Flag Field And Flag Macros

Macros defining and handling flag fields and flags implemented as enumerators.

The advantage of these macros over bit field declarations is that they are less implementation dependent regarding the placement of bits within a scalar type. Nevertheless beware of the dependency on the endianness of the architecture used. To neutralize that dependency use the endianness macros __BYTE_ORDER, __LITTLE_ENDIAN and __BIG_ENDIAN.

Example:
      typedef enum
      {
          StmDeclareFlag (Disabled, 0),
          StmDeclareFlag (Conditional, DisabledEnd),
          StmDeclareFlagField (ImageFormat, ConditionalEnd, 2),
          ImageFormatUnknown   =  0,
          ImageFileMissing     =  1,
          ImageFormatPortrait  =  2,
          ImageFormatLandscape =  3,
          StmDeclareFlag (PlaylistItem, ImageFormatEnd)
      }
      Flags;

      unsigned int flags = 0;
      StmSetFlag (flags, PlaylistItem, StmTrue);
      StmSetFlagField (flags, ImageFormat, ImageFormatPortrait);
          ...
      if (!StmGetFlag (flags, Disabled) &&
          StmGetFlagField (flags, ImageFormat) != ImageFormatLandscape)
      {
          ...
      }


#define StmDeclareFlagField(name, beginBit, bitLength)
 Declares enumerators for a flag field named name with begin bit beginBit and bit length bitLength.
#define StmGetFlagField(variable, name)   (((variable) & name) >> name##Begin)
 Gets the value of the flag field name of variable.
#define StmSetFlagField(variable, name, value)
 Sets the the flag field name of variable to value.
#define StmDeclareFlag(name, beginBit)   StmDeclareFlagField (name, beginBit, 1)
 Declares enumerators for a flag named name with begin bit beginBit.
#define StmGetFlag(variable, name)   (StmGetFlagField (variable, name))
 Gets the value of the flag name of variable.
#define StmSetFlag(variable, name, value)   StmSetFlagField (variable, name, (value))
