Bit View

This trait describes a region of memory that can be viewed as its constituent bits. It is blanket-implemented on all BitStore implementors, as well as slices and arrays of them. It should not be implemented on any other types.

The contained extension methods allow existing memory to be easily viewd as BitSlices using dot-call method syntax rather than the more cumbersome constructor functions in BitSlice’s inherent API.

Since the element type is already known to the implementor, the only type parameter you need to provide when calling these methods is the bit-ordering.

Examples

use bitvec::prelude::*;

let a = 0u16;
let a_bits: &BitSlice<u16, Lsb0> = a.view_bits::<Lsb0>();

let mut b = [0u8; 4];
let b_bits: &mut BitSlice<u8, Msb0> = b.view_bits_mut::<Msb0>();
