Re: [Boost-users] max value by the number of bits

...

Yes. Thanks! It works but not for n = 64. It gives a wrong value:

typedef boost::low_bits_mask_t<64> mask_t; mask_t::least oo = mask_t::sig_bits;

Does that work for you?

Yes, I got 18446744073709551615

Damn, I used MS Calculator to see if all bits are set and I suppose values in Calculator are of a signed type. Of course, you're correct and it does work! Sorry for the confusion, Christian
