bit::polynomial::reference — Proxy Class
bit::polynomial::reference is a publicly accessible nested proxy class that lets users interact with individual polynomial coefficients naturally.
The primary use of this class is to provide an l-value that can be returned from operator[] in the bit::polynomial class.
It is needed because the bit::polynomial class stores a cached degree variable that may need to get updated if you write to an individual coefficient.
Profiling shows that precomputing the polynomial degree can significantly improve the class’s efficiency for at least some exacting use cases.
Member Functions
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
constructor |
The bit-polynomial operator[] method automatically constructs a bit::polynomial::reference as needed. |
operator= |
Assigns a bool to the referenced coefficient. |
to_bool |
Return the value of the referenced coefficient as a boolean. |
operator bool |
Casts the referenced coefficient to a boolean value. |
import_bits |
Sets the value of the referenced polynomial coefficient to the passed argument. |
set |
Sets the referenced polynomial coefficient to 1. |
reset |
Sets the referenced polynomial coefficient to 0. |
flip |
Flips the referenced referenced polynomial coefficient from 1 to 0 and vice versa. |
