This library is useful as is but I would suggest a few additional features for convenience especially among the most common use cases.
1) convenience functions preferably, documented example is acceptable, for extracting a integer, int, long int ... starting at a particular unsigned bit offset for a particular length
Should be easy enough to do. I'll put it on the list.
2) convenience functions preferably, documented example is acceptable, for creating a mask starting at a particular unsigned bit offset for a particular length
As in, a function that could create a bit-mask for all the bits between 128 and 256 inclusive? If so, that shouldn't be difficult either. Added to the list.
3) examples of using this if possible with boost::date in order to efficient work with dates outside the existing limits
Hm... not sure whether that's possible or not. I've added a note to look into it further.
4) conversion to and from dynamic_bitset [already suggested just seconding]
And already on the list.
5) conversion to and from bitset
I'll put that there too. Thank you for your suggestions. -- Chad Nelson Oak Circle Software, Inc. * * *
