Shortcut for bitvectors that represent words

Bitvector -- an integer with modular arithmentics.

Overview

A numeric value with the 2-complement binary representation. It is good for representing addresses, offsets and other arithmetic values.

Each value is attributed by a bitwidth and signedness. All arithmetic operations over values are done modulo their widths. It is an error to apply arithmetic operation to values with different widths. Default implementations will raise a an exception, however there exists a family of modules that provide arithmetic operations lifted to an Or_error.t monad. It is suggested to use them, if you know what kind of operands you're expecting.

Clarification on signs

By default, all are numbers represented with bitvectors are considered unsigned. This includes the ordering, e.g., of_int (-1) ~width:32 is greater than of_int 0 ~width:32. If you need to perform a signed operation, you can use the signed operator create a signed word with the same value.

If any operand of a binary operation is signed, then a signed version of an operation is used, i.e., the other operand is upcasted to the signed kind.

Remember to use explicit casts, whenever you really need a signed representation. Examples:

let x = of_int ~-6 ~width:8
let y = to_int x          (* y = 250 *)
let z = to_int (signed x) (* z = ~-6 *)
let zero = of_int 0 ~width:8
let p = x < zero          (* p = false *)
let q = signed x < zero   (* p = true *)

Clarification on size-morphism

Size-monomorphic operations (as opposed to size-polymorphic) expect operands of the same size. When applied to operands of different sizes they either raise exceptions or return an Error variant as the result. All arithmetic operations are size-monomorphic and we provide interface that use either exceptions or Result.t to indicate the outcome.

The comparison operation is size-polymorphic by default and takes the size of the bitvector into account. Bitvectors with equal values but different sizes are unequal. The precise order matches with the order of pairs, where the first constituent is the bitvector value, and the second is its size, for example, the following sequence is in an ascending order:

0x0:1, 0x0:32, 0x0:64, 0x1:1, 0x1:32, 0xD:4, 0xDEADBEEF:32

.

A size-monomorphic interfaced is exposed in a Mono submodule. So if you want a monomorphic map, then just use Mono.Map module. Note, Mono submodule doesn't provide Table, since we cannot guarantee that all keys in a hash-table have equal size. The order functions provided by the Mono module will raise an exception when applied to bitvectors with different sizes.

In the default and Mono orders, if either of two values is signed (see Clarification on signs) then the values will be ordered as 2-complement signed integers.

Another alternative orders are Signed_value_order, Unsigned_value_order, and Literal_order. They will be briefly described below.

Signed_value_order is size-polymoprhic and it simply ignores the sizes of bitvectors and orders them by values, e.g., the following bitvectors are ordered in the Value.Signed order, FF:8; 0:1; 0F:8; FF:32, and 0:1 is equal to 0:32. See Clarification on size-morphism for more details on the signedness of operations. Note, that the size of a word still affects the order since it defines the position of the most significant bit.

Unsigned_value_order ignores the sign and the size of words and compares them by the unsigned order of their values. he following numbers are ordered with the Unsigned_value_order order, 0:1, 1:32, 0F:8 FF:8, and FF:32 is equal to FF:8. Unsigned_value_order is faster than then any previously described order and is useful when the size of the words should be ignored (or is known to be equal and therefore could be ignored).

Literal_order is the fastest order that takes into account all constituents of bitvectors, like if we will treat a bitvector as triple of its value, size, and sign and order bitvectors using the lexicographical order.

Clarification on string representation

As a part of Identifiable interface bitvector provides a pair of complement functions: to_string and of_string, that provides facilities to store bitvector as a human readable string, and to restore it from string. The format of the representation is the following (in EBNF):

repr  = [sign], [base], digit, {digit}, ":", size, [kind]
  sign  = "+" | "-";
base  = "0x" | "0b" | "0o";
size  = dec, {dec};
digit = dec | oct | hex;
dec   = ?decimal digit?;
oct   = ?octal digit?;
hex   = ?hexadecimal digit?;
kind  = u | s

Examples: 0x5D:32s, 0b0101:16u, 5:64, +5:8, +0x5D:16.

