Proposed resolution:
Add a declaration of the new member function all()
to the
defintion of the bitset
template in [template.bitset], p1,
right above the declaration of any()
as shown below:
bool operator!=(const bitset<N>& rhs) const; bool test(size_t pos) const; bool all() const; bool any() const; bool none() const;
Add a description of the new member function to the end of [bitset.members] with the following text:
bool all() const;
Returns:
count() == size()
.
In addition, change the description of any()
and
none()
for consistency with all()
as
follows:
bool any() const;
Returns:
true
if any bit in*this
is onecount() != 0
.
bool none() const;
Returns:
true
if no bit in*this
is onecount() == 0
.
The bitset
class template provides the member function
any()
to determine whether an object of the type has any
bits set, and the member function none()
to determine
whether all of an object's bits are clear. However, the template does
not provide a corresponding function to discover whether a
bitset
object has all its bits set. While it is
possible, even easy, to obtain this information by comparing the
result of count()
with the result of size()
for equality (i.e., via b.count() == b.size()
) the
operation is less efficient than a member function designed
specifically for that purpose could be. (count()
must
count all non-zero bits in a bitset
a word at a time
while all()
could stop counting as soon as it encountered
the first word with a zero bit).
