template< class T > constexpr int bit_width( T x ) noexcept; |
(since C++20) | |
If x is not zero, calculates the number of bits needed to store the value x, that is, 1 + floor(log2(x)). If x is zero, returns zero.
This overload participates in overload resolution only if T
is an unsigned integer type (that is, unsigned char, unsigned short, unsigned int, unsigned long, unsigned long long, or an extended unsigned integer type).
Contents |
[edit] Parameters
x | - | unsigned integer value |
[edit] Return value
Zero if x is zero; otherwise, one plus the base-2 logarithm of x, with any fractional part discarded.
[edit] Notes
This function is equivalent to return std::numeric_limits<T>::digits - std::countl_zero(x);.
Feature-test macro | Value | Std | Feature |
---|---|---|---|
__cpp_lib_int_pow2 |
202002L | (C++20) | Integral power-of-2 operations |
[edit] Example
Run this code
#include <bit> #include <bitset> #include <iostream> int main() { for (unsigned x{}; x != 010; ++x) std::cout << "bit_width( " << std::bitset<4>{x} << " ) = " << std::bit_width(x) << '\n'; }
Output:
bit_width( 0000 ) = 0 bit_width( 0001 ) = 1 bit_width( 0010 ) = 2 bit_width( 0011 ) = 2 bit_width( 0100 ) = 3 bit_width( 0101 ) = 3 bit_width( 0110 ) = 3 bit_width( 0111 ) = 3
[edit] Defect reports
The following behavior-changing defect reports were applied retroactively to previously published C++ standards.
