----------------------------------------
Summary: Data dumps should be bit-aware
Key: DAFFODIL-2173
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAFFODIL-2173
Project: Daffodil
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Debugger
Affects Versions: 2.4.0
Reporter: Olabusayo Kilo
Data dumps print out bytes without regard to the bit offset. So if some bits
have already been consumed, the dumps might include those already consumed bits.
Ideally we would like to be bit sensitive. A possible solution would be to
track if the first byte of the left over data, already had consumed bytes i.e
ended mid-byte, and only display those non consumed bits. That is, if the data
ended at bit 5, and bit order is mostSignificantBitFirst, then this picture
would look like xxxxx000 (where the 0's are the actual left over data bits in
that first byte of the left over data.) If bitOrder is leastSignificantBitFirst
the picture would look like 000xxxxx.
inStream.fillByteArray takes the bit offset into accound and can be utilized.
