Function Documentation

int pu_addSizeConstraint	(	OSCTXT *	pctxt,
		const Asn1SizeCnst *	pSize
	)

This function is used to add size to a context variable.

Parameters:

	pctxt	A pointer to a context structure. The referenced size constraint is added to this structure for use by a subsequent encode or decode function.
	pSize	A pointer to the size constraint to add the context variable.

Returns:

Completion status of operation:

• 0 (0) = success,
• negative return value is error.

void pu_bindump	(	OSCTXT *	pctxt,
		const char *	varname
	)

This function provides a detailed binary dump of the contents of the buffer currently specified in the given context. The list of fields dumped by this function was previously built up within the context using calls pu_newField, pu_pushName, and pu_popName. These calls are built into both compiler-generated and low-level PER encode/decode functions to trace the actual bit encoding of a given construct.

Parameters:

	pctxt	A pointer to a context structure. The contents of the encode or decode buffer that was specified in the call to pu_initContext or pu_newContext is dumped.
	varname	The name of the top-level variable name of the structure being dumped.

Referenced by ASN1PERMessageBuffer::binDump().

int pu_checkSizeExt	(	Asn1SizeCnst *	pSizeCnst,
		OSUINT32	value,
		OSBOOL *	pExtendable,
		Asn1SizeValueRange *	pSizeRange,
		OSBOOL *	pExtSize
	)

This function checks if the given value falls within the root or extension part of the given size constraint.

Parameters:

	pSizeCnst	A pointer to a size constraint structure.
	value	The value to be checked.
	pExtendable	Pointer to boolean indicating if size constraint is extensible.
	pSizeRange	Size range which value falls within.
	pExtSize	Indicates if the size range is an extension range.

Returns:

Status of the operation. 0 = success or RTERR_CONSVIO if size if not within the constraint bounds.

void pu_freeContext

(

OSCTXT *

pctxt

)

This function releases all dynamicmemeory associated with a context. This function should be called even if the referenced context variable is not dynamic. The reason is because it frees memory allocated within the context as well as the context structure (it will only try to free the context structure if it detects that it was previously allocated using the pu_newContext function).

Parameters:

pctxt

A pointer to a context structure. This provides a storage area for the function to store all working variables that must be maintained between function calls.

const char* pu_GetLibInfo

(

)

Returns information string describing the library. The string contains name of library, its version and flags used for building the library.

Returns:

Information string

int pu_GetLibVersion

(

)

Returns numeric version of run-time library. The format of version is as follows: MmP, where: M - major version number; m - minor version number; p - patch release number. For example, the value 581 means the version 5.81.

Returns:

Version of run-time library in numeric format.

size_t pu_getMsgLen

(

OSCTXT *

pctxt

)

This function will return the number of bytes in a PER message. This function is called after a complier generated encode function is called to get the byte count of the encoded component.

Parameters:

pctxt

A pointer to a context structure. This provides a storage area for the function to store all working variables that must be maintained between function calls.

See also:

pu_getMsgLenBits

Returns:

Length (in bytes) of encoded message content.

Referenced by ASN1PERMessageBuffer::getMsgLen().

size_t pu_getMsgLenBits

(

OSCTXT *

pctxt

)

This function will return the number of bits in a PER message. This function is called after a complier generated encode function is called to get the bit count of the encoded component.

Parameters:

pctxt

A pointer to a context structure. This provides a storage area for the function to store all working variables that must be maintained between function calls.

See also:

pu_getMsgLen

Returns:

Length (in bits) of encoded message content.

void pu_hexdump

(

OSCTXT *

pctxt

)

This function provides a standard hesadecimal dump of the contents of the buffer currently specified in the given context.

Parameters:

pctxt

Pointer to a context structure. The contents of the encode or decode buffer that was specified in the call to pu_initContext or pu_newContext is dumped.

Referenced by ASN1PERMessageBuffer::hexDump().

int pu_initContext	(	OSCTXT *	pctxt,
		OSOCTET *	bufaddr,
		OSUINT32	bufsiz,
		OSBOOL	aligned
	)

This function is used to initialize a pre-allocated OSCTXT structure. This can be an OSCTXT variable declared on the stack or a pointer to an OSCTXT structure that was previously allocated. This function sets all internal variables within the structure to their initial values.

