<h4 class="subsection">8.4.3 Bit Maps and Masks</h4>
<p><samp>str2mask.tpl</samp>
</p>
<p>This template leverages highly off of enumerations (see <a href="enums.html#enums">enums</a>). It will
produce a header file with bit masks defined for each bit specified with a
<code>cmd</code> attribute. 63 is the highest legal bit number because this
template has not been extended to cope with multiple word masks. (Patches
would be welcome.)
</p>
<p>There are a few constraints on the names allowed:
</p>
<ul>
<li> names are constrained to alphanumerics and the underscore
</li><li> aliases are not allowed
</li><li> dispatch procedures are not allowed
</li></ul>
<p><code>no-code</code> and <code>no-name</code> are honored. <code>dispatch</code> is not. The
lookup function will examine each token in an input string, determine which
bit is specified and add it into a result. The names may be prefixed with a
hyphen (<tt>-</tt>) or tilde (<tt>~</tt>) to remove the bit(s) from the cumulative
result. If the string begins with a plus (<tt>+</tt>), hyphen or tilde, a “base
value” parameter is used for the starting mask, otherwise the conversion
starts with zero.
</p>
<p>Beyond the enumeration attributes that are used (or ignored), the
<samp>str2mask</samp> template accepts a <code>mask</code> attribute. It takes a few
“subattributes”:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt>‘<samp>m-name</samp>’</dt>
<dd><p>a special name for a sub-collection of the mask bits
</p>
</dd>
<dt>‘<samp>m-bit</samp>’</dt>
<dd><p>The name of each previously defined bit(s). If the desired previously
defined value is a mask, that <code>m-name</code> must be suffixed with “<tt>-mask</tt>”.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>‘<samp>m-invert</samp>’</dt>
<dd><p>When all done collecting the bits, x-or the value with the mask
of all the bits in the collection.
</p></dd>
</dl>
<p>A mask of all bits in the collection is always generated.
</p>
