Hi,
We want to define a flags variable defining like that:
var:flag_masks = 3, 3, 3, 3, 12, 12, 12, 12 ;
var:flag_values = 0, 1, 2, 3, 0, 4, 8, 12 ;
var:flag_meanings = "very_bad_quality bad_quality good_quality
very_good_quality
very_bad_weather bad_weather
good_weather very_good_weather" ;
I understand from http://cfconventions.org/Conformance/conformance.html that it
is not allowed to use several time the same value (here zero) in flag_values:
Requirements:
* The flag_values attribute values must be mutually exclusive among the
set of flag_values attribute values defined for that variable.
So it means that for each new "bits combination" in the flags definition we
lost one of the combination because we cannot use zero more than one time?
Do you confirm this? What is the reason?
Thanks in advance,
Julien
