# Roaring

[Roaring Bitmaps](http://www.roaringbitmap.org/about/) are a compressed bitmap/bitset format/library. Think of it like a `Set` which can only hold (32-bit or 64-bit) `Integer`s, with much lower memory use and supporting fast set operations.

## Installation

Install the gem and add to the application's Gemfile by executing:

$ bundle add roaring

## Usage

``` ruby
require "roaring"

# Bitmap32 can efficiently store a large range of 32-bit integers
bitmap = Roaring::Bitmap32[1, 2, 3, 999]
bitmap << (2**32 - 1)

# Bitmap64 can efficiently store a large range of 64-bit integers
bitmap = Roaring::Bitmap64[1, 2, 3, 999]
bitmap << (2**32 + 1)
bitmap << (2**64 - 1)

# Element access
bitmap.each { }
bitmap.first # => 1
bitmap.min # => 1
bitmap.max # => 18446744073709551615
bitmap.last # => 18446744073709551615
bitmap[3] # => 999
bitmap.to_a # => [1, 2, 3, 999, 4294967297, 18446744073709551615]

b1 = Roaring::Bitmap64.new(200...500)
b2 = Roaring::Bitmap64.new(100...1000)

# Support common set operations
(b1 & b2).size # => 300
(b1 ^ b2).size # => 600
(b2 - b1).size # => 600
(b1 - b2).empty? # => true
b1 < b2 # => true
(b2 - b1) == (b1 ^ b2) # => true

# (De)Serialization (also available via Marshal#{dump,load})
dump = bitmap.serialize
loaded = Roaring::Bitmap64.deserialize(dump)
loaded == bitmap # => true
```

## Development

This is a Ruby wrapper around [CRoaring](https://github.com/RoaringBitmap/CRoaring)

After checking out the repo, run `bin/setup` to install dependencies. Then, run `rake test` to run the tests. You can also run `bin/console` for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run `bundle exec rake install`. To release a new version, update the version number in `version.rb`, and then run `bundle exec rake release`, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and the created tag, and push the `.gem` file to [rubygems.org](https://rubygems.org).
