The main type exported by the library, BV
, is a packed, growable
bit-vector. Its API mirrors that of Vec
where reasonable. The library
also defines slices 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 BitVec
and BitVecMut
traits, which also allow treating all primitive unsigned integer types
(uN
), vectors thereof (Vec<uN>
), and Vec<bool>
as bit-vectors.
