% \begin{abstract}
%   The |bitpattern| package is designed to typeset bit patterns as
%   they may appear in description of data format, hardware registers
%   or transmission protocols.  It covers thus more or less the same
%   application domain as the package |register| and is somewhat
%   related to |bytefield|.
%   
%   Comparared to |register| the formating is more compact, the
%   syntax less verbose and |bitpattern| allows to choose between big
%   endian and little endian bit numbering.  But |bitpattern| is less
%   well adapted to the use of long names for the fields and has no
%   provision for a reset value. |bytefield| is more adequate to
%   describe multi-word protocols, while |bitpattern| is more adapted
%   to describe the intra-word structure of a single word.

% \section{Examples}
%
% We'll the instruction formats of two processors to describe the
% features of |bitpattern|, the DEC PDP-10 and the Intel 8080.
%
% The PDP-10 was a word-adressable 36-bit computer, something quite
% strange to our eyes (it's most familiar feature is probably the
% fact that it uses 2's complement) and the reason for which I've
% chosen it is that it was the computer on which \TeX{} was first
% implemented.
%
% The PDP-10 has two instruction formats, one used for most of the
% instructions:
%
% \noindent\bitpattern{Op}[9]{AC}[4]IX[4]Y[18]/
%
% \noindent and the other used for IO instructions:
%
% \noindent\bitpattern[numberBitsBelow]{111}[3]{Dev}[7]{IOP}[3]IX[4]Y[18]/
%
% As well at putting the bit numbers above or below the field
% description, |bitpattern| allows to number all the bits:
%
% \noindent\bitpattern[numberAllBits]{Op}[9]{AC}[4]IX[4]Y[18]/
%
% \noindent or only at the start and end of a field:
%
% \noindent\bitpattern[numberBitsBelow,numberFieldsTwice]{111}[3]{Dev}[7]{IOP}[3]IX[4]Y[18]/
%
% Having a long field like \emph{Y} here may take more place than
% wanted.  |bitpattern| allows to reduce that:
%
% \noindent\bitpattern{Op}[9]{AC}[4]IX[4]Y[18][9]/
%
% Other ways to avoid overstepping in the margin include splitting
% the pattern in two:
%
% \noindent\bitpattern[bitWidth=1.5em,numberAllBits]{Op}[9]{AC}[4]IX[4]/ \\
% \hspace*{1pt plus 1filll}\bitpattern[numberBitsBelow,startBit=18,bitWidth=1.5em,numberAllBits] Y[18]/
%
% \noindent and reducing the width of the cells:
%
% {\centering\bitpattern[bitWidth=0.8em]{Op}[9]{AC}[4]IX[4]Y[18]/ \par}
%
% The PDP-10 numbered its bits in the big endian way.  That's not the
% case of the Intel 8080. The 8080 was an 8-bit computer.  Trying to
% pack instructions in 8-bit forces to use a lot of formats.  One of
% them was used for the move instruction, and let's take that
% opportunity to start and compact the layout of the bit field by
% changing the format of the bit numbers and the field descriptions:
%
% \renewcommand\bpFormatBitNumber[1]{{\tiny\ttfamily\emph{\strut#1}}}
% \renewcommand\bpFormatField[1]{{\scriptsize\ttfamily\strut#1}}
% {\centering\bitpattern[littleEndian,startBit=7,numberBitsBelow]{01}[2]{D}[3]{S}[3]/\par}
%
%
% \bpSetTickHeight{1pt}
% \newlength{\bpDocExampleHeight}
% \settoheight{\bpDocExampleHeight}{{\scriptsize\ttfamily 0}}
% \newcommand{\bpDocExampleStrut}{\rule{0pt}{\bpDocExampleHeight}}
% \renewcommand\bpFormatField[1]{{\scriptsize\ttfamily\bpDocExampleStrut #1}}
%
% After that it is possible to still be more compact by removing the
% numbers, reducing the height of the ticks and avoiding the provide
% the space for ascender and descenders in the field name (obviously
% that is possible only with convenient field names).  When that's
% done, you can put a bit pattern in a paragraph without disturbing
% it too much, like this
% \bitpattern[noBitNumbers,littleEndian,startBit=7]{01}[2]{D}[3]{S}[3]/.
% With some text afterwards to see how the next line is handled.  The
% result seems quite readable, remark for instance that the baseline
% of the field description is aligned with the baseline of the line
% in which it is included.
%
% \section{Interface}
%
% \subsection{\cmd{\bitpattern}}
% 
% \DescribeMacro{\bitpattern} The |\bitpattern| macro is the macro
% which formats the patterns.
%
% \begin{quote}
% \cmd{\bitpattern}\oarg{format}\marg{name}\oarg{size}\oarg{width}\dots\verb+/+
% \end{quote}
%
% The first optional argument allows to control how the formatting is
% made and is the combination of the following keys:
% \begin{description}
% \item[littleEndian] indicates that bit numbering is little endian,
%   that is the leftward bit has the biggest number;
% \item[bigEndian] indicates that bit numbering is big endian, that
%   is the leftward bit has the lowest number;
