Macro Definition Documentation

◆ BITFIELD

#define BITFIELD (   NAME,
  SIZE 
)    uint8_t NAME[((SIZE) + 7) / 8]

Declare a bitfield of a given size.

Note
SIZE should be a constant expression. This avoids variable length arrays.

Definition at line 46 of file bitfield.h.

Function Documentation

◆ bf_get_unset()

int bf_get_unset ( uint8_t  field[],
int  size 
)

Atomically get the number of an unset bit and set it.

This function can be used to record e.g., empty entries in an array.

Parameters
[in,out]fieldThe bitfield
[in]sizeThe size of the bitfield
Returns
number of bit that was set
-1 if no bit was unset

◆ bf_isset()

static bool bf_isset ( uint8_t  field[],
size_t  idx 
)
inlinestatic

Check if the bet is set.

Parameters
[in,out]fieldThe bitfield
[in]idxThe number of the bit to check

Definition at line 87 of file bitfield.h.

◆ bf_set()

static void bf_set ( uint8_t  field[],
size_t  idx 
)
inlinestatic

Set the bit to 1.

Parameters
[in,out]fieldThe bitfield
[in]idxThe number of the bit to set

Definition at line 54 of file bitfield.h.

◆ bf_toggle()

static void bf_toggle ( uint8_t  field[],
size_t  idx 
)
inlinestatic

Toggle the bit.

Parameters
[in,out]fieldThe bitfield
[in]idxThe number of the bit to toggle

Definition at line 76 of file bitfield.h.

◆ bf_unset()

static void bf_unset ( uint8_t  field[],
size_t  idx 
)
inlinestatic

Clear the bit.

Parameters
[in,out]fieldThe bitfield
[in]idxThe number of the bit to clear

Definition at line 65 of file bitfield.h.
