rust-dense-bitset

Efficient and flexible self-contained bitset rust library.

The library is safe rust only, fully documented, and uses the most efficient algorithms whenever possible.

Implementations

DenseBitSet is a compact 64-bit bitset supporting in particular
- Individual bit setting (set_bit) and getting (get_bit)
- Bitwise operations &, ^, |, !, <<, >> and rotations
- Hamming weight, bit reversal, find first set
- Conversion from and to integers and strings
- Insertion and extraction of bitsets
DenseBitSetExtended implements the same functionality, extending the bitset as necessary to accomodate as many bits as needed. Memory can be preallocated and new allocation is only performed if necessary.

Usage

use rust_dense_bitset::{BitSet, DenseBitSetExtended};

let mut bs = DenseBitSetExtended::from_string(
    String::from("f001eddadf411eddec0de5ca1ab1ec0feefeeb1e01dc0b01"),
    16,
);

let bs2 = DenseBitSetExtended::from_string(
    String::from("0J2aG5BaMRS443FEBRGS5DTMV2A"),
    32
);

bs = bs.rotr(17) | (bs2 << 43);
bs.set_bit(123, true);

println!("{}", bs.subset(3, 64).to_string());

Known limits and caveats

The data structure does not make use of compression and is therefore not particularly suited to sparse bitsets: in this scenario alternatives such as the hibitset library can be considered instead.
clippy incorrectly reports issues with "suspicious operators" in the shift operators. (To avoid errors we deactivated suspicious_op_assign_impl lint)
