Zitat von "Stewart, Robert" <Robert.Stewart@sig.com>:
One of the other names which came up for this data structure was bit_tuple does that sound any better?
I don't think that's good. It isn't a tuple of bits, but rather of arbitrarily grouped bits. Hence "bit_field_tuple" is the better name.
there is no reason to be strict with the naming here. even if it's technically two words, there's boost::dynamic_bitset, std::bitset and maybe other examples. (regarding the underscore. I agree wrt to a bitfield tuple not being a tuple of bits)
