Spec BS 32

BS 32

DEFINITION MODULE BS32 [SetType];

(* 32-bit Bitset *)

FROM FileIO IMPORT File; (* required for IO *)


(* BS32 type *)

TYPE
    BS32 = OPAQUE RECORD
        ARRAY 4 OF OCTET; (* 32 bits *)
    END; (* BS32 *)


(* Literal assignment *)

PROCEDURE [:=] assign ( VAR assignTo : BS32;
                        elements     : VARIADIC OF CARDINAL );
(* Assigns a variadic list of values of type CARDINAL to BS32 assignTo.
   This procedure is bound to the := operator for literal assignment. *)


(* accessor *)

PROCEDURE [.] isElement ( CONST set : BS32; element : CARDINAL ) : BOOLEAN;
(* Returns TRUE if element is an element of BS32 set, otherwise FALSE.
   This function is bound to the array operator [ ] and the IN operator
   for rvalues of type BS32. *)


(* mutator *)

PROCEDURE [!] storeValue ( CONST set : BS32;
                           element   : CARDINAL;
                           value     : BOOLEAN );
(* Includes character element in BS32 set if value is TRUE, otherwise
   removes it from set. This procedure is bound to the array operator [ ]
   for lvalues of type BS32. *)


(* counter *)

PROCEDURE [COUNT] elementCount ( CONST set : BS32 ) : CARDINAL;
(* Returns the number of elements in BS32 set. This function is bound
   to pervasive function COUNT for type BS32. *)


(* Dyadic set operations *) 

PROCEDURE [+] union ( CONST set1, set2 : BS32 ) : BS32;
(* Returns the union of BS32 values set1 and set2.
   This function is bound to the + operator for type BS32. *)

PROCEDURE [-] diff ( CONST set1, set2 : BS32 ) : BS32;
(* Returns the set difference of BS32 values set1 and set2.
   This function is bound to the - operator for type BS32. *)

PROCEDURE [*] intersection ( set1, set2 : BS32 ) : BS32;
(* Returns the intersection of BS32 values set1 and set2.
   This function it bound to the * operator for type BS32. *)

PROCEDURE [/] symdiff ( set1, set2 : BS32 ) : BS32;
(* Returns the symmetric set difference of BS32 values set1 and set2.
   This function is bound to the / operator for type BS32. *)


(* Relational operations *)

PROCEDURE [=] isEqual ( set1, set2 : BS32 ) : BOOLEAN;
(* Returns TRUE if BS32 values set1 and set2 are equal, otherwise FALSE.
   This function is bound to operators = and # for type BS32. *)

PROCEDURE [<] isSubset ( set1, set2 : BS32 ) : BOOLEAN;
(* Returns TRUE if BS32 set1 is a true subset of set2, otherwise FALSE.
   This function is bound to operators < and >= for type BS32. *)

PROCEDURE [>] isSuperset ( set1, set2 : BS32 ) : BOOLEAN;
(* Returns TRUE if BS32 set1 is a true superset of set2, otherwise FALSE.
   This function is bound to operators > and <= for type BS32. *)


(* IO operations *)

(* The EBNF for the textual representation of BS32 values is:
    bitsetValue : simpleFormat | compactFormat | bitGroupFormat ;
    simpleFormat : bit+ ;
    compactFormat : base16Digit+ ;
    bitGroupFormat : "{" bit+ ( groupSeparator? bit+ )* "}" ;
    groupSeparator : " " | "." ;
    bit  : "0" | "1" ;
    base16Digit : "0" .. "9" | "A" .. "F" ;
   The number of bits shown is equal to the bitwidth of the BS32 type. *)

PROCEDURE Read ( infile : File; VAR set : BS32 );
(* Reads the textual representation of a BS32 value from stream infile
   - any leading whitespace is skipped
   - any remaining characters that are part of the value being read are
     removed from infile
   - the textual representation of the value read is assigned to set
   - the file status is set to any of:
     success, outOfRange, wrongFormat, endOfLine, or endOfInput. This
   procedure is substituted for invocations of READ with a BS32 argument. *)

PROCEDURE Write ( outfile : File; CONST set : BS32 );
(* Writes the value of CHARSET set in simple format to stream outfile. This
   procedure is substituted for invocations of WRITE with a BS32 argument.*)

PROCEDURE WriteF ( outfile      : File;
                   CONST fmtStr : ARRAY OF CHAR;
                   items        : VARIADIC OF CONST BS32 );
(* Writes a formatted textual representation of one or more BS32 values to
   output stream outfile. The output format is determined by fmtStr. This
   procedure is substituted for invocations of WRITEF with one or more
   BS32 arguments. *)

END BS32.
