question about syntax

[Arvind]

Hi,

A standards document I am reading defines a packet format using some
object-based language (Java I think). I would really appreciate it if
any of you could tell me what the meaning
of the following syntax is?

class ContentDesc extends OCI_desc : bit(8) tag =ContentClassTag{
bit 32 YY;
bit 16 XX ;
}

In particular, what does the "bit(8) tag = ContentClassTag" part mean??

I can tell you that its not Java.

You are seeing C++ here. Strictly speaking, C++ is object-supporting, not
object-based.

It doesn't look like C++ either, since C++ use ":" instead of "extends".
