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 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 BitVec
and BitVecMut
traits, which also allow treating all primitive unsigned integer types
(uN
) and vectors and array slices of the same primitive types as well
as of bool (Vec<uN>
, &[uN]
, &mut [uN]
, Vec<bool>
, &[bool]
, and
&mut [bool]
) as bit-vectors.
