Clash.Annotations.BitRepresentation

Description

Using ANN pragma's you can tell the Clash compiler to use a custom bit representation for a data type. See DataReprAnn for documentation.

Synopsis

Data structures to express a custom bit representation

data DataReprAnn Source #

Annotation for custom bit representations of data types

Using ANN pragma's you can tell the Clash compiler to use a custom bit-representation for a data type.

For example:

data Color = R | G | B
{-# ANN module (DataReprAnn
                  $(liftQ [t|Color|])
                  2
                  [ ConstrRepr 'R 0b11 0b00 []
                  , ConstrRepr 'G 0b11 0b01 []
                  , ConstrRepr 'B 0b11 0b10 []
                  ]) #-}

This specifies that R should be encoded as 0b00, G as 0b01, and B as 0b10. The first binary value in every ConstrRepr in this example is a mask, indicating which bits in the data type are relevant. In this case all of the bits are.

Or if we want to annotate Maybe Color:

{-# ANN module ( DataReprAnn
                   $(liftQ [t|Maybe Color|])
                   2
                   [ ConstrRepr 'Nothing 0b11 0b11 []
                   , ConstrRepr 'Just 0b00 0b00 [0b11]
                   ] ) #-}

By default, Maybe Color is a data type which consumes 3 bits. A single bit to indicate the constructor (either Just or Nothing), and two bits to encode the first field of Just. Notice that we saved a single bit by exploiting the fact that Color only uses three values (0, 1, 2), but takes two bits to encode it. We can therefore use the last - unused - value (3), to encode one of the constructors of Maybe. We indicate which bits encode the underlying Color field of Just by passing [0b11] to ConstrRepr. This indicates that the first field is encoded in the first and second bit of the whole datatype (0b11).

NB: BitPack for a custom encoding can be derived using deriveBitPack.