% \item[numberBitsAbove] indicates that the bit numbers should be put
%   above the fields;
% \item[numberBitsBelow] indicates that the bit numbers should be put
%   below the fields;
% \item[noBitNumbers] indicates that there should be no bit numbers;
% \item[numberFieldsOnce] indicates that the fields should have
%   only one bit number;
% \item[numberFieldsTwice] indicates that the fields should have
%   two bit numbers;
% \item[numberAllBits] indicates that the fields shouldn't have a bit
%   number indication;
% \item[startBit=X] indicates that the number for the leftmost bit
%   should be $X$;
% \item[bitWidth=dimen] indicates that the size taken by a bit should
%   be \emph{dimen};
% \item[tickHeight=dimen] indicates that the size taken by the small
%   ticks marking the bits should be \emph{dimen}.
% \end{description}
%
% After the optional argument comes the description of the
% fields. Each field is described by its name as a mandatory argument
% (which does not have to be included in braces if it takes one
% character) followed by two optional arguments giving the size of
% the field (1 if omitted) and the width it should take (the same as
% its size if it is not specified).
% 
% Field descriptions are ended by a \verb+/+.
%
% \subsection{Package options}
%
% The package |bitpattern| accept the following options which set up
% the default values for the formatting controls:
% \begin{description}
% \item[littleEndian] indicates that the default for bit numbering is
%   little endian, that is the leftward bit has the biggest number;
% \item[bigEndian] indicates that the default for bit numbering is
%   big endian, that is the leftward bit has the lowest number;
% \item[numberBitsAbove] indicates that by default the bit numbers
%   should be put above the fields;
% \item[numberBitsBelow] indicates that by default the bit numbers
%   should be put below the fields;
% \item[noBitNumbers] indicates that by default there should be no
%   bit numbers;
% \item[numberFieldsOnce] indicates that by default the fields
%   should have only one bit number;
% \item[numberFieldsTwice] indicates that by default the fields
%   should have two bit numbers;
% \item[numberAllBits] indicates that by default the fields shouldn't
%   have a bit number indication.
% \end{description}
%
% \subsection{Commands controlling the format}
%
% \DescribeMacro{\bpLittleEndian} |\bpLittleEndian| changes the
% default bit numbering to little endian.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\bpBigEndian} |\bpBigEndian| changes the default bit
% numbering to little endian.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\bpNumberBitsAbove} |\bpNumberBitsAbove| changes the
% default to having the numbering above the fields.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\bpNumberBitsBelow} |\bpNumberBitsBelow| changes the
% default to having the numbering below the fields.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\bpNoBitNumbers} |\bpNoBitNumbers| changes the
% default to having no numbering.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\bpNumberFieldsOnce} |\bpNumberFieldsOnce| changes the
% default to having the numbering done once per field.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\bpNumberFieldsTwice} |\bpNumberFieldsTwice| changes
% the default to having the numbering done twice per field.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\bpNumberAllBits} |\bpNumberAllBits| changes the
% default to having the numbering done for all bits of a field.
%
% \begin{quote}
% \cmd{\bpStartAtBit}\marg{number}
% \end{quote}
%
% \DescribeMacro{\bpStartAtBit} |\bpStartAtBit| gives the default bit
% number of the leftmost bit.
%
% \begin{quote}
% \cmd{\bpSetBitWidth}\marg{length}
% \end{quote}
%
% \DescribeMacro{\bpSetBitWidth} |\bpSetBitWidth| gives the default
% bit width
%
% \begin{quote}
% \cmd{\bpSetTickHeight}\marg{length}
% \end{quote}
%
% \DescribeMacro{\bpSetTickHeight} |\bpSetTickHeight| gives the
% default height for the ticks marking the bits in a multi-bit field.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\bpFormatField} |\bpFormatField| is a one argument
% macro used fo format the field.  It can be replaced.  Care should
% be taken to format all the fields with the same height, so putting
% a |\strut| in the replacement is probably in order.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\bpFormatBitNumber} |\bpFormatBitNumber| is a one
% argument macro used fo format the bit numbers.  It can be replaced.
% Care should be taken to format all the bit numbers with the same
% height, so putting a |\strut| in the replacement is perhaps in
% order.

