Subject: Remove compatibility methods at BitBufferHelper
X-Git-Url: https://git.opendaylight.org/gerrit/gitweb?a=commitdiff_plain;h=02e0cef5805e5fa5d9259c133b5675917957c9fd;hp=02e0cef5805e5fa5d9259c133b5675917957c9fd;p=l2switch.git

Remove compatibility methods at BitBufferHelper

The BitBufferHelper methods getShort, getInt and getLong return a
short, int and long respectively. They have been replaced with
equivalent methods that return a Uint8, Uint16 or Uint32 types.
The following sections explain these replacements:

1. getShort
Code that required a Uint8 type instead of a short, started using
a new method "getUint8(byte[])". However a method that required to
collect the first N bits, where N is 16>N>8, started using a new
method "getUint16(byte[], int)".

2. getInt
Code that required a Uint16 type instead of an int, started using
a new method "getUint16(byte[])". However methods that required to
test data in 2 bytes, started using the "getUint16(byte[], int)"
method.

3. getLong
Code that required a Uint32 type instead of a long, started using
a new method "getUint32(byte[])".
