_bittest, _bittest64
Microsoft Specific
Generates the bt instruction, which examines the bit in position b of address a, and returns the value of that bit.
Syntax
unsigned char _bittest(
long const *a,
long b
);
unsigned char _bittest64(
__int64 const *a,
__int64 b
);
Parameters
a
[in] A pointer to the memory to examine.
b
[in] The bit position to test.
Return value
The bit at the position specified.
Requirements
| Intrinsic | Architecture | Header |
|---|---|---|
_bittest |
x86, ARM, x64, ARM64 | <intrin.h> |
_bittest64 |
ARM64, x64 | <intrin.h> |
Remarks
This routine is only available as an intrinsic.
Example
// bittest.cpp
// processor: x86, ARM, x64
#include <stdio.h>
#include <intrin.h>
long num = 78002;
int main()
{
unsigned char bits[32];
long nBit;
printf_s("Number: %d\n", num);
for (nBit = 0; nBit < 31; nBit++)
{
bits[nBit] = _bittest(&num, nBit);
}
printf_s("Binary representation:\n");
while (nBit--)
{
if (bits[nBit])
printf_s("1");
else
printf_s("0");
}
}
Number: 78002
Binary representation:
0000000000000010011000010110010
