DESCRIPTION

The bitset(9) family of macros provide a flexible and efficient bitset implementation if the maximum size of the set is known at compilation. Throughout this manual page, the name SETSIZE refers to the size of the bitset in bits. Individual bits in bitsets are referenced with indices zero through SETSIZE, -, 1. One example use of <sys/bitset.h> is <sys/cpuset.h>.

The BITSET_DEFINE() macro defines a bitset struct STRUCTNAME with room to represent SETSIZE bits.

The BITSET_T_INITIALIZER() macro allows one to initialize a bitset struct with a compile time literal value.

The BITSET_FSET() macro generates a compile time literal, usable by BITSET_T_INITIALIZER(), representing a full bitset (all bits set). For examples of BITSET_T_INITIALIZER() and BITSET_FSET() usage, see the BITSET_T_INITIALIZER EXAMPLE section. The N_WORDS parameter to BITSET_FSET() should be:

__bitset_words(SETSIZE)

The BIT_CLR() macro clears bit bit in the bitset pointed to by bitset. The BIT_CLR_ATOMIC() macro is identical, but the bit is cleared atomically.

The BIT_COPY() macro copies the contents of the bitset from to the bitset to. BIT_COPY_STORE_REL() is similar, but copies component machine words from from and writes them to to with atomic store with release semantics. (That is, if to is composed of multiple machine words, BIT_COPY_STORE_REL() performs multiple individually atomic operations.)

The BIT_SET() macro sets bit bit in the bitset pointed to by bitset. The BIT_SET_ATOMIC() macro is identical, but the bit is set atomically. The BIT_SET_ATOMIC_ACQ() macro sets the bit with acquire semantics.

The BIT_ZERO() macro clears all bits in bitset.

The BIT_FILL() macro sets all bits in bitset.

The BIT_SETOF() macro clears all bits in bitset before setting only bit bit.

The BIT_EMPTY() macro returns true if bitset is empty.

The BIT_ISFULLSET() macro returns true if bitset is full (all bits set).

The BIT_FFS() macro returns the 1-index of the first (lowest) set bit in bitset, or zero if bitset is empty. Like with ffs(3), to use the non-zero result of BIT_FFS() as a bit index parameter to any other bitset(9) macro, you must subtract one from the result.

The BIT_FLS() macro returns the 1-index of the last (highest) set bit in bitset, or zero if bitset is empty. Like with fls(3), to use the non-zero result of BIT_FLS() as a bit index parameter to any other bitset(9) macro, you must subtract one from the result.

The BIT_COUNT() macro returns the total number of set bits in bitset.

The BIT_SUBSET() macro returns true if needle is a subset of haystack.

The BIT_OVERLAP() macro returns true if bitset1 and bitset2 have any common bits. (That is, if bitset1 AND bitset2 is not the empty set.)

The BIT_CMP() macro returns true if bitset1 is NOT equal to bitset2.

The BIT_OR() macro sets bits present in src in dst. (It is the bitset(9) equivalent of the scalar: dst |= src, .) BIT_OR_ATOMIC() is similar, but sets bits in the component machine words in dst atomically. (That is, if dst is composed of multiple machine words, BIT_OR_ATOMIC() performs multiple individually atomic operations.)

The BIT_OR2() macro computes src1 bitwise or src2 and assigns the result to dst. (It is the bitset(9) equivalent of the scalar: dst = src1 | src2, .)

The BIT_AND() macro clears bits absent from src from dst. (It is the bitset(9) equivalent of the scalar: dst &= src, .) BIT_AND_ATOMIC() is similar, with the same atomic semantics as BIT_OR_ATOMIC().

The BIT_AND2() macro computes src1 bitwise and src2 and assigns the result to dst. (It is the bitset(9) equivalent of the scalar: dst = src1 & src2, .)

The BIT_NAND() macro clears bits set in src from dst. (It is the bitset(9) equivalent of the scalar: dst &= ~, src, .)

The BIT_NAND2() macro computes src1 bitwise and not src2 and assigns the result to dst. (It is the bitset(9) equivalent of the scalar: dst = src1 & ~ src2, .)

The BIT_XOR() macro toggles bits set in src in dst. (It is the bitset(9) equivalent of the scalar: dst ^= src, .)

The BIT_XOR2() macro computes src1 bitwise exclusive or src2 and assigns the result to dst. (It is the bitset(9) equivalent of the scalar: dst = src1 ^ src2, .)

BITSET_T_INITIALIZER EXAMPLE

BITSET_DEFINE(_myset, MYSETSIZE);

struct _myset myset;

/* Initialize myset to filled (all bits set) */
myset = BITSET_T_INITIALIZER(BITSET_FSET(__bitset_words(MYSETSIZE)));

/* Initialize myset to only the lowest bit set */
myset = BITSET_T_INITIALIZER(0x1);

HISTORY

The bitset(9) macros first appeared in FreeBSD 10.0 in January 2014. They were MFCed to FreeBSD 9.3, released in July 2014.

This manual page first appeared in FreeBSD 11.0 .

AUTHORS

The bitset(9) macros were generalized and pulled out of <sys/cpuset.h> as <sys/_bitset.h> and <sys/bitset.h> by Attilio Rao <Mt attilio@FreeBSD.org>. This manual page was written by Conrad Meyer <Mt cem@FreeBSD.org>.

CAVEATS

The SETSIZE argument to all of these macros must match the value given to BITSET_DEFINE().

Unlike every other reference to individual set members, which are zero-indexed, BIT_FFS() and BIT_FLS() return a one-indexed result (or zero if the set is empty).
