Bidimensional Array Parser: SPEC.md

Usage

This is not a standalone program. It is a C parsing function meant to be integrated into your project.

Do not compile it as a separate executable.

Instead, include the source file in your build system (Makefile / CMake / manual compilation) and call the function directly.

Example Integration

#include "bda.h"

int main() {
    bda_descriptor bda;

    // input buffer containing your encoded 2D array
    uint8_t input[] = "0x1,0x2;0x3,0x4;";

    uint64_t output[4];

    bda.x = 2;
    bda.y = 2;
    bda.n = 4;
    bda.src = (uint64_t)input;
    bda.dest = (uint64_t)output;

    bda_parse(&bda);

    return 0;
}

What this library does

Parses a text-encoded 2D array into a contiguous memory buffer. Supports:

• Decimal numbers
• Hexadecimal
• Negative decimals
• C style block comment (only the /**/ kind)
• Row/column delimiters using , and ;

Important note

This module assumes the caller manages memory for dest. No allocation is performed internally.
