Overview ▾

Package bits implements bit counting and manipulation functions for the predeclared unsigned integer types.

Functions in this package may be implemented directly by the compiler, for better performance. For those functions the code in this package will not be used. Which functions are implemented by the compiler depends on the architecture and the Go release.

Constants

UintSize is the size of a uint in bits. 

const UintSize = uintSize

func Add 1.12 

func Add(x, y, carry uint) (sum, carryOut uint)

Add returns the sum with carry of x, y and carry: sum = x + y + carry. The carry input must be 0 or 1; otherwise the behavior is undefined. The carryOut output is guaranteed to be 0 or 1.

This function's execution time does not depend on the inputs.

func Add32 1.12 

func Add32(x, y, carry uint32) (sum, carryOut uint32)

Add32 returns the sum with carry of x, y and carry: sum = x + y + carry. The carry input must be 0 or 1; otherwise the behavior is undefined. The carryOut output is guaranteed to be 0 or 1.

This function's execution time does not depend on the inputs.

▾ Example

func Sub 1.12 

func Sub(x, y, borrow uint) (diff, borrowOut uint)

Sub returns the difference of x, y and borrow: diff = x - y - borrow. The borrow input must be 0 or 1; otherwise the behavior is undefined. The borrowOut output is guaranteed to be 0 or 1.
