bv-rs: bit-vectors and bit-slices for Rust
The main type exported by the library, BitVec
, is a packed, growable
bit-vector. Its API mirrors that of Vec
where reasonable. The library
also defines slice operations that return BitSlice
or BitSliceMut
,
akin to Rust’s array slices but for bit-vectors. A common API to
bit-vectors and bit-slices is provided by the Bits
, BitsMut
, and
BitsPush
traits, which also allow treating as bit-vectors all primitive
unsigned integer types (uN
), and vectors and slices thereof, as well
as unpacked vectors and slices of bool
.

It’s on crates.io, so you can add
[]
= "0.11.1"

and
extern crate bv;
to your crate root.
