BitVector

data BitVector (n :: Nat) Source #

A vector of bits.

Bit indices are descending
Num instance performs unsigned arithmetic.

BitVector has the type role

>>> :i BitVector
type role BitVector nominal
...

as it is not safe to coerce between different size BitVector. To change the size, use the functions in the Resize class.

Accessors

Length information

size# :: KnownNat n => BitVector n -> Int Source #

maxIndex# :: KnownNat n => BitVector n -> Int Source #

Construction

bLit :: forall n. KnownNat n => String -> Q (TExp (BitVector n)) Source #

Create a binary literal

>>> $$(bLit "1001") :: BitVector 4
1001
>>> $$(bLit "1001") :: BitVector 3
001

NB: You can also just write:

>>> 0b1001 :: BitVector 4
1001

The advantage of bLit is that you can use computations to create the string literal:

>>> import qualified Data.List as List
>>> $$(bLit (List.replicate 4 '1')) :: BitVector 4
1111

Also bLit can handle don't care bits:

>>> $$(bLit "1.0.") :: BitVector 4
1.0.

Concatenation

(++#) :: KnownNat m => BitVector n -> BitVector m -> BitVector (n + m) Source #

Concatenate two BitVectors

Pattern matching

bitPattern :: String -> Q Pat Source #

Template Haskell macro for generating a pattern matching on some bits of a value.

This macro compiles to an efficient view pattern that matches the bits of a given value against the bits specified in the pattern. The scrutinee can be any type that is an instance of the Num, Bits and Eq typeclasses.

The bit pattern is specified by a string which contains:

'0' or '1' for matching a bit
'.' for bits which are not matched (wildcard)
'_' can be used as a separator similar to the NumericUnderscores language extension
lowercase alphabetical characters can be used to bind some bits to variables. For example "0aab11bb" will bind two variables aa :: BitVector 2 and bbb :: BitVector 3 with their values set by the corresponding bits

The following example matches a byte against two bit patterns where some bits are relevant and others are not while binding two variables aa and bb:

  decode :: Unsigned 8 -> Maybe Bool
  decode $(bitPattern "00.._.110") = Just True
  decode $(bitPattern "10.._0001") = Just False
  decode $(bitPattern "aa.._b0b1") = Just (aa + bb > 1)
  decode _ = Nothing
