Member Function Documentation

clearAll()

bool bitfield::clearAll ( void )

noexcept

Returns

true on success, otherwise return false.

clearBit()

bool bitfield::clearBit ( const size_t index )

noexcept

Clears one bit in a BitField.

Parameters

[in]

index

The bit-index.

Returns

true on success, otherwise return false.

dump()

void * bitfield::dump ( void *const dst, const size_t n )

noexcept

Copies n bytes from the bit-field instance to a designed memory area.

Parameters

[in]	dst	Pointer to the destination array where the content is to be copied.
[in]	n	Number of bytes to copy.

Returns

Destination is returned on success, otherwise nullptr.

readBit()

bool bitfield::readBit ( const size_t index ) const

noexcept

Retrieve the state of a bit in a bitfield.

Parameters

[in]

index

The bit-index.

Returns

The value of the bit at index.

readFloat()

float bitfield::readFloat ( const size_t index ) const

noexcept

Reads a 32-bit floating point value from the BitField.

Parameters

[in]

index

The bit-index taken as offset.

Returns

The floating point value from the BitField at the desired index

readUINTn()

uint32_t bitfield::readUINTn ( const size_t index, const size_t xBits ) const

noexcept

Reads an unsigned 32-bit value from the BitField.

Parameters

[in]	index	The bit-index taken as offset.
[in]	xBits	The number of bits to read. ( max allowed : 32 bits )

Returns

The value from the bitfield from the desired index

setAll()

bool bitfield::setAll ( void )
