175.Sh DESCRIPTION
176The
177.Nm
178family of macros provide a flexible and efficient bitset implementation if the
179maximum size of the set is known at compilation.
180Throughout this manual page, the name
181.Fa SETSIZE
182refers to the size of the bitset in bits.
183Individual bits in bitsets are referenced with indices zero through
184.Fa SETSIZE - 1 .
185One example use of
186.In sys/bitset.h
187is
188.In sys/cpuset.h .
189.Pp
190These macros are meant to be used in the kernel and are visible if
191.Dv _KERNEL is defined when
192.In sys/_bitset.h
193or
194.In sys/bitset.h
195are included in a program.
196Userland programs must define
197.Dv _WANT_FREEBSD_BITSET
198before including these files to make the macros visible.
199.Pp
200The
201.Fn BITSET_DEFINE
202macro defines a bitset struct
203.Fa STRUCTNAME
204with room to represent
205.Fa SETSIZE
206bits.
207.Pp
208The
209.Fn BITSET_T_INITIALIZER
210macro allows one to initialize a bitset struct with a compile time literal
211value.
212.Pp
213The
214.Fn BITSET_FSET
215macro generates a compile time literal, usable by
216.Fn BITSET_T_INITIALIZER ,
217representing a full bitset (all bits set).
218For examples of
219.Fn BITSET_T_INITIALIZER
220and
221.Fn BITSET_FSET
222usage, see the
223.Sx BITSET_T_INITIALIZER EXAMPLE
224section.
225The
226.Fa N_WORDS
227parameter to
228.Fn BITSET_FSET
229should be:
230.Bd -literal -offset indent
231__bitset_words(SETSIZE)
232.Ed
233.Pp
234The
235.Fn BIT_CLR
236macro clears bit
237.Fa bit
238in the bitset pointed to by
239.Fa bitset .
240The
241.Fn BIT_CLR_ATOMIC
242macro is identical, but the bit is cleared atomically.
243The
244.Fn BIT_TEST_CLR_ATOMIC
245macro atomically clears the bit and returns whether it was set.
246.Pp
247The
248.Fn BIT_COPY
249macro copies the contents of the bitset
250.Fa from
251to the bitset
252.Fa to .
253.Fn BIT_COPY_STORE_REL
254is similar, but copies component machine words from
255.Fa from
256and writes them to
257.Fa to
258with atomic store with release semantics.
259(That is, if
260.Fa to
261is composed of multiple machine words,
262.Fn BIT_COPY_STORE_REL
263performs multiple individually atomic operations.)
264.Pp
265The
266.Fn BIT_ISSET
267macro returns
268.Dv true
269if the bit
270.Fa bit
271in the bitset pointed to by
272.Fa bitset
273is set.
274.Pp
275The
276.Fn BIT_SET
277macro sets bit
278.Fa bit
279in the bitset pointed to by
280.Fa bitset .
281The
282.Fn BIT_SET_ATOMIC
283macro is identical, but the bit is set atomically.
284The
285.Fn BIT_SET_ATOMIC_ACQ
286macro sets the bit with acquire semantics.
287The
288.Fn BIT_TEST_SET_ATOMIC
289macro atomically sets the bit and returns whether it was set.
290.Pp
291The
292.Fn BIT_ZERO
293macro clears all bits in
294.Fa bitset .
295.Pp
296The
297.Fn BIT_FILL
298macro sets all bits in
299.Fa bitset .
300.Pp
301The
302.Fn BIT_SETOF
303macro clears all bits in
304.Fa bitset
305before setting only bit
306.Fa bit .
307.Pp
308The
309.Fn BIT_EMPTY
310macro returns
311.Dv true
312if
313.Fa bitset
314is empty.
315.Pp
316The
317.Fn BIT_ISFULLSET
318macro returns
319.Dv true
320if
321.Fa bitset
322is full (all bits set).
323.Pp
324The
325.Fn BIT_FFS
326macro returns the 1-index of the first (lowest) set bit in
327.Fa bitset ,
328or zero if
329.Fa bitset
330is empty.
331Like with
332.Xr ffs 3 ,
333to use the non-zero result of
334.Fn BIT_FFS
335as a
336.Fa bit
337index parameter to any other
338.Nm
339macro, you must subtract one from the result.
340.Pp
341The
342.Fn BIT_FFS_AT
343macro returns the 1-index of the first (lowest) set bit in
344.Fa bitset ,
345which is greater than the given 1-indexed
346.Fa start ,
347or zero if no bits in
348.Fa bitset
349greater than
350.Fa start
351are set.
352.Pp
353The
354.Fn BIT_FLS
355macro returns the 1-index of the last (highest) set bit in
356.Fa bitset ,
357or zero if
358.Fa bitset
359is empty.
360Like with
361.Xr fls 3 ,
362to use the non-zero result of
363.Fn BIT_FLS
364as a
365.Fa bit
366index parameter to any other
367.Nm
368macro, you must subtract one from the result.
369.Pp
370The
371.Fn BIT_FOREACH_ISSET
372macro can be used to iterate over all set bits in
373.Fa bitset .
374The index variable
375.Fa bit
376must have been declared with type
377.Ft int ,
378and upon each iteration
379.Fa bit
380is set to the index of successive set bits.
381The value of
382.Fa bit
383after the loop terminates is undefined.
384Similarly,
385.Fn BIT_FOREACH_ISCLR
386iterates over all clear bits in
387.Fa bitset .
388In the loop body, the currently indexed bit may be set or cleared.
389However, setting or clearing bits other than the currently indexed
390bit does not guarantee that they will or will not be returned in
391subsequent iterations of the same loop.
392.Pp
393The
394.Fn BIT_COUNT
395macro returns the total number of set bits in
396.Fa bitset .
397.Pp
398The
399.Fn BIT_SUBSET
400macro returns
401.Dv true
402if
403.Fa needle
404is a subset of
405.Fa haystack .
406.Pp
407The
408.Fn BIT_OVERLAP
409macro returns
410.Dv true
411if
412.Fa bitset1
413and
414.Fa bitset2
415have any common bits.
416(That is, if
417.Fa bitset1
418AND
419.Fa bitset2
420is not the empty set.)
421.Pp
422The
423.Fn BIT_CMP
424macro returns
425.Dv true
426if
427.Fa bitset1
428is NOT equal to
429.Fa bitset2 .
430.Pp
431The
432.Fn BIT_OR
433macro sets bits present in
434.Fa src
435in
436.Fa dst .
437(It is the
438.Nm
439equivalent of the scalar:
440.Fa dst
441|=
442.Fa src . )
443.Fn BIT_OR_ATOMIC
444is similar, but sets bits in the component machine words in
445.Fa dst
446atomically.
447(That is, if
448.Fa dst
449is composed of multiple machine words,
450.Fn BIT_OR_ATOMIC
451performs multiple individually atomic operations.)
452.Pp
453The
454.Fn BIT_OR2
455macro computes
456.Fa src1
457bitwise or
458.Fa src2
459and assigns the result to
460.Fa dst .
461(It is the
462.Nm
463equivalent of the scalar:
464.Fa dst
465=
466.Fa src1
467|
468.Fa src2 . )
469.Pp
470The
471.Fn BIT_ORNOT
472macro sets bits not in
473.Fa src
474in
475.Fa dst .
476(It is the
477.Nm
478equivalent of the scalar:
479.Fa dst
480|=
481.Fa ~ src . )
482.Pp
483The
484.Fn BIT_ORNOT2
485macro computes
486.Fa src1
487bitwise or not
488.Fa src2
489and assigns the result to
490.Fa dst .
491(It is the
492.Nm
493equivalent of the scalar:
494.Fa dst
495=
496.Fa src1
497| ~
498.Fa src2 . )
499.Pp
500The
501.Fn BIT_AND
502macro clears bits absent from
503.Fa src
504from
505.Fa dst .
506(It is the
507.Nm
508equivalent of the scalar:
509.Fa dst
510&=
511.Fa src . )
512.Fn BIT_AND_ATOMIC
513is similar, with the same atomic semantics as
514.Fn BIT_OR_ATOMIC .
515.Pp
516The
517.Fn BIT_AND2
518macro computes
519.Fa src1
520bitwise and
521.Fa src2
522and assigns the result to
523.Fa dst .
524(It is the
525.Nm
526equivalent of the scalar:
527.Fa dst
528=
529.Fa src1
530&
531.Fa src2 . )
532.Pp
533The
534.Fn BIT_ANDNOT
535macro clears bits set in
536.Fa src
537from
538.Fa dst .
539(It is the
540.Nm
541equivalent of the scalar:
542.Fa dst
543&=
544.Fa ~ src . )
545.Pp
546The
547.Fn BIT_ANDNOT2
548macro computes
549.Fa src1
550bitwise and not
551.Fa src2
552and assigns the result to
553.Fa dst .
554(It is the

