Detailed Description

template<typename BITS_ENUM, typename UNDERLYING = unsigned long>
class L4::Types::Flags< BITS_ENUM, UNDERLYING >

Template for defining typical Flags bitmaps.

Template Parameters

BITS_ENUM	enum type that defines a name for each bit in the bitmap. The values of the enum members must be the number of the bit (not a mask).
UNDERLYING	The underlying data type used to represent the bitmap.

The resulting data type provides a type-safe version that allows bitwise and and or operations with the BITS_ENUM members. As well as, test for 0or !0.

Example:

enum Test_flag
{
  Do_weak_tests,
  Do_strong_tests
};
 
typedef L4::Types::Flags<Test_flag> Test_flags;
 
Test_flags x = Do_weak_tests;
 
if (x & Do_strong_tests) { ... }
x |= Do_strong_tests;
if (x & Do_strong_tests) { ... }

Member Enumeration Documentation

None_type

template<typename BITS_ENUM, typename UNDERLYING = unsigned long>

enum L4::Types::Flags::None_type

The none type to get an empty bitmap.

Enumerator
None	Use this to get an empty bitmap.

Definition at line 68 of file types.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Flags() [1/2]

template<typename BITS_ENUM, typename UNDERLYING = unsigned long>

L4::Types::Flags< BITS_ENUM, UNDERLYING >::Flags ( None_type )

inline

Make an empty bitmap.

Usually used for implicit conversion from Flags::None.

Flags x = Flags::None;

Definition at line 78 of file types.

Flags() [2/2]

template<typename BITS_ENUM, typename UNDERLYING = unsigned long>

L4::Types::Flags< BITS_ENUM, UNDERLYING >::Flags ( BITS_ENUM e )

inline

Make flags from bit name.

Usually used for implicit conversion for a bit name.

Test_flags f = Do_strong_tests;

Definition at line 91 of file types.

Member Function Documentation

clear()

template<typename BITS_ENUM, typename UNDERLYING = unsigned long>

type & L4::Types::Flags< BITS_ENUM, UNDERLYING >::clear ( bits_enum_type flag )

inline

Clear the given flag.

Parameters

flag	The flag that shall be cleared.

flags.clear(The_flag) is a shortcut for flags &= ~Flags(The_flag).

Definition at line 142 of file types.

from_raw()

template<typename BITS_ENUM, typename UNDERLYING = unsigned long>

type L4::Types::Flags< BITS_ENUM, UNDERLYING >::from_raw ( value_type v )

inlinestatic

Make flags from a raw value of value_type.

This function may be used for example in C wrapper code.
