std::bit_floor

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | numeric
 
 
 
Defined in header <bit>
template< class T >
constexpr T bit_floor( T x ) noexcept;
(since C++20)

If x is not zero, calculates the largest integral power of two that is not greater than x. If x is zero, returns zero.

This overload participates in overload resolution only if T is an unsigned integer type (that is, unsigned char, unsigned short, unsigned int, unsigned long, unsigned long long, or an extended unsigned integer type).

[edit] Parameters

x - unsigned integer value

[edit] Return value

Zero if x is zero; otherwise, the largest integral power of two that is not greater than x.

[edit] Possible implementation

template<std::unsigned_integral T>
    requires !std::same_as<T, bool> && !std::same_as<T, char> &&
             !std::same_as<T, char8_t> && !std::same_as<T, char16_t> &&
             !std::same_as<T, char32_t> && !std::same_as<T, wchar_t>
constexpr T bit_floor(T x) noexcept
{
    if (x != 0)
        return T{1} << (std::bit_width(x) - 1);
    return 0;
}

[edit] Example

#include <bit>
#include <bitset>
#include <iostream>
 
int main()
{
    using bin = std::bitset<8>;
 
    for (unsigned x = 0; x != 10; ++x)
    {
        auto const z = std::bit_floor(x); // `floor2` before P1956R1
        std::cout << "bit_floor( " << bin(x) << " ) = " << bin(z) << '\n';
    }
}

Output:

bit_floor( 00000000 ) = 00000000
bit_floor( 00000001 ) = 00000001
bit_floor( 00000010 ) = 00000010
bit_floor( 00000011 ) = 00000010
bit_floor( 00000100 ) = 00000100
bit_floor( 00000101 ) = 00000100
bit_floor( 00000110 ) = 00000100
bit_floor( 00000111 ) = 00000100
bit_floor( 00001000 ) = 00001000
bit_floor( 00001001 ) = 00001000
