Functions

bit_cast (C++20)	reinterpret the object representation of one type as that of another (function template)
has_single_bit (C++20)	checks if a number is an integral power of two (function template)
bit_ceil (C++20)	finds the smallest integral power of two not less than the given value (function template)
bit_floor (C++20)	finds the largest integral power of two not greater than the given value (function template)
bit_width (C++20)	finds the smallest number of bits needed to represent the given value (function template)
rotl (C++20)	computes the result of bitwise left-rotation (function template)
rotr (C++20)	computes the result of bitwise right-rotation (function template)
countl_zero (C++20)	counts the number of consecutive 0 bits, starting from the most significant bit (function template)
countl_one (C++20)	counts the number of consecutive 1 bits, starting from the most significant bit (function template)
countr_zero (C++20)	counts the number of consecutive 0 bits, starting from the least significant bit (function template)
countr_one (C++20)	counts the number of consecutive 1 bits, starting from the least significant bit (function template)
popcount (C++20)	counts the number of 1 bits in an unsigned integer (function template)

Types

endian (C++20)

indicates the endianness of scalar types (enum)
