## bitvector, a simple bitvector implementation in Rust-lang
This crate is a modification of [librustc_data_structures/bitvec.rs](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/src/librustc_data_structures/bitvec.rs) for set operator support.
### Documentation
Visit the [online documentation](http://zhaihj.github.io/doc/bitvector/index.html) or run
```cargo doc```
to generate a local copy.
### How to use
Add the following line to `[dependencies]` in your `Cargo.toml` file:
```toml
bitvector = 0.1
```
Then you can use the `BitVector`:
```rust
extern crate bitvector;
use bitvector::*;
fn main() {
let mut test_vec = BitVector::new(50);
for i in vec![0,1,3,5,7,11,13,17,19,23] { test_vec.insert(i); }
let mut test_vec2 = BitVector::new(50);
for i in vec![3,5,9,13,19,40,45] { test_vec2.insert(i); }
// union of test_vec and test_vec2
// other possible operators: intersection, difference
let union = test_vec.union(&test_vec2);
assert!(union.contains(3));
assert!(union.contains(5));
assert!(union.contains(13));
assert!(union.contains(19));
assert!(union.contains(9));
assert!(union.contains(40));
// all the operators also have `*_inplace` variants
// which directly modify `self` to avoid extra memory operations.
test_vec.union_inplace(&test_vec2);
assert!(test_vec.contains(3));
assert!(test_vec.contains(5));
assert!(test_vec.contains(13));
assert!(test_vec.contains(19));
assert!(test_vec.contains(0));
assert!(test_vec.contains(9));
assert!(test_vec.contains(40));
}
```
