BitBufferCpp

C++ buffer class that allows you to write a stream of individual bits and bytes

Installation

To compile and run the test file:

$ git clone https://github.com/Aadeshp/BitBufferCpp.git
$ cd BitBufferCpp && make

How To Use

#include "/path/to/bit_buffer.hpp"
#include <iostream>

bit_buffer bb;
bb.write_bits(true, 1);
bb.write_bits(false, 1);
bb.write_bits(2, 2);
bb.write_bits(10, 4);
bb.write_byte(100);

std::cout << bb.read_bit(0) << std::endl;      // Prints out 1 (aka true)
std::cout << bb.read_bit(1) << std::endl;      // Prints out 0 (aka false)
std::cout << bb.read_bits(2, 2) << std::endl;  // Prints out 2
std::cout << bb.read_bits(4, 4) << std::endl;  // Prints out 10
std::cout << bb.read_byte(1) << std::endl;     // Prints out 100
std::cout << bb.read_bits(8, 8) << std::endl;  // Prints out 100
std::cout << bb.read_byte(0) << std::endl;     // 1010 1010, so it prints out 170
std::cout << bb.read_bytes(0, 2) << std::endl; // 1010 1010 0110 0100, so it prints out 43620

// Iterators

// Bit Iterator
for (bit_buffer::iterator iter = bb.begin(); iter != bb.end(); ++iter) {
    uint8_t bit = *iter;

    // Do stuff with bit
}

for (auto& bit : bb) {
    // Do stuff with bit
}

// Byte iterator
for (auto& byte : bb.get_bytes()) {
    // Do stuff with byte
}
