28 /* The internal buffer of bits is an int which is initiallized to zero.
29 * The Bit Buffer: [00000000000000000000000000000000] - 0 bits stored.
30 *
31 * Bits stored in the bit buffer occupy the most significant bits available.
32 * When bits are stored their order is preserved.
33 * Storing the 5 bits 01011 into the bit buffer would result in:
34 * The Bit Buffer: [01011000000000000000000000000000] - 5 bits stored.
35 *
36 * Additionally storing 0x12f3 (13 bits) would result in:
37 * The Bit Buffer: [01011100101111001100000000000000] - 18 bits stored.
38 *
39 * Data is stored via any of the put(...) functions.
40 *
41 * To retrieve bytes (chars) of data from the bit buffer and empty the bit buffer: flush();
42 * Flushing the bit buffer takes groups of 8 bits (octets) and stores them in the
43 * output buffer at the current byte position. Calling flush() would cause output
44 * to receive 2 bytes (0x5c, 0xbc) == (01011100, 10111100) and the remaining bits would
45 * be moved to the most significant bit positions.
46 * The Bit Buffer: [11000000000000000000000000000000] - 2 bits stored.
47 * Note: The empty bits of the bit buffer must be zero to avoid additional masking operations.
48 * flush() is called automatically if the bit buffer is too full during a call to put(...)
49 *
50 * When the bit storage operation is complete call finish(...). Finish will flush as many full
51 * bytes of data into the output buffer as possible, the remaining bits will be padded out
52 * to a full octet with zeros (on their less significant side), then written to the output
53 * buffer. finish( bytesStored, padding ) passes by reference the number of bytes stored
54 * and number of padding bits added (0 to 7) to the last stored byte.
55 *
56 * Bits are not added one at a time, they are masked, shifted and bitwise OR'ed into
57 * the buffer in as large a group as possible. This allows the BitWriter to add multiple bits in a single
58 * operation instead of calling a function for each 1 bit added.
59 *
60 * Normal usage:
61 *
62 * char * dataArray = new char[ max_output_size ];
63 * BitWriter * buffer = new BitWriter( dataArray, max_output_size );
64 * ...
65 * // various calls to put(...);
66 * ...
67 * int numBytesOutput, paddedBits;
68 * buffer->finish( numBytesOutput, paddedBits );
69 * ...
70 * // do something with dataArray
71 * ...
72 * delete buffer;
73 * delete dataArray;
74 *
