Corrade::Containers::BigEnumSet class new in Git master

Set of more than 64 enum values.

Template parameters
T Enum type
size How many 64-bit integers to use to store the value

A variant of EnumSet that is able to handle sets of more than 64 values (which is the largest standard integer type) by treating the enum values as bit positions instead of bit values. Internally an array is used for storage and the class doesn't provide any equivalent to EnumSet::operator UnderlyingType().

While it's theoretically possible to store up to $ 2^{64} $ different values, the storage is artificially limited to 8192 values, which fits into 1 kB. With a 16-bit T and larger, you're expected to set the size template parameter to a reasonable upper bound, not larger than 128. On construction, the enum value is checked against this limit to ensure no bits are ignored by accident. For an unbounded runtime-sized array of bits use BitArray instead.

Below is a side-by-side comparison of an equivalent enum set implementation in EnumSet and BigEnumSet — the only difference is enum values being specified as i instead of 1 << i and the typedef, the CORRADE_ENUMSET_OPERATORS() / CORRADE_ENUMSET_FRIEND_OPERATORS() macro is the same:

/* 64 values at most */
enum class Feature: std::uint64_t {
    DeferredRendering = 1 << 0,
    AreaLights = 1 << 1,
    GlobalIllumination = 1 << 2,
    Shadows = 1 << 3,
    Reflections = 1 << 4,
    …
};

typedef Containers::EnumSet<Feature>
    Features;
CORRADE_ENUMSET_OPERATORS(Features)
/* 256 values at most, for an 8-bit type */
enum class Feature: std::uint8_t {
    DeferredRendering = 0,
    AreaLights = 1,
    GlobalIllumination = 2,
    Shadows = 3,
    Reflections = 4,
    …
};

Function documentation

template<class T, std::size_t size>
Corrade::Containers::BigEnumSet<T, size>::BigEnumSet(Corrade::NoInitT) explicit

Create an uninitialized set.

The contents are left in an undefined state.

template<class T, std::size_t size>
Corrade::Containers::BigEnumSet<T, size>::operator bool() const explicit constexpr

Boolean conversion.

Returns true if at least one bit is set, false otherwise.

template<class T, std::size_t size>
const std::uint64_t* Corrade::Containers::BigEnumSet<T, size>::data() const constexpr

Stored data.

Returns an array of size Size.

template<class T, std::size_t size>
bool Corrade::Containers::BigEnumSet<T, size>::operator>=(const BigEnumSet<T, size>& other) const constexpr

Whether other is a subset of this ( $ a \supseteq o $ )

Equivalent to (a & other) == other.

template<class T, std::size_t size>
bool Corrade::Containers::BigEnumSet<T, size>::operator<=(const BigEnumSet<T, size>& other) const constexpr

Whether other is a superset of this ( $ a \subseteq o $ )

Equivalent to (a & other) == a.

Utility::Debug& bigEnumSetDebugOutput(Utility::Debug& debug, BigEnumSet<T, size> value, const char* empty) new in Git master

Print a big enum set to debug output.

Parameters
debug Debug output
value Value to be printed
empty What to print in case of an empty enum set

Compared to enumSetDebugOutput(), this function doesn't need an explicit list of known values but will instead go through all set bits and print them one by one. This also means unknown bits, if any, will be interleaved with the known ones. Example definition:

enum class Feature: std::uint8_t {
    Fast = 0,
    Cheap = 1,
    Tested = 2,
    Popular = 3
};

// already defined to print values as e.g. Feature::Fast and Features(0xab)
// for unknown values
Utility::Debug& operator<<(Utility::Debug&, Feature);

typedef Containers::BigEnumSet<Feature> Features;
CORRADE_ENUMSET_OPERATORS(Features)

Utility::Debug& operator<<(Utility::Debug& debug, Features value) {
    return Containers::bigEnumSetDebugOutput(debug, value, "Features{}");
}

The output is then as follows:

// prints Feature::Fast|Feature::Cheap
Utility::Debug{} << (Feature::Fast|Feature::Cheap);

// prints Feature::Popular|Feature(0xca)|Feature(0xfe)
Utility::Debug{} << (Feature::Popular|Feature(0xca)|Feature(0xfe));

// prints Features{}
Utility::Debug{} << Features{};