If base is omitted base-10 is assumed. If the kind is omitted, then the usigned kind is assumed. The output format is always in a hex representation with a full prefix. .

type t = word

word is an abbreviation to Bitvector.t

Common Interfaces

A bitvector is a value, first of all, so it supports a common set of a value interface: it can be stored, compared, it can be a key in a dictionary, etc. Moreover, being a number it can be compared with zero and applied to a common set of integer operations.

include Regular.Std.Regular.S with type t := t with type comparator_witness = Bitvector.comparator_witness
include Core_kernel.Bin_prot.Binable.S with type t := t
include Bin_prot.Binable.S_only_functions with type t := t
val bin_size_t : t Bin_prot.Size.sizer
val bin_write_t : t Bin_prot.Write.writer
val bin_read_t : t Bin_prot.Read.reader
val __bin_read_t__ : (int -> t) Bin_prot.Read.reader

This function only needs implementation if t exposed to be a polymorphic variant. Despite what the type reads, this does *not* produce a function after reading; instead it takes the constructor tag (int) before reading and reads the rest of the variant t afterwards.

Example:

Or_error.errorf "type %a is not valid for %a"
  Type.str ty Exp.str exp

val min : t -> t -> t
val max : t -> t -> t
val ascending : t -> t -> int

ascending is identical to compare. descending x y = ascending y x. These are intended to be mnemonic when used like List.sort ~compare:ascending and List.sort ~cmp:descending, since they cause the list to be sorted in ascending or descending order, respectively.

val descending : t -> t -> int
val between : t -> low:t -> high:t -> bool

between t ~low ~high means low <= t <= high

val clamp_exn : t -> min:t -> max:t -> t

include Regular.Std.Data.S with type t := t
type info = string * [ `Ver of string ] * string option

name,Ver v,desc information attached to a particular reader or writer.

val version : string

Data representation version. After any change in data representation the version should be increased.

Serializers that are derived from a data representation must have the same version as a version of the data structure, from which it is derived. This kind of serializers can only read and write data of the same version.

Other serializers can actually read and write data independent on its representation version. A serializer, that can't store data of current version simply shouldn't be added to a set of serializers.

It is assumed, that if a reader and a writer has the same name and version, then whatever was written by the writer should be readable by the reader. The round-trip equality is not required, thus it is acceptable if some information is lost.

It is also possible, that a reader and a writer that has the same name are compatible. In that case it is recommended to use semantic versioning.

  • parameter prefix

    defines whether or not a number is prefixed:

    • `auto (default) - a prefix that corresponds to the chosen format is printed if it is necessary to disambiguate a number from a decimal representation;
    • `base - a corresponding prefix is always printed;
    • `none - the prefix is never printed;
    • `this p - the user specified prefix p is always printed;
  • parameter suffix

    defines how the suffix should be printed:

    • `none (default) - the suffix is never printed;
    • `full - a full suffix that denotes size and signedness is printed, e.g., 0xDE:32s is a signed integer modulo 32.
    • `size - only the modulo is printed, e.g., 0xDE:32s is printed as 0xDE:32
  • parameter format

    defines the textual representation format:

    • hex (default) - hexadecimal
    • dec - decimal
    • oct - octal
    • bin - binary (0 and 1).
  • parameter case

    defines the case of hexadecimal letters

val string_of_value : ?hex:bool -> t -> string

string_of_value ?hex x returns a textual representation of the x value, i.e., ignores size and signedness. If hex is true (default), then it is in the hexadecimal representation, otherwise the decimal representation is used. The returned value is not prefixed. No leading zeros are printed. If a value is signed and negative, then a leading negative sign is printed. Hexadecimal letter literals are printed in a lowercase format.

val signed : t -> t

signed t casts t to a signed type, so that any operations applied on t will be signed.

val unsigned : t -> t

unsigned t casts t to an unsigned type, so that any operations applied to it will interpret t as an unsigned word.

val extract : ?hi:int -> ?lo:int -> t -> t Core_kernel.Or_error.t

extract bv ~hi ~lo extracts a subvector from bv, starting from bit hi and ending with lo. Bits are enumerated from right to left (from least significant to most), starting from zero. hi maybe greater than size.

hi defaults to width bv - 1 lo defaults to 0.

