Hello my name is Brian Bartman and I am an undergraduate at Kent State University Majoring in computer science.
I don't know if you are interested in improving Boost.Bitfield. I had two
features I wanted to add since long time but I had not time lastly finish them. You can find information related to Boost.Bitfield in https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/LibrariesUnderConstruction#Boost.Bitfi... .
Hi Vicente. I think these would be great components of a "bit-based" proposal. I think I'd like to see a compact or compressed vector to replace the 1- and 2-bit color maps in Boost (and generalize the concept), and a compact tuple, which (I think) is basically what you described for the RGB structure. I think the pointer_plus_bits may make the project a bit extensive for the summer, but definitely something to think about as an extension. On my part, I'd like to see compact_vector, compact_tuple and tools for bit and bitmask manipulation, with the pointer space reuse being an optional component. Would you be willing to mentor?
