Mike Beckerle commented on DAFFODIL-2473:
-----------------------------------------
Note: shift operations should include arithmetic shift right and logical shift
right as separate functions.
So the full list is
* shiftLeft
* shiftRight
* logicalShiftRight (which is only different from shiftRight for signed types)
* andBits
* orBits
* notBits
All in the dfdlx namespace.
> 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
> Assignee: Samarth Sah
> Priority: Major
>
> 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.
