BloombergLP::bdlc::BitArray::operator<<=

Left-shift this bit array by numBits positions.

Synopsis

Declared in <bdlc_bitarray.h>

BitArray&
operator<<=(std::size_t numBits);

Description

Shift the bits in this array LEFT by the specified numBits, filling lower-order bits with zeros (retaining the results), and return a non-const reference to this object. The behavior is undefined unless numBits <= length(). Note that the length of this array is unchanged and the highest-order numBits are discarded.

Return Value

non-const reference to this object

Parameters

NameDescription
numBitsnumber of bit positions to shift left
