Detailed Description

These are a collection of methods and macros of the BitUnion system of defining bitfields on top of an underlying class.

Macro Definition Documentation

BitUnion

#define BitUnion	(		type,
			name
	)		__BitUnion(type, name)

Use this to define an arbitrary type overlayed with bitfields.

Definition at line 487 of file bitunion.hh.

BitUnion64

#define BitUnion64

(

name

)

__BitUnion(uint64_t, name)

Use this to define conveniently sized values overlayed with bitfields.

Definition at line 494 of file bitunion.hh.

EndBitUnion

#define EndBitUnion

(

name

)

Value:

        }; \
    }; \
    typedef gem5::bitfield_backend::BitUnionOperators< \
        BitfieldUnderlyingClasses##name> name;

This closes off the class and union started by the above macro.

It is followed by a typedef which makes "name" refer to a BitfieldOperator class inheriting from the class and union just defined, which completes building up the type for the user.

Definition at line 428 of file bitunion.hh.

EndSubBitUnion

#define EndSubBitUnion

(

name

)

Value:

        }; \
        inline operator __StorageType () const \
        { return __storage; } \
        \
        inline __StorageType operator = (const __StorageType & _storage) \
        { return __storage = _storage;} \
    } name;

This closes off the union created above and gives it a name.

Unlike the top level BitUnion, we're interested in creating an object instead of a type. The operators are defined in the macro itself instead of a class for technical reasons. If someone determines a way to move them to one, please do so.

Definition at line 455 of file bitunion.hh.

SignedSubBitUnion

#define SignedSubBitUnion	(		name,
			first,
			last
	)		__SubBitUnion(name, SignedBitfield, first, last)

Regular bitfields These define macros for read/write regular bitfield based subbitfields.

Definition at line 479 of file bitunion.hh.

SubBitUnion

#define SubBitUnion	(		name,
			first,
			last
	)		__SubBitUnion(name, Bitfield, first, last)

Regular bitfields These define macros for read/write regular bitfield based subbitfields.

Definition at line 470 of file bitunion.hh.

Typedef Documentation

BitUnionBaseType

template<typename T >

using gem5::BitUnionBaseType = typedef typename bitfield_backend::BitUnionBaseType<T>::Type

Definition at line 540 of file bitunion.hh.

BitUnionType

template<typename T >

using gem5::BitUnionType = typedef bitfield_backend::BitUnionOperators<T>

Definition at line 519 of file bitunion.hh.

Function Documentation

operator<<()

template<typename T >

std::ostream& gem5::operator<<	(	std::ostream &	os,
		const BitUnionType< T > &	bu
	)

A default << operator which casts a bitunion to its underlying type and passes it to bitfield_backend::bitfieldBackendPrinter.

Definition at line 579 of file bitunion.hh.
