Public Member Functions
	BitField64 (const std::string &initString)
	The c'tor takes an initialization string of the form: <fieldDesc>[,<fieldDesc>.
lcio::long64	getValue () const
	Returns the current 64bit value.
void	setValue (lcio::long64 value)
	Set a new 64bit value.
void	reset ()
	Reset - same as setValue(0) - useful if the same encoder is used for many objects.
BitFieldValue &	operator[] (size_t theIndex)
	Acces to field through index.
const BitFieldValue &	operator[] (size_t theIndex) const
	Const acces to field through index.
unsigned	highestBit () const
	Highest bit used in fields [0-63].
size_t	size () const
	Number of values.
size_t	index (const std::string &name) const
	Index for field named 'name'.
BitFieldValue &	operator[] (const std::string &name)

const BitFieldValue &	operator[] (const std::string &name) const
	Const Access to field through name .
unsigned	lowWord () const
	The low word, bits 0-31.
unsigned	highWord () const
	The high word, bits 32-63.
std::string	fieldDescription () const
	Return a valid description string of all fields.
std::string	valueString () const
	Return a string with a comma separated list of the current sub field values.

Detailed Description

A bit field of 64bits that allows convenient declaration and manipulation of sub fields of various widths.

Example:
BitField64 b("layer:7,system:-3,barrel:3,theta:32:11,phi:11" ) ;
b[ "layer" ] = 123 ;
b[ "system" ] = -4 ;
b[ "barrel" ] = 7 ;
b[ "theta" ] = 180 ;
b[ "phi" ] = 270 ;
...
int theta = b["theta"] ;
...
unsigned phiIndex = b.index(phi) ;
int phi = b[ phiIndex ] ;

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

UTIL::BitField64::BitField64

(

const std::string &

initString

)

[inline]

The c'tor takes an initialization string of the form:
<fieldDesc>[,<fieldDesc>.

..]
fieldDesc = name:[start]:[-]length
where:
name: The name of the field
start: The start bit of the field. If omitted assumed to start immediately following previous field, or at the least significant bit if the first field.
length: The number of bits in the field. If preceeded by '-' the field is signed, otherwise unsigned.
Bit numbering is from the least significant bit (bit 0) to the most significant (bit 63).
Example: "layer:7,system:-3,barrel:3,theta:32:11,phi:11"
