Function set_bits 

pub const fn set_bits(
    base: u64,
    value: u64,
    value_bits: u64,
    value_shift: u64,
) -> u64

Sets the bits of value in base without clearing already set bits.

Parameters

• base: Base value to alter.
• value: New value/bits to be set in base.
• value_bits: Amount of bits of value that are relevant.
• value_shift: Position of value inside base, starting from the right/LSB (0).

Example

use bit_ops::bitops_u64::set_bits;

// props of a fictional interrupt controller
let delivery_mode = 0b111;
let delivery_mode_bits = 3;
let delivery_mode_shift = 3;
assert_eq!(
    set_bits(
        0,
        delivery_mode,
        delivery_mode_bits,
        delivery_mode_shift,
    ),
    0b11_1000
);

Panics

This function panics for overflowing shifts and bit positions that are outside the range of the underlying type.
