std::byte(3) | C++ Standard Libary | std::byte(3) |
NAME¶
std::byte - std::byte
Synopsis¶
Defined in header <cstddef>
enum class byte : unsigned char {} ; (since C++17)
std::byte is a distinct type that implements the concept of byte as specified
in the
C++ language definition.
Like char and unsigned char, it can be used to access raw memory occupied by
other
objects (object representation), but unlike those types, it is not a
character type
and is not an arithmetic type. A byte is only a collection of bits, and the
only
operators defined for it are the bitwise ones.
Non-member functions¶
std::to_integer
template <class IntegerType> (since C++17)
constexpr IntegerType to_integer( std::byte b ) noexcept;
Equivalent to: return IntegerType(b); This overload participates in overload
resolution only if std::is_integral_v<IntegerType> is true.
std::operator<<=,operator>>=
template <class IntegerType>
constexpr std::byte& operator<<=( std::byte& b, IntegerType
shift (1) (since C++17)
) noexcept;
template <class IntegerType>
constexpr std::byte& operator>>=( std::byte& b, IntegerType
shift (2) (since C++17)
) noexcept;
1) Equivalent to: return b = b << shift; This overload participates in
overload
resolution only if std::is_integral_v<IntegerType> is true.
2) Equivalent to: return b = b >> shift;
This overload participates in overload resolution only if
std::is_integral_v<IntegerType> is true.
std::operator<<,operator>>
template <class IntegerType>
constexpr std::byte operator <<( std::byte b, IntegerType shift )
(1) (since C++17)
noexcept;
template <class IntegerType>
constexpr std::byte operator >>( std::byte b, IntegerType shift )
(2) (since C++17)
noexcept;
1) Equivalent to: return std::byte(static_cast<unsigned int>(b)
<< shift); This
overload participates in overload resolution only if
std::is_integral_v<IntegerType>
is true.
2) Equivalent to: return std::byte(static_cast<unsigned int>(b)
>> shift);
This overload participates in overload resolution only if
std::is_integral_v<IntegerType> is true.
std::operator|=,operator&=,operator^=
constexpr std::byte& operator|=( std::byte& l, std::byte r )
(1) (since C++17)
noexcept;
constexpr std::byte& operator&=( std::byte& l, std::byte r )
(2) (since C++17)
noexcept;
constexpr std::byte& operator^=( std::byte& l, std::byte r )
(3) (since C++17)
noexcept;
1) Equivalent to: return l = l | r;.
2) Equivalent to: return l = l & r;.
3) Equivalent to: return l = l ^ r;.
std::operator|,operator&,operator^,operator~
constexpr std::byte operator|( std::byte l, std::byte r ) (1)
(since C++17)
noexcept;
constexpr std::byte operator&( std::byte l, std::byte r ) (2)
(since C++17)
noexcept;
constexpr std::byte operator^( std::byte l, std::byte r ) (3)
(since C++17)
noexcept;
constexpr std::byte operator~( std::byte b ) noexcept; (4) (since
C++17)
1) Equivalent to: return std::byte(static_cast<unsigned int>(l) |
static_cast<unsigned int>(r));.
2) Equivalent to: return std::byte(static_cast<unsigned int>(l) &
static_cast<unsigned int>(r));.
3) Equivalent to: return std::byte(static_cast<unsigned int>(l) ^
static_cast<unsigned int>(r));.
4) Equivalent to: return std::byte(~static_cast<unsigned int>(b));
Notes¶
A numeric value n can be converted to a byte value using
std::byte{n}, due to C++17
relaxed enum class initialization rules.
A byte can be converted to a numeric value (such as to produce an integer
hash of an
object) using std::to_integer.
Feature-test macro: __cpp_lib_byte
Example¶
// Run this code
#include <iostream>
#include <cstddef>
#include <bitset>
std::ostream& operator<< (std::ostream& os, std::byte b) {
return os << std::bitset<8>(std::to_integer<int>(b));
}
int main()
{
std::byte b{42};
std::cout << "1. " << b << '\n';
// b *= 2 compilation error
b <<= 1;
std::cout << "2. " << b << '\n';
b >>= 1;
std::cout << "3. " << b << '\n';
std::cout << "4. " << (b << 1) << '\n';
std::cout << "5. " << (b >> 1) << '\n';
b |= std::byte{0b11110000};
std::cout << "6. " << b << '\n';
b &= std::byte{0b11110000};
std::cout << "7. " << b << '\n';
b ^= std::byte{0b11111111};
std::cout << "8. " << b << '\n';
}
