0.2 2009-08-12
- added support for signed numbers that mirrors perl's
- fixed native endian selection bug
- added w (BER: Binary Encoded Representation)
- added X (backup) in pack
- added support for <> modifiers
on native endian directives (sSiIlLqQdf)
they can be forced to big or small endian with < > modifiers
- added support for ! modifier
on nNvV it turns them to signed integers
- added . and @ support to pack
- added full group support to pack and unpack
- fixed string types to accept numbers and cast them to strings on the fly (ala perl)
- added / template to pack and unpack
- added more test cases to cover all the new additions and bug fixes
- Setup a git repository at git.mindstab.net/git/cl-pack
0.1.1 2009-07-04
simple speed increase and code reduction improvements suggested by Zach
0.1 2009-06-16

CL-PACK supplies Perl/PHP/Ruby/Python compatible pack() and unpack() functions to allow easy use of *(binary format) protocols and files with the above mentioned languages and C. CL-PACK was released by Dan Ballard under the BSD license. cl-pack supplies Perl/PHP/Ruby/Python compatible `pack()` and `unpack()` functions to allow easy use of (binary format) protocols and files with the above mentioned languages and C. cl-pack was released by Dan Ballard under the BSD-3-Clause license.
The purpose of cl-pack is to take native Lisp data like numbers, floats, and strings and encode it in a safe binary format in string that can then be written to a file or exchanged with another program while unpack can extract data from binary formats and protocols. The purpose of cl-pack is to take native Lisp data like numbers, floats, and strings and encode it in a safe binary format in string that can then be written to a file or exchanged with another program while unpack can extract data from binary formats and protocols.
cl-pack has nearly full support for all features offered by perl's pack. It boasts full support for most data types and formating rules from numbers and string to formating rules and grouping and templates. cl-pack also supports endian safe floats as outlined by ruby. cl-pack is supports ASDF so as to make it easy to integrate into your existing system. cl-pack has nearly full support for all features offered by Perl's pack.

**Documentation** is currently a bit sparse, but is contained in cl-pack.lisp.

Nearly every feature except a few esoteric ones are supported, check the documentation inside cl-pack.lisp if in doubt and if a feature you need isn't currently supported feel free to contact me and I'll see if I can add it.

Note: I think the 0.2 release is about as feature complete as I feel I need to get at the moment so I'm pushing it out. If there are not major complaints, then in a bit it will be rereleased as 1.0, and if there are complaints, well more code and another pre 1.0 release :) **Note** I think the 0.2 release is about as feature complete as I feel I need to get at the moment so I'm pushing it out.

**Cavets:** cl-pack was developed on an x86 running Ubuntu with SBCL. It should be endian safe where required and conform to host CPU endianness where required but I haven't been able to test on anything but x86. I would hope that it would work with most Lisps out there. Please feel free to get ahold of me if you have issues that need fixing. **Cavets** cl-pack was developed on an x86 running Ubuntu with SBCL.

<h1>IEEE Floats</h1>
</div>
<p>IEEE-Floats provides a way of converting values of type
<tt>float</tt> and <tt>double-float</tt> to and from their binary
representation as defined by IEEE 754 (which is commonly used by
processors and network protocols).</p>
<p>The library defines encoding and decoding functions for the common
32-bit and 64-bit formats, and a macro for defining similar functions
for other formats. The default functions do not detect the special
cases for NaN or infinity, but functions can be generated which do, in
which case the keywords <tt>:not-a-number</tt>,
<tt>:positive-infinity</tt>, and <tt>:negative-infinity</tt> are used
to represent them.</p>

;; The following macro may look a bit overcomplicated to the casual
;; reader. The main culprit is the fact that NaN and infinity can be
;; optionally included, which adds a bunch of conditional parts.
;;
;; Assuming you already know more or less how floating point numbers
;; are typically represented, I'll try to elaborate a bit on the more
;; confusing parts, as marked by letters:
;;
;; (A) Exponents in IEEE floats are offset by half their range, for
;; example with 8 exponent bits a number with exponent 2 has 129
;; stored in its exponent field.
;;
;; (B) The maximum possible exponent is reserved for special cases
;; (NaN, infinity).
;;
;; (C) If the exponent fits in the exponent-bits, we have to adjust
;; the significand for the hidden bit. Because decode-float will
;; return a significand between 0 and 1, and we want one between 1
;; and 2 to be able to hide the hidden bit, we double it and then
;; subtract one (the hidden bit) before converting it to integer
;; representation (to adjust for this, 1 is subtracted from the
;; exponent earlier). When the exponent is too small, we set it to
;; zero (meaning no hidden bit, exponent of 1), and adjust the
;; significand downward to compensate for this.
;;
;; (D) Here the hidden bit is added. When the exponent is 0, there is
;; no hidden bit, and the exponent is interpreted as 1.
;;
;; (E) Here the exponent offset is subtracted, but also an extra
;; factor to account for the fact that the bits stored in the
;; significand are supposed to come after the 'decimal dot'.
