Macro altbitflags::flag_ro

macro_rules! flag_ro {
    ($name:ident, $pos:expr) => { ... };
    ($name:ident, $full_name:ident, $pos:expr) => { ... };
}

Create read-only flag.

It accepts a name argument, optional full name argument and a number, which indicates the bit number with required flag.

Later, the given flag can be accessed either by short or full name in a form of a normal function.

It will work only if it's put in a structure implementation where integer number with bit fields can be accessed with 'self.0'.

ReadOnly flags accepts 'self.0' to be of any integer type.

Example

#[macro_use]
extern crate altbitflags;

struct Something(i64);

impl Something {
    flag_ro!(present, 0);
    flag_ro!(tx, 1);
    flag_ro!(e, extended, 2);

    // It is okay to define different functions for a single bit:
    flag_ro!(some, 3);
    flag_ro!(some_bit, 3);
}

fn main() {
    let mut something = Something(0);

    if (something.present()) { /* ... */ }
    if (something.tx()) { /* ... */ }

    // These do the same thing:
    if (something.e()) { /* ... */ }
    if (something.extended()) { /* ... */ }
}
