Decodes by trying all possible source messages (and hence all possible codewords, unless the parity check matrix was redundant). If the last argument is 1, it sets dblk to the most likely entire block; if this argument is 0, each bit of dblk is set to the most likely value for that bit. The marginal probabilities of each bit being 1 are returned in bitpr. The function value returned is the total number of codewords tried (which will be the same for all blocks). The return valued is "unsigned" because it might conceivably be as big as 2^31. The parity check matrix and other data are taken from the global variables declared in rcode.h. The number of message bits should not be greater than 31 for this procedure. The setup procedure immediately below checks this, reads the generator file, and outputs headers for the detailed trace file, if required. */ void enum_decode_setup(void) { read_gen(gen_file,0,0); if (N-M>31) { fprintf(stderr, "Trying to decode messages with %d bits by exhaustive enumeration is absurd!\n", N-M); exit(1); } if (table==2) { printf(" block decoding likelihood\n"); } } unsigned enum_decode ( double *lratio, /* Likelihood ratios for bits */ char *dblk, /* Place to stored decoded message */ double *bitpr, /* Place to store marginal bit probabilities */ int max_block /* Maximize probability of whole block being correct? */ ) { mod2dense *u, *v; double lk, maxlk, tpr; double *bpr, *lk0, *lk1; char sblk[31]; char *cblk; unsigned d; int i, j; if (N-M>31) abort(); /* Allocate needed space. */ bpr = bitpr; if (bpr==0 && max_block==0) { bpr = chk_alloc (N, sizeof *bpr); } cblk = chk_alloc (N, sizeof *cblk); if (type=='d') { u = mod2dense_allocate(N-M,1); v = mod2dense_allocate(M,1); } if (type=='m') { u = mod2dense_allocate(M,1); v = mod2dense_allocate(M,1); } lk0 = chk_alloc (N, sizeof *lk0); lk1 = chk_alloc (N, sizeof *lk1); /* Pre-compute likelihoods for bits. */ for (j = 0; j=0; i--) { sblk[i] = (d>>i)&1; } /* Find full codeword for this message. */ switch (type) { case 's': { sparse_encode (sblk, cblk); break; } case 'd': { dense_encode (sblk, cblk, u, v); break; } case 'm': { mixed_encode (sblk, cblk, u, v); break; } } /* Compute likelihood for this decoding. */ lk = 1; for (j = 0; jmaxlk) { for (j = 0; j=0.5; } } /* Free space. */ if (bpr!=0 && bpr!=bitpr) free(bpr); free(cblk); free(lk0); free(lk1); return 1<<(N-M); } /* DECODE USING PROBABILITY PROPAGATION.

If max_iter is negative, abs(max_iter) iterations are done, regardless of whether a codeword was found earlier. Returns the number of iterations done (as an "unsigned" for consistency with enum_decode). Regardless of whether or not a valid codeword was reached, the bit vector from thresholding the bit-by-bit probabilities is stored in dblk, and the resulting parity checks are stored in pchk (all will be zero if the codeword is valid). The final probabilities for each bit being a 1 are stored in bprb.