Example:

extract (of_int 17 ~width:8) ~hi:4 ~lo:3 will result in a two bit vector consisting of the forth and third bits, i.e., equal to a number 2.

lo and hi should be non-negative numbers. lo must be less then a width bv and hi >= lo.

val (@.) : t -> t -> t

b1 @. b2 is concat b1 b2

val succ : t -> t

succ n returns next value after n. It is not guaranteed that signed (succ n) > signed n

val pred : t -> t

pred n returns a value preceding n.

val nsucc : t -> int -> t

nsucc m n is Fn.apply_n_times ~n succ m, but more efficient.

val npred : t -> int -> t

npred m n is Fn.apply_n_times ~n pred addr, but more efficient.

val (++) : t -> int -> t

a ++ n is nsucc a n

val (--) : t -> int -> t

a -- n is npred a n

val gcd : t -> t -> t Core_kernel.Or_error.t

gcd x y is the greatest common divisor of x and y in the integers. Note that this is not always the greatest common divisor in the bitvectors of fixed length. For example, in the 32-bit unsigned integers, 2 = 2 + 2^32 = 2(1 + 2^31). Thus, 1 + 2^31 is a divisor of 2, even though gcd 2 2 = 2. Two properties that still hold are: 1. Both x and y are multiples of gcd x y, and 2. gcd x y <= min (abs x) (abs y)

val lcm : t -> t -> t Core_kernel.Or_error.t

lcm x y is the least common multiple of x and y in the integers. Note that, like gcd x y, this is not always the least common multiple of x and y in the fixed- length bitvectors. See the gcd documentation for an example. The result of this function will always be some common multiple of the inputs, even in the fixed-width bitvectors.

val gcdext : t -> t -> (t * t * t) Core_kernel.Or_error.t

gcdext x y returns (g, s, t) where g = gcd x y and g = s*x + t*y. See the documentation for gcd x y for why this function is tricky to use.

val gcd_exn : t -> t -> t

gcd_exn x y is the same as gcd, but will raise an exception on error.

val lcm_exn : t -> t -> t

lcm_exn x y is the same as lcm, but will raise an exception on error.

val gcdext_exn : t -> t -> t * t * t

gcdext_exn x y is the same as gcdext, but will raise an exception on error.

Iteration over bitvector components

val enum_bytes : t -> endian -> t seq

enum_bytes x order returns a sequence of bytes of x in a specified order. Each byte is represented as a bitvector itself.

val enum_chars : t -> endian -> char seq

enum_bytes x order returns bytes of x in a specified order, with bytes represented by char type

val enum_bits : t -> endian -> bool seq

enum_bits x order returns bits of x in a specified order. order defines only the ordering of words in a bitvector, bits will always be in MSB first order. The length of the sequence is always a power of 8.

Comparison with zero

Note, we're not including With_zero interface, since it refers to the `Sign` module, that is available only in core_kernel >= 113.33.00.

val validate_positive : t Core_kernel.Validate.check

validate_positive validates that a value is positive.

val validate_non_negative : t Core_kernel.Validate.check

validate_non_negative validates that a value is non negative.

val validate_negative : t Core_kernel.Validate.check

validate_negative validates that a value is negative.

val validate_non_positive : t Core_kernel.Validate.check

validate_non_positive validates that a value is not positive.

val is_positive : t -> bool

is_positive x is true if x is greater than zero. Always true if x is unsigned.

val is_non_negative : t -> bool

is_non_negative x is true if x is greater than or equal to zero. Tautology if x is unsigned.

val is_negative : t -> bool

is_negative x is true if x is strictly less than zero. It is a contradiction if x is not signed.

val is_non_positive : t -> bool

is_non_positive x is true if x is less than zero. It is a contradiction if x is not signed.

module Int_err : sig ... end
module Int_exn : Integer.S with type t = t

Arithmetic that raises exceptions.

module Unsafe : Integer.S with type t = t

Arithmetic operations that doesn't check the widths.

module Stable : sig ... end

Stable marshaling interface.

module Trie : sig ... end

Prefix trees for bitvectors.
