## Detailed Description

Sets of integers.

Gtk::Bitset is a data structure for representing a set of unsigned integers. Another name for this data structure is "bitmap".

This version is based on roaring bitmaps.

A bitset allows adding a set of integers and provides support for set operations like unions, intersections and checks for equality or if a value is contained in the set. Gtk::Bitset also contains various functions to query metadata about the bitset, such as the minimum or maximum values or its size.

The fastest way to iterate values in a bitset is Gtk::BitsetConstIter which allows quick iteration of all the values in a bitset.

The main use case for Gtk::Bitset is implementing complex selections for Gtk::SelectionModel.

| inline

## ◆ contains()

bool Gtk::Bitset::contains | ( | guint | value | ) | const

Checks if the given value has been added to self.

Parameters

  value | The value to check.

Returns
  `true` if self contains value.

## ◆ copy()

## ◆ difference()

void Gtk::Bitset::difference | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< const Bitset > & | other | ) |

Sets self to be the symmetric difference of self and other.

The symmetric difference is set self to contain all values that were either contained in self or in other, but not in both. This operation is also called an XOR.

It is allowed for self and other to be the same bitset. The bitset will be emptied in that case.

Parameters

  other | The `Gtk::Bitset` to compute the difference from.

## ◆ end()

const_iterator Gtk::Bitset::end | ( |  | ) | const

## ◆ equals()

bool Gtk::Bitset::equals | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< const Bitset > & | other | ) | const

Returns `true` if self and other contain the same values.

Parameters

  other | Another `Gtk::Bitset`.

Returns
  `true` if self and other contain the same values.

## ◆ get_maximum()

guint Gtk::Bitset::get_maximum | ( |  | ) | const

Returns the largest value in self.

If self is empty, 0 is returned.

Returns
  The largest value in self.

## ◆ get_minimum()

guint Gtk::Bitset::get_minimum | ( |  | ) | const

Returns the smallest value in self.

If self is empty, `G_MAXUINT` is returned.

Returns
  The smallest value in self.

## ◆ get_nth()

guint Gtk::Bitset::get_nth | ( | guint | nth | ) | const

Returns the value of the nth item in self.

If nth is >= the size of self, 0 is returned.

Parameters

  nth | Index of the item to get.

Returns
  The value of the nth item in self.

## ◆ get_size() [1/2]

guint64 Gtk::Bitset::get_size | ( |  | ) | const

Gets the number of values that were added to the set.

For example, if the set is empty, 0 is returned.

Note that this function returns a `guint64`, because when all values are set, the return value is `G_MAXUINT + 1`. Unless you are sure this cannot happen (it can't with `Gio::ListModel`), be sure to use a 64bit type.

Returns
  The number of values in the set.

## ◆ get_size() [2/2]

guint64 Gtk::Bitset::get_size | ( | guint | first,
|  | guint | last ) const

Gets the number of values that are part of the set from first to last (inclusive).

Note that this function returns a `guint64`, because when all values are set, the return value is `G_MAXUINT + 1`. Unless you are sure this cannot happen (it can't with `Gio::ListModel`), be sure to use a 64bit type.

Parameters

  first | The first element to include.
  last | The last element to include.

Returns
  The number of values in the set from first to last.

## ◆ gobj() [1/2]

## ◆ intersect()

void Gtk::Bitset::intersect | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< const Bitset > & | other | ) |

Sets self to be the intersection of self and other.

In other words, remove all values from self that are not part of other.

It is allowed for self and other to be the same bitset. Nothing will happen in that case.

Parameters

  other | The `Gtk::Bitset` to intersect with.

## ◆ is_empty()

bool Gtk::Bitset::is_empty | ( |  | ) | const

Check if no value is contained in bitset.

Returns
  `true` if self is empty.

## ◆ join()

void Gtk::Bitset::join | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< const Bitset > & | other | ) |

Sets self to be the union of self and other.

That is, add all values from other into self that weren't part of it.

It is allowed for self and other to be the same bitset. Nothing will happen in that case.

Parameters

Parameters

  value | Value to remove.

Returns

  n_items | Number of consecutive values to remove.

## ◆ remove_range_closed()

void Gtk::Bitset::remove_range_closed | ( | guint | first,

## ◆ shift_right()

void Gtk::Bitset::shift_right | ( | guint | amount | ) |

Shifts all values in self to the right by amount.

Values that end up too large to be held in a `unsigned int` are discarded.

Parameters

  amount | Amount to shift all values to the right.

## ◆ splice()

void Gtk::Bitset::splice | ( | guint | position,
|  | guint | removed,
|  | guint | value )

This is a support function for `Gio::ListModel` handling, by mirroring the `GlistModel::items-changed` signal.

First, it "cuts" the values from position to removed from the bitset. That is, it removes all those values and shifts all larger values to the left by removed places.

Then, it "pastes" new room into the bitset by shifting all values larger than position by value spaces to the right. This frees up space that can then be filled.

Parameters

  position | Position at which to slice.
  removed | Number of values to remove.
  value | Number of values to add.

In other words, remove all values from self that are part of other.

It is allowed for self and other to be the same bitset. The bitset will be emptied in that case.

Parameters

  other | The `Gtk::Bitset` to subtract.

## ◆ unreference()

void Gtk::Bitset::unreference | ( |  | ) | const

Decrement the reference count for this object.

You should never need to do this manually - use the object via a RefPtr instead.

|  | bool | take_copy = false )
| related
