Hello,
How do I get at the block_type value itself, not an unsigned long, from a dynamic_bitset (or std::bitset for that matter).
The best candidate I've found thus far is: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8297913/how-do-i-convert-bitset-to-array-... 'Course, then there's the argument, is that too much abstraction around what is basically a "simple" bit-field bit-mask I want to accomplish.
For instance, can I do something like this?
typedef unsigned char byte; boost::dynamic_bitset<byte> my_bitset(static_cast<byte>(0x00)); //Do some bit twiddling... byte my_value = static_cast<byte>(my_bitset);
Or something like that. Basically I want to avoid any to_ulong() mumbo jumbo if I can just get at the underlying block_type value.
Thank you...
Regards,
Michael Powell
