It was thus said that the Great Soni L. once stated:
Any reason why string.(un)pack can't do bitfields?
Performance reasons?
But that aside, what would the spefication string look like to pull bits
out?
-spc (Also, maybe it didn't cross Roberto's mind to do so?)
Fn? Dn? e.g. D3D3D2 (or replace D with F) would be 8 bits composed of 3,
3, 2 bits, DX[n] would be a padding modifier?
I guess I'll just have to wait for Roberto...
(We also can't do booleans either - would make things easier when you
have a long format string as you wouldn't have to add a bunch of "var =
var != 0" everywhere slowing your code down)
