pub type Word = u64;Expand description
Fundamental word type for bitmask operations on 64-bit architectures.
Defines the basic unit of bitmask storage and manipulation. All bitmask operations are optimised around 64-bit word boundaries for maximum performance on modern CPU architectures.
ยงArchitecture Alignment
This type is chosen to align with:
- 64-bit CPU registers: Native register width on x86-64 and AArch64
- Cache line efficiency: Optimal memory access patterns
- SIMD compatibility: Natural alignment for vectorised operations
