Several bit operations and manipulations, also known as 'bit hacks'.
Please note that the coverage results do not include the function macros, although those are tested in the unit tests.
Documentation can be found in the documentation page, and for the
function macros and functions on the BitOperations.h documentation
page.
For the functions that are based on Sean Eron Anderson's Bit Twiddling Hacks
the arithmetics are explained on Joe Gibson's markdown version of
Sean Eron Anderson's Bit Twiddling Hacks.
In order to use this code the only thing that you need to do is copy BitOperations.h and BitOperations.c to your project and
include BitOperations.h in the files where you intend to use the BitOperations. These two files can be found in every
release in the source and source/src folders respectively.
The unit tests use greatest by Scott Vokes. Greatest is licensed under a custom

The purpose of this unit test is not to verify that the arithmetic is correct, because Sean Eron Anderson already tested that thoroughly.
This unit test verifies that the implementation is correct.
All the functions and function macros are tested by the unit tests, of which the log can be found in every travis build or in every AppVeyor build.
