Detailed Description

This is a driver program to test the functions defined in field.h and implemented in field.c. The program takes one or more command line parameters and calls one of the methods, then prints the results. To see how to use the program, execute testField in a terminal window. This will print a usage statement defining how to run the program. The first parameter of the program is always a key defining which function to run. The options are:

• bin print the next parameter in decimal, hex and binary
• getBit gets the specified bit from a binary value (2 more parameters)
• setBit sets the specified bit in a binary value to 1 (2 more parameters)
• clearBit sets the specified bit in a binary value to 0 (2 more parameters)
• fits check if value will fit in a field (3 more parameters)
• get get a field from a value (4 more parameter)
• set set a field in a value (4 more parameters)

A sample execution might be: testField get 0xABCD 9 4 0

which prints

dec: 60  hex: 0x3C  bin: 0000-0000-0000-0000-0000-0000-0011-1100

All values may be entered as signed decimal numbers or as hex values by beginning it with 0x.

Function Documentation

int main	(	int	argc,
		char *	argv[]
	)

Entry point of the program

Parameters

argc	count of arguments, will always be at least 1
argv	array of parameters to program argv[0] is the name of the program, so additional parameters will begin at index 1.

Returns

0 the Linux convention for success.

void printBinary

(

int

value

)

Print a 32 bit binary representation of a value.

Parameters

value

the value to be printed

void printBinaryMSB	(	int	value,
		int	msb
	)

Print the binary representation of a value starting at the specified bit position. A separator is printed every 4 bits for easy reading.

Parameters

value	the value to be printed
msb	the bit position to begin printing (31 to 0)
