flexfloat 1.1.0

A Rust library for arbitrary-precision floating-point arithmetic with growable exponents and fixed-size fractions, extending IEEE 754 double-precision range.

//! A proxy reference to a single bit in packed bit storage.
//!
//! Used by bit-array backends that pack multiple bits into a single integer
//! word (e.g., `UsizeBitArray`). Such backends cannot soundly return
//! `&mut bool` because no `bool` actually exists in storage.
//!
//! `BitRef` solves this by:
//! 1. Reading the bit value into a local `bool` field (`value`).
//! 2. Allowing reads/writes through `Deref`/`DerefMut`.
//! 3. Writing the (possibly modified) value back into the underlying word
//!    when dropped.

use core::ops::{Deref, DerefMut};

/// A proxy reference to a single bit packed inside a `usize` word.
///
/// Reads from `*bit_ref` return the current value; writes via
/// `*bit_ref = ...` update an internal field that is flushed back to
/// the underlying word on `Drop`.
