IO Module LONGINT

DEFINITION MODULE LONGINT;

(* I/O Module for Type LONGINT *)

FROM FileIO IMPORT File;

(* EBNF of the textual representation of LONGINT values:
    cardinalValue : simpleFormat |
        cBase16Format | m2Base16Format | universalFormat ;
    simpleFormat : decimalDigit+ ;
    cBase16Format : "0x" base16Digit+ ;
    m2Base16Format : "0" base16Digit+ "H" ;
    universalFormat :  sign? fillChar* numeral ;
    sign : "+" | "-" ;
    fillChar : " " | "*" | "0" ;
    numeral : leadDigitGroup ( separator? digitGroup )* ;
    separator : " " | "." | "," ;
    leadDigitGroup : decimalDigit decimalDigit? decimalDigit? ;
    digitGroup : decimalDigit decimalDigit decimalDigit ;
    decimalDigit  : "0" .. "9" ;
    base16Digit : decimalDigit | "A" .. "F" ; *)

PROCEDURE Read ( infile : File; VAR n : LONGINT );
(* Reads the textual representation of an LONGINT 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 n
   - the file status is set to any of:
     success, outOfRange, wrongFormat, endOfLine, or endOfInput. This
   function is substituted for invocations of READ with a LONGINT argument. *)

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

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

END LONGINT.
