Replace bitvec_set_uint() with bitvec_set_u64()

Old bitvec_set_uint() uses "unsigned int" as input parameter which
length is not guaranteed. It does not allow to specify which bit_value
to set and does not check for incorrect length. Overall this makes it
harder to re-use and more error-prone.

Let's replace it with extended implementation which uses fixed type
length parameters and extra checks. The additional parameter allows
caller to explicitly indicate the need to use L/H instead of 0/1 for bit
vector elements. It's necessary to properly encode some of the messages
from 3GPP TS 44.018, for example ยง10.5.2.16 IA Rest Octets.

The old function is left for backward compatibility as a tiny wrapper
around new function and will be deprecated in follow-up patches.

libosmocore - set of Osmocom core libraries

This repository contains a set of C-language libraries that form the core infrastructure of many Osmocom Open Source Mobile Communications projects.

Historically, a lot of this code was developed as part of the OpenBSC project, but which are of a more generic nature and thus useful to (at least) other programs that we develop in the sphere of Free Software / Open Source mobile communications.

There is no clear scope of it. We simply move all shared code between the various Osmocom projects in this library to avoid code duplication.

The libosmcoore.git repository build multiple libraries:

  • libosmocore contains some general-purpose functions like select-loop abstraction, message buffers, timers, linked lists
  • libosmovty contains routines related to the interactive command-line interface called VTY
  • libosmogsm contains definitions and helper code related to GSM protocols
  • libosmoctrl contains a shared implementation of the Osmocom control interface
  • libosmogb contains an implementation of the Gb interface with its NS/BSSGP protocols
  • libosmocodec contains an implementation of GSM voice codecs
  • libosmocoding contains an implementation of GSM channel coding
  • libosmosim contains infrastructure to interface SIM/UICC/USIM cards
  • libosmotrau contains encoding/decoding functions for A-bis TRAU frames
