     *        in a block. Also called frame_size. <= block_size
     * \param frozen_bit_positions is an integer vector which defines
     *        the position of all frozen bits in a block.  Its size
     *        MUST be equal to block_size - num_info_bits.  Also it
     *        must be sorted and every position must only occur once.
     * \param frozen_bit_values holds an unpacked byte for every
     *        frozen bit position. It defines if a frozen bit is
     *        fixed to '0' or '1'. Defaults to all ZERO.
