Method Deserialize

bitarray/encoding.go:200–234

Deserialize takes the incoming byte slice, and populates the bitArray with data in the bytes. Note that this will overwrite any capacity specified when creating the bitArray. Also note that if an error is returned, the bitArray this is called on might be populated with partial data.

(incoming []byte)

// specified when creating the bitArray. Also note that if an error is returned,
// the bitArray this is called on might be populated with partial data.
func (ret *bitArray) Deserialize(incoming []byte) error {
	r := bytes.NewReader(incoming[1:]) // Discard identifier

	err := binary.Read(r, binary.LittleEndian, &ret.lowest)
	if err != nil {
		return err
	}

	err = binary.Read(r, binary.LittleEndian, &ret.highest)
	if err != nil {
		return err
	}

	var encodedanyset uint8
	err = binary.Read(r, binary.LittleEndian, &encodedanyset)
	if err != nil {
		return err
	}

	// anyset defaults to false so we don't need an else statement
	if encodedanyset == 1 {
		ret.anyset = true
	}

	var nextblock block
	err = binary.Read(r, binary.LittleEndian, &nextblock)
	for err == nil {
		ret.blocks = append(ret.blocks, nextblock)
		err = binary.Read(r, binary.LittleEndian, &nextblock)
