Hello DFDL community,
Are the following statements correct and complete?
When is an element not affected by dfdl:bitOrder?
* An element is not affected by bitOrder only if both of these conditions
are satisfied:
* Parsing for the element begins at a byte boundary in the input file.
* The element declares that is wants to gobble up (consume) an integral
number of bytes.
When is an element affected by dfdl:bitOrder?
* An element is affected by bitOrder if either of these conditions are
satisfied:
* Parsing for the element begins at a non-byte boundary in the input
file.
* Parsing for the element begins at a byte boundary in the input file
and the element declares that it wants to gobble up (consume) a number of bits
that is not an integral of 8.
When does dfdl:byteOrder affect dfdl:bitOrder?
* An element that is affected by bitOrder is also affected by byteOrder if
either of these conditions are satisfied:
* The number of bits to be consumed is greater than or equal to 8.
* The element declaration requests a number of bits that cannot be
satisfied by the current byte; bits from the next byte must also be consumed.
