Support for CLASS ... WITH SYNTAX ...

[kimgr]

I looked up CLASS ... WITH SYNTAX ... in my ASN.1 specifications, and I frankly could not make sense of them. Do you have a link to somewhere I can read more about the semantics? Thanks!

Hi Kim, I was also confused, but then I find this as a coherent explanation: http://www.oss.com/asn1/resources/asn1-made-simple/advanced-topics.html Especially "Information Objects" and "Open Types". What they say is that there's a table describing instance values. I've seen it used in RFCs with &Id / &Type pairs to replace earlier versions using ANY DEFINED BY (oidfield), which would assume that a table is defined to work out what OID belongs to what type in the ANY field.

Aaaw, my head hurts! Thanks, that was a good example. I'll save it for a day when I'm feeling perkier to think about whether it's implementable.

Hi!
is there any progress with this issue? I have one sample having the same issue. Other online validators works well with this sample, but asn1ate says pyparsing.ParseException: Expected "END".
I can also provide you an example if you need it...

I found asn1ate fairly straightforward to get into, as it is programmed really cleanly. I can only suggest that you consider adding this to the code and offering it as a PR. It's what we did for Quick DER, for imports. (I am not kimgr, so I have no say of what comes in of course, but I'd like this in Quick DER as well.) http://github.com/vanrein/quick-der

Sorry, time has been scarce for asn1ate. I'll try to get to this, but I can't promise when.
