Just looking at this function:
correlate_access_code_bb
In the method set_access_code, it takes a string. Which should be ASCII '1'
and '0' characters to represent the binary sequence being
correlated against.
Here's a little beauty of a code snippet:
d_access_code = 0;
for (unsigned i=0; i< 64; i++){
d_access_code<<= 1;
if (i< len)
d_access_code |= access_code[i]& 1; // look at LSB only
}
This relies on the fact that ASCII '1' and '0' happen to have low-order bits
of the right "flavour". This is insanely dirty and gross and I can't
believe we let this nonsense in the code base.
There's no reason not to do the right thing here.
