This software package is an addition to Go4 https://github.com/gsi-ee/go4 which helps unpack event-wise experimental data. The package provides streamlined access to various data members, can perform strong bit-wise checks on each unpacked word.
Inspiration for this project comes from Ucesb http://fy.chalmers.se/~f96hajo/ucesb project, which majority of the grammar and nomenclature is derived from.
Every Go4 project starts with the unpack stage where the users are given two interfaces
to expand upon: TGo4EventElement and TGo4EventProcessor.
Users are then meant to implement their Clear() and BuildEvent() methods respectively,
by carefully examining the data structure, matching on certain LMD event/subevent headers,
detangling payloads from words and sorting them accordingly.
Over time, this accumulates into thousands of lines of overheaded code which can be streamlined into custom structures using a specifically built parser.
Parspecc declares structures in a separate, .spec file which the lexer and parser examine and
convert into C++ classes. Parsed classes can, and generally will, compose other class instances,
with the main structures being derived from EVENT(...) {} blocks, and shall be singletons as a field
members in the TGo4EventElement declaration.
The lexer and parser are written by using the extensive macro system of Rust programming language.
