bv-rs: bit-vectors and bit-slices for Rust
The main type exported by the library, BitVec
, is a packed, growable bit-vector. Its API mirrors that of Vec
where reasonable. The library also defines slice operations that return BitSlice
or BitSliceMut
, akin to Rust’s array slices but for bit-vectors. A common API to bit-vectors and bit-slices is provided by the Bits
, BitsMut
, and BitsPush
traits, which also allow treating as bit-vectors all primitive unsigned integer types (uN
), and vectors and slices thereof, as well as unpacked vectors and slices of bool
.
