This library provides a number of ways to compute the bit reversal of all primitive integers. There are currently 3 different algorithms implemented: Bitwise, Parallel, and Lookup reversal.
```rust use bit_reverse::ParallelReverse;
asserteq!(0xA0u8.swapbits(), 0x05u8); ``` This library is very simple to uses just import the crate and the algorithm you want to use. Then you can call swap_bits() on any primitive integer. If you want to try a different algorithm just change the use statement and now your program will use the algorithm instead.
I wouldn't use BitwiseReverse as it is mainly there for completeness and is strictly inferior to ParallelReverse, which is a Bitwise Parallel Reverse and thus an order of magnitude faster. I would recommend you use the ParallelReverse as it performs equal to or better than LookupReverse for all types. Plus as an added bonus doesn't eat your cache with a lookup table.
Bitwise uses the least amount of memory only using three integers to compute the reversal. Parallel allocates 3 constants of the same size of the type being reversed. Lookup allocates 256 u8s or 256 bytes to do its byte lookup reversal.