% \section{Implementation}
%
% First let's have a standard preamble and indicates the package we
% requires.
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
\NeedsTeXFormat{LaTeX2e}
\ProvidesPackage{bitpattern}[2015/12/11 bit pattern diagrams]

\RequirePackage{keyval}
\RequirePackage{calc}
\RequirePackage{multido}
%    \end{macrocode}
% Now we'll declare some new |\if| commands which will be set to
% describe the options.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newif\ifbp@NumberBitsAbove
\newif\ifbp@NumberBitsBelow
\newif\ifbp@HasBitNumbers
\newif\ifbp@NumberFieldTwice
\newif\ifbp@NumberAllBits
\newif\ifbp@NumberBitsBigEndian
%    \end{macrocode}
% We need a counter to store the starting bit number.  We are not
% using the \LaTeX{} way because we want to use it locally and not
% globally.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newcount\bp@StartBit
%    \end{macrocode}
% \LaTeX{} length behaves are needed, so use them.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newlength{\bp@BitWidth}
\newlength{\bp@TickHeight}
%    \end{macrocode}
% 
% First the user level macros allowing to change the default.  They
% are easy, the just set the |\if|.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newcommand\bpLittleEndian
{\bp@NumberBitsBigEndianfalse}

\newcommand\bpBigEndian
{\bp@NumberBitsBigEndiantrue}

\newcommand\bpNumberBitsAbove
{\bp@NumberBitsAbovetrue
  \bp@NumberBitsBelowfalse}

\newcommand\bpNumberBitsBelow

%    \end{macrocode}
% 
% About as easy, macros setting the counter and the lengths.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newcommand\bpStartAtBit[1]{\bp@StartBit=#1}
\newcommand\bpSetBitWidth[1]{\setlength{\bp@BitWidth}{#1}}
\newcommand\bpSetTickHeight[1]{\setlength{\bp@TickHeight}{#1}}
%    \end{macrocode}
% 
% Now we set up the keyval handling
%    \begin{macrocode}
\define@key{bitpattern}{littleEndian}[true]{\bpLittleEndian}
\define@key{bitpattern}{bigEndian}[true]{\bpBigEndian}
\define@key{bitpattern}{numberBitsAbove}[true]{\bpNumberBitsAbove}

\define@key{bitpattern}{numberFieldsTwice}[true]{\bpNumberFieldsTwice}
\define@key{bitpattern}{numberAllBits}[true]{\bpNumberAllBits}

\define@key{bitpattern}{startBit}{\bpStartAtBit{#1}}
\define@key{bitpattern}{bitWidth}{\bpSetBitWidth{#1}}
\define@key{bitpattern}{tickSize}{\bpSetTickHeight{#1}}
%    \end{macrocode}
% 
% And we can do the same for the package options.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\DeclareOption{littleEndian}{\bpLittleEndian}
\DeclareOption{bigEndian}{\bpBigEndian}
\DeclareOption{numberBitsAbove}{\bpNumberBitsAbove}
\DeclareOption{numberBitsBelow}{\bpNumberBitsBelow}

\bpSetTickHeight{2pt}
%    \end{macrocode}
% 
% And provide the two formatting commands we are using for the
% numbers and the fields.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\providecommand\bpFormatField[1]{\strut\emph{#1}}

% And an helper to get the rule we want for ticks.
%    \begin{macrocode}
