Overview ▾

Package bitset implements bitsets, a mapping between non-negative integers and boolean values. It should be more efficient than map[uint] bool.

It provides methods for setting, clearing, flipping, and testing individual integers.

But it also provides set intersection, union, difference, complement, and symmetric operations, as well as tests to check whether any, all, or no bits are set, and querying a bitset's current length and number of positive bits.

BitSets are expanded to the size of the largest set bit; the memory allocation is approximately Max bits, where Max is the largest set bit. BitSets are never shrunk. On creation, a hint can be given for the number of bits that will be used.

Many of the methods, including Set,Clear, and Flip, return a BitSet pointer, which allows for chaining.

Example use:

import "bitset"
var b BitSet
b.Set(10).Set(11)
if b.Test(1000) {
	b.Clear(1000)
}
if B.Intersection(bitset.New(100).Set(10)).Count() > 1 {
	fmt.Println("Intersection works.")
}

As an alternative to BitSets, one should check out the 'big' package, which provides a (less set-theoretical) view of bitsets.

func (b *BitSet) FlipRange(start, end uint) *BitSet

FlipRange bit in [start, end). If end>= Cap(), this function will panic. Warning: using a very large value for 'end' may lead to a memory shortage and a panic: the caller is responsible for providing sensible parameters in line with their memory capacity.

InPlaceUnion creates the destructive union of base set and compare set. This is the BitSet equivalent of | (or).

func (*BitSet) InsertAt

func (b *BitSet) InsertAt(idx uint) *BitSet

InsertAt takes an index which indicates where a bit should be inserted. Then it shifts all the bits in the set to the left by 1, starting from the given index position, and sets the index position to 0.

Depending on the size of your BitSet, and where you are inserting the new entry, this method could be extremely slow and in some cases might cause the entire BitSet to be recopied.

func (*BitSet) Len

func (b *BitSet) Len() uint

Len returns the number of bits in the BitSet. Note the difference to method Count, see example.

Example

Code:

var b BitSet
b.Set(8)
fmt.Println("len", b.Len())
fmt.Println("count", b.Count())

Output:

len 9
count 1

func (*BitSet) MarshalBinary

MarshalBinary encodes a BitSet into a binary form and returns the result.

func (*BitSet) MarshalJSON

func (b *BitSet) MarshalJSON() ([]byte, error)

MarshalJSON marshals a BitSet as a JSON structure

func (*BitSet) NextClear

func (b *BitSet) NextClear(i uint) (uint, bool)

NextClear returns the next clear bit from the specified index, including possibly the current index along with an error code (true = valid, false = no bit found i.e. all bits are set)

func (*BitSet) NextSet

func (b *BitSet) NextSet(i uint) (uint, bool)

NextSet returns the next bit set from the specified index, including possibly the current index along with an error code (true = valid, false = no set bit found) for i,e := v.NextSet(0); e; i,e = v.NextSet(i + 1) {...}

Users concerned with performance may want to use NextSetMany to retrieve several values at once.

func (*BitSet) NextSetMany

func (b *BitSet) NextSetMany(i uint, buffer []uint) (uint, []uint)

NextSetMany returns many next bit sets from the specified index, including possibly the current index and up to cap(buffer). If the returned slice has len zero, then no more set bits were found

buffer := make([]uint, 256) // this should be reused
j := uint(0)
j, buffer = bitmap.NextSetMany(j, buffer)
for ; len(buffer) > 0; j, buffer = bitmap.NextSetMany(j,buffer) {
 for k := range buffer {
  do something with buffer[k]
 }
 j += 1
}

It is possible to retrieve all set bits as follow:

indices := make([]uint, bitmap.Count())
bitmap.NextSetMany(0, indices)

However if bitmap.Count() is large, it might be preferable to use several calls to NextSetMany, for performance reasons.

func (*BitSet) None

func (b *BitSet) None() bool

None returns true if no bit is set, false otherwise. Returns true for empty sets.

func (*BitSet) ReadFrom

func (b *BitSet) ReadFrom(stream io.Reader) (int64, error)

ReadFrom reads a BitSet from a stream written using WriteTo

func (*BitSet) Set

func (b *BitSet) Set(i uint) *BitSet

Set bit i to 1, the capacity of the bitset is automatically increased accordingly. If i>= Cap(), this function will panic. Warning: using a very large value for 'i' may lead to a memory shortage and a panic: the caller is responsible for providing sensible parameters in line with their memory capacity.

func (*BitSet) SetTo

func (b *BitSet) SetTo(i uint, value bool) *BitSet

SetTo sets bit i to value. If i>= Cap(), this function will panic. Warning: using a very large value for 'i' may lead to a memory shortage and a panic: the caller is responsible for providing sensible parameters in line with their memory capacity.

func (*BitSet) Shrink

func (b *BitSet) Shrink(lastbitindex uint) *BitSet

Shrink shrinks BitSet so that the provided value is the last possible set value. It clears all bits > the provided index and reduces the size and length of the set.

Note that the parameter value is not the new length in bits: it is the maximal value that can be stored in the bitset after the function call. The new length in bits is the parameter value + 1. Thus it is not possible to use this function to set the length to 0, the minimal value of the length after this function call is 1.

A new slice is allocated to store the new bits, so you may see an increase in memory usage until the GC runs. Normally this should not be a problem, but if you have an extremely large BitSet its important to understand that the old BitSet will remain in memory until the GC frees it.
