For example, a 2-byte +-- integer type would be compatible with Swapped2, 4-byte integer with +-- Swapped4, and so on. Failure to do so will result in a warning when +-- compiling the instantiation; this warning should be heeded. Ignoring this +-- warning can result in unexpected results. + +-- An example of proper usage follows: + +-- declare +-- type Short_Integer is range -32768 .. 32767; +-- for Short_Integer'Size use 16; -- for confirmation + +-- X : Short_Integer := 16#7FFF#; + +-- function Swapped is new Byte_Swapping.Swapped2 (Short_Integer); + +-- begin +-- Put_Line (X'Img); +-- X := Swapped (X); +-- Put_Line (X'Img); +-- end; + +-- Note that the generic actual types need not be scalars, but must be +-- 'definite' types. They can, for example, be constrained subtypes of +-- unconstrained array types as long as the size is correct. For instance, +-- a subtype of String with length of 4 would be compatible with the +-- Swapped4 generic: + +-- declare +-- subtype String4 is String (1 .. 4); +-- function Swapped is new Byte_Swapping.Swapped4 (String4); +-- S : String4 := "ABCD"; +-- begin +-- Put_Line (S); +-- S := Swapped (S); +-- Put_Line (S); +-- end; + +-- Similarly, a constrained array type is also acceptable: + +-- declare +-- type Mask is array (0 .. 15) of Boolean; +-- for Mask'Component_Size use Boolean'Size; +-- X : Mask := (0 .. 7 => True, others => False); +-- function Swapped is new Byte_Swapping.Swapped2 (Mask); +-- begin +-- ... +-- X := Swapped (X); +-- ... +-- end; + +-- A properly-sized record type will also be acceptable, and so forth + +-- However, as described, a size mismatch must be avoided. In the following we +-- instantiate one of the generics with a type that is too large. The result +-- of the function call is undefined, such that assignment to an object can +-- result in garbage values. + +-- Wrong: declare +-- subtype String16 is String (1 .. 16); + +-- function Swapped is new Byte_Swapping.Swapped8 (String16); +-- -- Instantiation generates a compiler warning about +-- -- mismatched sizes + +-- S : String16; + +-- begin +-- S := "ABCDEFGHDEADBEEF"; +-- +-- Put_Line (S); +-- +-- -- the following assignment results in garbage in S after the +-- -- first 8 bytes +-- +-- S := Swapped (S); +-- +-- Put_Line (S); +-- end Wrong; + +-- When the size of the type is larger than 8 bytes, the use of the non- +-- generic procedures is an alternative because no function result is +-- involved; manipulation of the object is direct. + +-- The procedures are passed the address of an object to manipulate. They will +-- swap the first N bytes of that object corresponding to the name of the +-- procedure. For example: + +-- declare +-- S2 : String := "AB"; +-- for S2'Alignment use 2; +-- S4 : String := "ABCD"; +-- for S4'Alignment use 4; +-- S8 : String := "ABCDEFGH"; +-- for S8'Alignment use 8; + +-- begin +-- Swap2 (S2'Address); +-- Put_Line (S2); + +-- Swap4 (S4'Address); +-- Put_Line (S4); + +-- Swap8 (S8'Address); +-- Put_Line (S8); +-- end; + +-- If an object of a type larger than N is passed, the remaining bytes of the +-- object are undisturbed. For example: + +-- declare +-- subtype String16 is String (1 .. 16); + +-- S : String16; +-- for S'Alignment use 8; + +-- begin +-- S := "ABCDEFGHDEADBEEF"; +-- Put_Line (S); +-- Swap8 (S'Address); +-- Put_Line (S); +-- end; + +with System; + +package GNAT.Byte_Swapping is + pragma Pure; + + -- NB: all the routines in this package treat the application objects as + -- unsigned (modular) types of a size in bytes corresponding to the routine + -- name.
