All Implemented Interfaces:

public class DebugOutputBitStream
extends OutputBitStream

A debugging wrapper for output bit streams.

This class can be used to wrap an output bit stream. The semantics of the resulting write operations is unchanged, but each operation will be logged.

To simplify the output, some operations have a simplified representation. In particular:

|

flush();

->

position();

[

creation;

]

close();

{x}

explicit bits;

{x:b}

minimal binary coding of x with bound b;

{M:x}

write x with coding M; the latter can be U (unary), g (γ), z (ζ), d (δ), G (Golomb), GS (skewed Golomb); when appropriate, x is followed by an extra integer (modulus, etc.).

Constructor Details

DebugOutputBitStream

public DebugOutputBitStream(OutputBitStream obs,
 PrintStream pw)

Creates a new debug output bit stream wrapping a given output bit stream and logging on a given writer.

Parameters:

obs - the output bit stream to wrap.

pw - a print stream that will receive the logging data.

DebugOutputBitStream

public DebugOutputBitStream(OutputBitStream obs)

Creates a new debug output bit stream wrapping a given output bit stream and logging on standard error.

Parameters:

obs - the output bit stream to wrap.

Method Details

flush

public void flush()
           throws IOException

Description copied from class: OutputBitStream

Flushes the bit stream.

This method will align the stream, write the bit buffer, empty the byte buffer and delegate to the OutputStream.flush() method of the underlying output stream.

This method is provided so that users of this class can easily wrap repositionable streams (for instance, file-based streams, which can be repositioned using the underlying FileChannel).

It is guaranteed that after calling this method the underlying stream can be repositioned, and that the next write to the underlying output stream will start with the content of the first write method called afterwards.

Specified by:

flush in interface Flushable

Overrides:

flush in class OutputBitStream

Throws:

IOException

close

public void close()
           throws IOException

Description copied from class: OutputBitStream

Closes the bit stream. All resources associated with the stream are released.

Specified by:

close in interface AutoCloseable

Specified by:

close in interface Closeable

Overrides:

close in class OutputBitStream

Throws:

IOException

writtenBits

public long writtenBits()

Description copied from class: OutputBitStream

Returns the number of bits written to this bit stream.

Overrides:

writtenBits in class OutputBitStream

Returns:

the number of bits written so far.

writtenBits

public void writtenBits(long writtenBits)

Description copied from class: OutputBitStream

Sets the number of bits written to this bit stream.

This method is provided so that, for instance, the user can reset via writtenBits(0) the written-bits count after a OutputBitStream.flush().

Overrides:

writtenBits in class OutputBitStream

Parameters:

writtenBits - the new value for the number of bits written so far.

align

public int align()
          throws IOException

Description copied from class: OutputBitStream

Aligns the stream. After a call to this method, the stream is byte aligned. Zeroes are used to pad it if necessary.

Overrides:

align in class OutputBitStream

Returns:

the number of padding bits.

Throws:

IOException

position

public void position(long position)
              throws IOException

Description copied from class: OutputBitStream

Sets this stream bit position, if it is based on a RepositionableStream or on a FileChannel.

Given an underlying stream that implements RepositionableStream or that can provide a FileChannel via the getChannel() method, a call to this method has the same semantics of a OutputBitStream.flush(), followed by a call to position(position / 8) on the byte stream. Currently there is no clean, working way of supporting out-of-byte-boundary positioning.

Overrides:

position in class OutputBitStream

Parameters:

position - the new position expressed as a bit offset; it must be byte-aligned.

Throws:

IOException
