Talk:GFF

Here's some more info on it for consideration. As is, the wiki article leaves you to guess at a lot of what's going on. Listing it here for now so I don't lose track of it.

Field information incorrect

After checking a .das file with the GFF editor that comes with the toolset, it would appear that FieldType is TypeID *then* flags. Also the flags are Reference (MSB, bit 16), List (bit 15), and Struct (bit 14).

This can be verified with:

# let data be an array of the gff file
# let offset be the start of a field in the field array
(id, type, flags, index) = unpack("I H H I),data[offset:offset+12])

isList = (flags & (1 << 15) >0)
isStruct = (flags & (1 << 14) >0)
isRef = (flags & (1 << 16) >0)

Given this, I'm going to change the page. If I'm incorrect, feel free to revert and explain why here.
