public class BitField { private final int _mask; private final int _shift_count;

Creates a BitField instance.

Params:
  • mask – the mask specifying which bits apply to this BitField. Bits that are set in this mask are the bits that this BitField operates on
/** * <p>Creates a BitField instance.</p> * * @param mask the mask specifying which bits apply to this * BitField. Bits that are set in this mask are the bits * that this BitField operates on */
public BitField(int mask) { _mask = mask; int count = 0; int bit_pattern = mask; if (bit_pattern != 0) { while ((bit_pattern & 1) == 0) { count++; bit_pattern >>= 1; } } _shift_count = count; }

Obtains the value for the specified BitField, appropriately shifted right.

Many users of a BitField will want to treat the specified bits as an int value, and will not want to be aware that the value is stored as a BitField (and so shifted left so many bits).

Params:
  • holder – the int data containing the bits we're interested in
See Also:
  • setValue(int, int)
Returns:the selected bits, shifted right appropriately
/** * <p>Obtains the value for the specified BitField, appropriately * shifted right.</p> * * <p>Many users of a BitField will want to treat the specified * bits as an int value, and will not want to be aware that the * value is stored as a BitField (and so shifted left so many * bits).</p> * * @see #setValue(int,int) * @param holder the int data containing the bits we're interested * in * @return the selected bits, shifted right appropriately */
public int getValue(int holder) { return getRawValue(holder) >> _shift_count; }

Obtains the value for the specified BitField, appropriately shifted right, as a short.

Many users of a BitField will want to treat the specified bits as an int value, and will not want to be aware that the value is stored as a BitField (and so shifted left so many bits).

Params:
  • holder – the short data containing the bits we're interested in
See Also:
  • setShortValue(short, short)
Returns:the selected bits, shifted right appropriately
/** * <p>Obtains the value for the specified BitField, appropriately * shifted right, as a short.</p> * * <p>Many users of a BitField will want to treat the specified * bits as an int value, and will not want to be aware that the * value is stored as a BitField (and so shifted left so many * bits).</p> * * @see #setShortValue(short,short) * @param holder the short data containing the bits we're * interested in * @return the selected bits, shifted right appropriately */
public short getShortValue(short holder) { return (short) getValue(holder); }

Obtains the value for the specified BitField, unshifted.

Params:
  • holder – the int data containing the bits we're interested in
Returns:the selected bits
/** * <p>Obtains the value for the specified BitField, unshifted.</p> * * @param holder the int data containing the bits we're * interested in * @return the selected bits */
public int getRawValue(int holder) { return holder & _mask; }

Obtains the value for the specified BitField, unshifted.

Params:
  • holder – the short data containing the bits we're interested in
Returns:the selected bits
/** * <p>Obtains the value for the specified BitField, unshifted.</p> * * @param holder the short data containing the bits we're * interested in * @return the selected bits */
public short getShortRawValue(short holder) { return (short) getRawValue(holder); }

Returns whether the field is set or not.

This is most commonly used for a single-bit field, which is often used to represent a boolean value; the results of using it for a multi-bit field is to determine whether *any* of its bits are set.

Params:
  • holder – the int data containing the bits we're interested in
Returns:true if any of the bits are set, else false
/** * <p>Returns whether the field is set or not.</p> * * <p>This is most commonly used for a single-bit field, which is * often used to represent a boolean value; the results of using * it for a multi-bit field is to determine whether *any* of its * bits are set.</p> * * @param holder the int data containing the bits we're interested * in * @return <code>true</code> if any of the bits are set, * else <code>false</code> */
public boolean isSet(int holder) { return (holder & _mask) != 0; }

Returns whether all of the bits are set or not.

This is a stricter test than isSet(int), in that all of the bits in a multi-bit set must be set for this method to return true.

Params:
  • holder – the int data containing the bits we're interested in
Returns:true if all of the bits are set, else false
/** * <p>Returns whether all of the bits are set or not.</p> * * <p>This is a stricter test than {@link #isSet(int)}, * in that all of the bits in a multi-bit set must be set * for this method to return <code>true</code>.</p> * * @param holder the int data containing the bits we're * interested in * @return <code>true</code> if all of the bits are set, * else <code>false</code> */
public boolean isAllSet(int holder) { return (holder & _mask) == _mask; }

Replaces the bits with new values.

Params:
  • holder – the int data containing the bits we're interested in
  • value – the new value for the specified bits
See Also:
  • getValue(int)
Returns:the value of holder with the bits from the value parameter replacing the old bits
/** * <p>Replaces the bits with new values.</p> * * @see #getValue(int) * @param holder the int data containing the bits we're * interested in * @param value the new value for the specified bits * @return the value of holder with the bits from the value * parameter replacing the old bits */
public int setValue(int holder, int value) { return (holder & ~_mask) | ((value << _shift_count) & _mask); }

Replaces the bits with new values.

Params:
  • holder – the short data containing the bits we're interested in
  • value – the new value for the specified bits
See Also:
  • getShortValue(short)
Returns:the value of holder with the bits from the value parameter replacing the old bits
