dotbits

unsigned int <-> Vec<bool>, plus helper functions

dotbits is a rust library that simplifies bit manipulation. Its primary feature is the .bits() function, which converts any unsigned integer type (u8, u16, u32, u64, u128, usize) into a Vec<bool>. It also adds certain helper functions over Vec<bool>.

WARNING: This crate is currently in the rapid iteration phase, and should not be considered stable. Certain methods may get added or removed very quickly between versions - use this crate at your own risk!

Usage

Add the following to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
dotbits = "0.3"

Examples

Bit shifts using negative numbers:

use dotbits::BitManip;
assert_eq!(24u32.signed_left_shift(2), 24u32 << 2);
assert_eq!(24u32.signed_left_shift(-2), 24u32 >> 2);
assert_eq!(24u32.signed_right_shift(2), 24u32 >> 2);
assert_eq!(24u32.signed_right_shift(-2), 24u32 << 2);
