backtracking / bitv Goto Github PK

Hi Jean-Christophe,

Just for your information, maybe you will be interested
by what they have in here:
https://github.com/janestreet/base/blob/master/src/popcount.ml

Regards,
Francois.

So, the ocamldoc doesn't show up in ocp-browser when I type 'Bitv.create' then hit the spacebar.
Also, this will prevent Bitv from being indexed by the soon to come Hoogle for OCaml service.

if the repository doesn't contain an opam file; then it cannot be pinned with opam

Could you add equal, compare and hash functions on Bitv.t?

Thank you!

since there were corrections to compile with 4.06.0.
Thanks!
F.

What are the reasons to prefer bitv to zarith?

The following functions are missing but could be easily added:

• sub -> extract
• fill
• blit
• setbit, clearbit or set

So that users can access the underlying array, and, for example,
use hardware accelerated popcount on the whole bitstring
when performance requires it.

Would you be OK with such a pull request?

I believe the following documentation for the machine-independent format is incorrect:

If the software was git tagged, we could see the different releases (corresp. to git tags) in there: https://github.com/backtracking/bitv/releases

Is there something like the stdlib's Buffer module to accumulate many bits
before finally storing them on disk ?
Later, I'd like to read them back in of course.
