Binary numbers

The C language doesn't handle binary numbers directly but macros can do the job.  These macros allow bytes, halfwords, words, and longs to be specified in binary.  One warning though.  A 64 bit binary number will take up more than an 80 column line!

// The following macros build values in binary.  Nybbles are separated by
// commas for readability.  If a non-binary digit is used, a compiler error
// will result.  Here are some examples of the usage of the binary macros:
//
//    B4 (0110) = 0x06
//    B8 (0101,0101) = 0x55
//    B16 (1010,1010, 0101,0101) = 0xAA55
//    B32 (1000,0000, 1111,1111, 1010,1010, 0101,0101) = 0x80FFAA55
//
// For maximum readability, the bytes should be separated by spaces and there
// should be no spaces between nybbles, as shown above.  Note that an enum
// isn't used because MISRA-C generates errors otherwise.
