---------------------------------------

             Summary: InputSourceDataInputStream needs to support bitPos1b
                 Key: DAFFODIL-2639
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAFFODIL-2639
             Project: Daffodil
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Back End
    Affects Versions: 3.2.1
            Reporter: Mike Beckerle


It would be very useful when using Daffodil to parse a stream of data into messages or records, to be able to ask the inputSourceDataInputStream for its position between calls to parse. 

For this to be meaningful; however, the stream must be positioned at the next bit to read in order to consume the next message. That is, any speculative reads must have been backtracked, not stored as state in Daffodil. 

The point is to be able to output along with each message, its starting position in the input data stream, thereby discovering the boundary positions in the input stream where each of the messages/records starts, and the length (by looking at the next starting position)
