C macros for reading PostScript binary object format

Show all headers | View raw

As part of TeXnicard, I wrote a set of C macros to read the PostScript
binary object format. I am also including a copy of them here. TeXnicard
is in the public domain, so you can use this for whatever you want to do.

#define TY_NULL 0
#define TY_INT 1
#define TY_REAL 2
#define TY_NAME 3
#define TY_BOOL 4
#define TY_STRING 5
#define TY_ARRAY 9
#define TY_MARK 10

#define obj_float(x) ({ int x__=(x); int t_=obj_type(x__); t_==TY_INT?(float)obj_rawvalue(x__):t_==TY_REAL?obj_ufloat(x__):0; })
#define obj_index(x,y) (obj_rawvalue(x)+(y)*8)
#define obj_int(x) ({ int x__=(x); int t_=obj_type(x__); t_==TY_INT||t_==TY_BOOL?obj_rawvalue(x__):t_==TY_REAL?(int)obj_ufloat(x__):0; })
#define obj_int64(x) ({ int x__=(x); int t_=obj_type(x__); t_==TY_INT||t_==TY_BOOL?obj_rawvalue(x__):t_==TY_REAL?(sqlite3_int64)obj_ufloat(x__):0; })
#define obj_isnum(x) ({ int x__=(x); obj_type(x__)==TY_INT || obj_type(x__)==TY_REAL; })
#define obj_length(x) ({ int x__=(x); (object[x__+2]<<8)|object[x__+3]; })
#define obj_ptr(x) (object+obj_rawvalue(x))
#define obj_rawvalue(x) ({ int y__=(x); (int)((object[y__+4]<<24)|(object[y__+5]<<16)|(object[y__+6]<<8)|object[y__+7]); })
#define obj_tag() (object[1])
#define obj_type(x) (object[x]&127)
#define obj_ufloat(x) ({ union { int i; float f; } f__; f__.i=obj_rawvalue(x); f__.f; }) // see psi/ibnum.h in Ghostscript for an explanation of this bug

You can read the header of the PostScript binary object data to find the
total size of the data; the pointer "object" is of type "unsigned char*"
and points to just after the header.

Note that the above uses "sqlite3_int64" as the 64-bit integer type. If
your program does not use SQLite, then you must change this.

This signature intentionally left blank.
(But if it has these words, then actually it isn't blank, isn't it?)