556equivalent of the scalar:

562.Pp
563The
564.Fn BIT_XOR

580bitwise exclusive or

582and assigns the result to

607.Sh HISTORY
608The
609.Nm
610macros first appeared in
611.Fx 10.0
612in January 2014.
613They were MFCed to
614.Fx 9.3 ,
615released in July 2014.

617This manual page first appeared in

621The
622.Nm
623macros were generalized and pulled out of
624.In sys/cpuset.h
625as
626.In sys/_bitset.h
627and
628.In sys/bitset.h
629by

633.Sh CAVEATS
634The
635.Fa SETSIZE
636argument to all of these macros must match the value given to
637.Fn BITSET_DEFINE .
638.Pp
639Unlike every other reference to individual set members, which are zero-indexed,
640.Fn BIT_FFS ,
641.Fn BIT_FFS_AT
642and
643.Fn BIT_FLS
644return a one-indexed result (or zero if the set is empty).
645.Pp
646In order to use the macros defined in
647.In sys/bitset.h
648and
649.In sys/_bitset.h
650in userland programs,
651.Dv _WANT_FREEBSD_BITSET
652has to be defined before including the header files.
653This requirements exists to prevent a name space pollution due to macros defined in
654.Nm
655in programs that include
656.In sys/cpuset.h
657or
658.In sched.h .
659
