std::ostream & | operator (std::ostream &out, const Qitmask1< T > &mask) |
A small but extremely fast "base 4 bitmask" class that can store up to 8 * sizeof(T) "qits", each equal to 0, 1, 2 or 3.
This qitmask packs all of the qits together into two variables of type T. This means that operations on qitmasks are extremely fast, because all of the qits can be processed in just a few native CPU operations.
The downside of course is that the number of qits that can be stored is limited to 8 * sizeof(T), where T must be a native unsigned integer type (such as unsigned char, unsigned int, or unsigned long long).
For another extremely fast qitmask class that can store twice as many qits, see Qitmask2. At present there is no qitmask class in Regina that can store arbitrarily many qits.
