DDSXTY_ — Inconsistent bit set/integer equivalency

  • Key: DDSXTY_-14
  • Legacy Issue Number: 16365
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Real-Time Innovations ( Mr. Alejandro Campos)
  • Summary:

    A bit set with bit bound <= 8 is mapped to a byte in some places (page 78 and 40) and to an unsigned short in others (page 88). (Page numbers refer to beta 2.)

    Proposed Resolution:

    A bit set with bit bound <= 8 should be serialized as a single byte.

    Proposed Revised Text:

    In the table in section 7.5.1.2.2, BitSet Types, replace these rows:

    Bit Set Bound
    Unsigned Integer Equivalent

    1–16
    unsigned short

    …with the following:

    Bit Set Bound
    Primitive Equivalent

    1–8
    octet

    9–16
    unsigned short
