# bits
Library for bit manipulation.

![](https://img.shields.io/badge/C++%20standard-C++20-blueviolet)
[![Release](https://img.shields.io/github/v/release/ttldtor/bits)](https://github.com/ttldtor/bits/releases/latest)
[![License](https://img.shields.io/badge/license-BSL--1.0-orange)](https://github.com/ttldtor/bits/blob/default/LICENSE.txt)

## Examples of usage

### xmake

```lua
add_rules("mode.debug", "mode.release")

add_repositories("ttldtor https://github.com/ttldtor/xmake-repo.git")
add_requires("bits v1.0.0")

target("test_bits")
set_kind("binary")
add_packages("bits")
add_files("src/*.cpp")
set_languages("c++20")
```

### CMake

```cmake
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.16)
project(test_bits LANGUAGES CXX)

include(FetchContent)
FetchContent_Declare(
bits
GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/ttldtor/bits.git
GIT_TAG v1.0.0
)
FetchContent_MakeAvailable(bits)

add_executable(${PROJECT_NAME} src/main.cpp)
target_compile_features(${PROJECT_NAME} PRIVATE cxx_std_20)
target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME} PRIVATE bits)
```

### Code

```c++
#include
#include

using namespace org::ttldtor::bits;

int main(int argc, char** argv) {
std::cout << "hello world!" << std::endl;
std::cout << shl(-5, 4) << std::endl;

return 0;
}
```
