Insert uninitialized bits into a bit string.

== Synopsis

Declared in `<bdlb_bitstringutil.h>`

[source,cpp,subs="verbatim,replacements,macros,-callouts"]
----
static
void
insertRaw(
    uint64_t* bitString,
    std::size_t initialLength,
    std::size_t dstIndex,
    std::size_t numBits);
----

== Description

Insert the specified `numBits` into the specified `bitString` having the specified `initialLength` beginning at the specified `dstIndex`. Bits at or above `dstIndex` are shifted up by `numBits` index positions and the length of `bitString` is increased by `numBits`. The values of the inserted bits are undefined. The behavior is undefined unless `dstIndex <= initialLength` and `bitString` has a capacity of at least `initialLength + numBits`. Note that the inserted bits are not assigned any value.

== Parameters
