Olabusayo Kilo reassigned DAFFODIL-2173:
----------------------------------------
Assignee: (was: Olabusayo Kilo)
> 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
> Priority: Major
>
> 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.
