I am trying to encode large data structs into binary. I have specified number of bits for each struct element. So I need to encode struct into binary according to bit length. Standard Golang library Encoding/binary packs each item minimum as one byte. Therefore I need another solution. How can I encode struct elements as specified bit number in Go?
For example; Item1 = 00001101 Item2 = 00000110 Result will be as 01101110
type Elements struct{
Item1 uint8 // number of bits = 5
Item2 uint8 // number of bits = 3
Item3 uint8 // number of bits = 2
Item4 uint64 // number of bits = 60
Item5 uint16 // number of bits = 11
Item6 []byte // bit length = 8
Item7 Others
}
type Others struct{
Other1 uint8 // number of bits = 4
Other2 uint32 // number of bits = 21
Other3 uint16 // number of bits = 9
}
