Detailed Description

Bitset is a basic class for handling bit sequences

The bits are stored internally using deque<bool> (See http://osdir.com/ml/gis.geos.devel/2006-04/msg00142.html). The bitset is assumed to have most significant bits left i.e. the push_back() methods add to the least significant end of the bit sequence. The usage is clarified by the following example.

Usage

Bitset b;
b.push_back(true);
b.push_back(false);
b.push_back(false);
b.push_back(false);
b.push_back(8, 4);
b.push_back(0x88, 8);
b.fill_zeros_left(32);
b.Output(std::cout); // b contains now: 00000000 00000000 10001000 10001000
