---------------------------------------
Hi Mike, I am new to daffodil.I am interested in working on this issue.
> Need bit-wise AND, OR, NOT, and shift operations
> ------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: DAFFODIL-2473
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAFFODIL-2473
> Project: Daffodil
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Back End, Front End
> Affects Versions: 3.0.0
> Reporter: Mike Beckerle
> Priority: Critical
>
> There are a number of data representations DFDL cannot handle because it
> cannot manipulate numbers with sufficient flexibility in expressions.
> We need AND, OR, NOT, maybe XOR, and shift left, shift right, and probably
> arithmetic shift right (which does sign-extension of signed numbers). We
> should add functions for the whole set of them.
> On signed numbers with specific sizes (long, int, short, byte) these should
> behave as if the data was binary in 2s complement representation, i.e., as if
> the most-significant-bit was playing the role of 2s complement sign.
> These operations should all be undefined (Schema Def Error) on decimal,
> integer, and non-negative integer values, as well as float and double.
> Specifically, these operations are defined on long and its subtypes, and
> unsignedLong and its subtypes only.
