Low level bit manipulation has never been my strong point. I will appreciate some help in understanding the following use case of bitwise operators.Consider...
I\'m making a class PackedUnsigned1616 which stores two unsigned shorts in one int, and a class PackedSigned1616 which stores two signed shorts in one int. I\'ve read up on bitwise operations, but I\'
To clarify my question, let\'s start off with an example program: #include <stdio.h> #pragma pack(push,1)
I have an array of integers, lets assume they are of type int64_t. Now, I know that only every first n bits of every integer are meaningful (that is, I know that they are limited by some bounds).
During a code review I\'ve come across some code that defines a simple structure as follows: class foo {
I have an array of values all well within the range 0 - 63, and decided I could pack every 4 bytes into 3 because the values only require 6 bits and I could use the extra 2bits to store the first 2 bi
