Lua Bit Operations Module

http://bitop.luajit.org/index.html

Lua BitOp is a C extension module for Lua 5.1/5.2which adds bitwise operations on numbers.

Lua BitOp is Copyright © 2008-2012 Mike Pall.Lua BitOp is free software, released under theMIT license(same license as the Lua core).

Features

• Supported functions:bit.tobit, bit.tohex, bit.bnot, bit.band, bit.bor, bit.bxor,bit.lshift, bit.rshift, bit.arshift, bit.rol, bit.ror, bit.bswap
• Consistent semanticsacross 16, 32 and 64 bit platforms.
• Supports different lua_Number types:either IEEE 754 doubles, int32_t or int64_t.
• Runs on Linux, *BSD, Mac OS X, Windows and probably anything elseyou can find.
• Simple installation on all systems.No bulky configure scripts. Embedded-systems-friendly.
• Internal self-test on startup to detect miscompiles.Includes a comprehensive test and benchmark suite.
• Compatible with the built-in bitwise operations inLuaJIT 2.0.
• It's as fast as you can get with the standard Lua/C API.

This release adds compatibility with both Lua 5.1 and Lua 5.2.

Embedding Lua BitOp

If you're embedding Lua into your application, it's quite simple toadd Lua BitOp as a static module:

1. Copy the file bit.c from the Lua BitOp distributionto your Lua source code directory.

2. Add this file to your build script (e.g. modify the Makefile) orimport it as a build dependency in your IDE.

3. Edit lualib.h and add the following two lines:

#define LUA_BITLIBNAME "bit"
LUALIB_API int luaopen_bit(lua_State *L);

4. Edit linit.c and add this immediately before the linewith {NULL, NULL}:

  {LUA_BITLIBNAME, luaopen_bit},

5. Now recompile and you're done!
