Detailed Description

Helper for packing into/out of a bit field.

The bitfield is identified by a bitmask, which should contain a contiguous string of 1's. The in function will then take a value and shift and mask it appropriately for the bitfield. The out function will extract a value from the bitfield.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Bitfield()

CaloCellPackerUtils::Bitfield::Bitfield

(

unsigned int

mask = 1

)

Constructor.

Parameters

The	bit mask. Should contain a single contiguous string of 1's.

Definition at line 25 of file CaloCellPackerUtils.cxx.

{
  // Shift the mask until the rightmost bit is non-zero.
  assert (mask != 0);
  m_shift = 0;
  while ((mask & 1) == 0) {
    mask >>= 1;
    ++m_shift;
  }
  m_mask = mask;
}
