulting list of bit.

Syntax Example i_stream = pack(packing.high, opcode, operand1, operand2);



EXAMPLE:
<'
struct instruction {
%opcode : uint (bits : 3);
%operand : uint (bits : 5);
%address : uint (bits : 8);
!data_packed_low : list of bit;
keep opcode == 0b100;
keep operand == 0b11001;
keep address == 0b00001111;

do_packs () is {
data_packed_low = pack(packing.low, opcode, operand);
};
};

extend sys {
instruction : instruction;
run() is also {
instruction.do_packs();
print instruction;
print "----------------------------";
out (" %b \n",instruction.data_packed_low );
}
};
'>

RESULT:

instruction = instruction-@0: instruction
@test
0 %opcode: 4
1 %operand: 25
2 %address: 15
3 !data_packed_low: (8 items)
"----------------------------" = "----------------------------"
%b
0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1
