bit-flags 0.1.2

Allows for the easy creation of bitflag-based enums through the use of an easy-to-use Flags trait that is auto-implemented on all types that are capable of stable bit-twiddling.

The Flags trait is auto-implemented mplemented on types that are capable of bitwise twiddling as a way of turning on and off different bit-specific flags, such as u8, u16, u32, u64, etc.

To integrate with bit-flags, custom enum types should implent From<T> where T is the type that implements bit_flags::Flags. You can then call has_flag, set_flag, and unset_flag on T using flags defined by the custom enum type, like so:

use bit_flags::Flags;

#[derive(Copy, Clone, Debug, PartialEq, Eq)]
enum MyFlags {
    Flag1 = 1 << 0, // 0b00000001
    Flag2 = 1 << 1, // 0b00000010
    Flag3 = 1 << 2, // 0b00000100
    Flag4 = 1 << 3, // 0b00001000
}

impl From<MyFlags> for u8 {
    fn from(flag: MyFlags) -> Self {
        flag as u8
    }
}

let mut flags: u8 = MyFlags::Flag1 as u8 | MyFlags::Flag2 as u8;
assert!(flags.has_flag(MyFlags::Flag1));
assert!(flags.has_flag(MyFlags::Flag2));
assert!(!flags.has_flag(MyFlags::Flag3));
flags.set_flag(MyFlags::Flag3);
assert!(flags.has_flag(MyFlags::Flag3));
flags.set_flag(MyFlags::Flag1);
assert!(flags.has_flag(MyFlags::Flag1));
flags.unset_flag(MyFlags::Flag2);
assert!(!flags.has_flag(MyFlags::Flag2));

// You can also use the flags directly with bitwise operations:
flags |= MyFlags::Flag4 as u8; // Set Flag4
flags &= !(MyFlags::Flag1 as u8); // Unset Flag1
assert!(flags.has_flag(MyFlags::Flag4));
assert!(!flags.has_flag(MyFlags::Flag1));
assert!(flags.has_flag(MyFlags::Flag3));
assert!(!flags.has_flag(MyFlags::Flag2));

You can also use multi-byte flags:

use bit_flags::Flags;

#[repr(u16)]
#[derive(Copy, Clone, Debug, PartialEq, Eq)]
  enum MyFlags {
      Flag1 = 1 << 0,   // 0b0000000000000001
      Flag2 = 1 << 1,   // 0b0000000000000010
      Flag3 = 1 << 2,   // 0b0000000000000100
      Flag4 = 1 << 3,   // 0b0000000000001000
      Flag5 = 1 << 4,   // 0b0000000000010000
      Flag6 = 1 << 5,   // 0b0000000000100000
      Flag7 = 1 << 6,   // 0b0000000001000000
      Flag8 = 1 << 7,   // 0b0000000010000000
      Flag9 = 1 << 8,   // 0b0000000100000000
      Flag10 = 1 << 9,  // 0b0000001000000000
      Flag11 = 1 << 10, // 0b0000010000000000
      Flag12 = 1 << 11, // 0b0000100000000000
      Flag13 = 1 << 12, // 0b0001000000000000
      Flag14 = 1 << 13, // 0b0010000000000000
      Flag15 = 1 << 14, // 0b0100000000000000
      Flag16 = 1 << 15, // 0b1000000000000000
  }

impl From<MyFlags> for u16 {
   fn from(flag: MyFlags) -> Self {
       flag as u16
   }
}

let mut flags: u16 = MyFlags::Flag1 as u16 | MyFlags::Flag2 as u16;
assert!(flags.has_flag(MyFlags::Flag1));
assert!(flags.has_flag(MyFlags::Flag2));
assert!(!flags.has_flag(MyFlags::Flag3));

flags.set_flag(MyFlags::Flag15);
assert!(flags.has_flag(MyFlags::Flag15));
flags.unset_flag(MyFlags::Flag1);
assert!(!flags.has_flag(MyFlags::Flag1));
assert_eq!(flags, MyFlags::Flag2 as u16 | MyFlags::Flag15 as u16);
