Combining Enum Value using Bitmask

Question

I understand it\'s possible to use bitmasks in enum values, but I don\'t know how to create it.

I have a simple enum :

enum State
{
    minimizing = 0,
          


        

Answer 1

I just tried this in VS2012, the optimizer seems to correctly combine bits without any need for assistance if you're using bitfields.

struct BITS { int x: 1; int y:1; };

then

BITS b;
b.x = b.y = 1;

Sets both bits with one instruction.
