Fixed-bit collections in Julia

This package implements a few collection types that can be stored in one or a few machine integers:

  • DigitSet: A set of integers 0:63
  • StackSet: A set of integers N:N+63
  • StackVector{L}: A boolean vector with a length L of up to 64.
  • OneHotVector: A boolean vector with exactly one value true, rest false.

The main features of the types are:

  • They are simple to use, implements the basic methods from Base you would expect such as union for sets and reverse for vectors:
julia> a = StackVector{4}([true, true, false, true]); reverse(a)
4-element StackVector{4}:
 1
 0
 1
 1
  • They are safe by default, and throws informative error messages if you attempt illegal or undefined operations.
julia> push(DigitSet(), 100)
ERROR: ArgumentError: DigitSet can only contain 0:63
  • All types are immutable and so easier to reason about. Base methods that usually end with an exclamation mark such as push! instead must use push.
julia> push!(DigitSet(), 100)
ERROR: MethodError: no method matching push!(::DigitSet, ::Int64)
  • They are highly efficiently implemented, with most methods meticulously crafted for maximal performance.
julia> f(x, y) = length(setdiff(x, symdiff(x, y)));

julia> code_native(f, (DigitSet, DigitSet), debuginfo=:none)
    .section    __TEXT,__text,regular,pure_instructions
    movq    (%rsi), %rax
    andq    (%rdi), %rax
    popcntq %rax, %rax
    retq
    nopl    (%rax)

This API follows SemVer 2.0.0. The API for this package is defined by the documentation.