Parameters:

	pctxt	A pointer to a context structure. This provides a storage area for the function to store all working variables that must be maintained between function calls.
	bufaddr	For encoding, this is the address of a buffer to receive the encoded PER message (note: this is optional, if specified to NULL a dynamic buffer will be allocated). For decoding, this is that address of the buffer that contains the PER message to be decoded.
	bufsiz	For encoding, this is the size of the encoded buffer (note: this is optional, if the bufaddr arguement is specified to NULL, then dynamic encoding is in effect and the buffer size is indefinite). For decoding, this is the length (in octets) of the PER message to be decoded.
	aligned	A Boolean value specifying whether aligned or unaligned encoding should be performed.

Returns:

Completion status of operation:

• 0 (0) = success,
• negative return value is error.

int pu_initContextBuffer	(	OSCTXT *	pTarget,
		OSCTXT *	pSource
	)

This function is used to initialize the buffer of an OSCTXT structure with buffer data from a second context structure. This function copies the buffer information from the source context buffer to the destination structure. The non-buffer related fields in the context remain untouched.

Parameters:

	pTarget	A pointer to the target context structure. Buffer information within this structure is updated with data from the source context.
	pSource	A pointer to the source context structure. Buffer information from the source context structure is copied to the target structure.

Returns:

Completion status of operation:

• 0 (0) = success,
• negative return value is error.

void pu_initFieldList	(	OSCTXT *	pctxt,
		OSINT16	bitOffset
	)

This function initializes a new bit field list for diagnostics tracing. It is now deprecated and has been replaced by function pu_initRtxDiagBitFieldList which works with the common context bit tracing list structure rather than the ASN.1 PER-specific list.

Parameters:

	pctxt	A pointer to a context structure.
	bitOffset	Current bit offset.

void pu_initRtxDiagBitFieldList	(	OSCTXT *	pctxt,
		OSINT16	bitOffset
	)

This function initializes a new bit field list for diagnostics tracing. It is used in code to encode or decode table-constrained open type data to break down the patterns within the containers.

Parameters:

	pctxt	A pointer to a context structure.
	bitOffset	Current bit offset.

void pu_insLenField

(

OSCTXT *

pctxt

)

Parameters:

pctxt

A pointer to a context structure. This provides a storage area for the function to store all working variables that must be maintained between function calls.

OSBOOL pu_isFixedSize

(

const Asn1SizeCnst *

pSizeList

)

This function determines if a size constraint is fixed (i.e allows only one value such as SIZE (2))

Parameters:

pSizeList

A pointer to a size constraint structure.

Returns:

TRUE if size constraint is fixed.

OSCTXT* pu_newContext	(	OSOCTET *	bufaddr,
		OSUINT32	bufsiz,
		OSBOOL	aligned
	)

This function is similar to the pu_initContext function in that it initializes a context variable. The difference is that this function allocates a new structure and then initializes it. It is equivalent to calling malloc to allocate a context structure and then calling pu_initContext to initialize it.

Parameters:

	bufaddr	For encoding, this is the address of a buffer to receive the encoded PER message (note: this is optional, if specified as NULL a dynamic buffer will be allocated). For decoding, this is that address of the buffer that contains the PER message to be decoded.
	bufsiz	For encoding, this is the size of the encoded buffer (note: this is optional, if the bufaddr argument is specified to NULL, then dynamic encoding is in effect and the buffer size is indefinite). For decoding, this is the length (in octets) of the PER message to be decoded.
	aligned	A Boolean value specifying whether aligned or unaligned encoding should be performed.

Returns:

A pointer to OSCTXT structure to receive the allocated structure. NULL is returned if any error occurs in allocating or initializing the context.

PERField* pu_newField	(	OSCTXT *	pctxt,
		const char *	nameSuffix
	)

This function creates a new bit field in a diagnostics bit trace field list. It is now deprecated and has been replaced by the common function rtxDiagNewBitField.

	pctxt	A pointer to a context structure.
	nameSuffix	Suffix to be append to current element name.

void pu_popName

(

OSCTXT *

pctxt

)

Parameters:

pctxt

A pointer to a context structure.

void pu_pushElemName	(	OSCTXT *	pctxt,
		int	idx
	)

Parameters:

	pctxt	A pointer to a context structure.
	idx	The location to insert the element.

void pu_pushName	(	OSCTXT *	pctxt,
