eof error

[rik.vanmechelen@…]

It says in the comments that when you reach an eof it should return #f when reading.
I got an error that the bitwise-and got eof as first argument
the fix for this is:
;;;new if statement to chech for eof first

(define (read-few-bits n)

(if (eof-object? buffer)

#f
(let ((value (bitwise-and buffer ; all bits in buffer

(sub1 (<<1 mask)))))

(set! bits-in-buffer (- bits-in-buffer n))
(set! mask (>> mask n))
(>> value bits-in-buffer)))) ; remove extra bits

and
;;;added and with not eof?
((and (= n 1) ; read one bit

(not (eof-object? buffer)))

(let ((value (if (bit-set? buffer mask) 1 0)))

(set! mask (>>1 mask))
(set! bits-in-buffer (sub1 bits-in-buffer))
value))
