C++ binary constant/literal

Question

I\'m using a well known template to allow binary constants

template< unsigned long long N >
struct binary
{
  enum { value = (N % 10) + 2 * binary<          


        

Answer 1

A simple #define works very well:

#define HEX__(n) 0x##n##LU

#define B8__(x) ((x&0x0000000FLU)?1:0)\
               +((x&0x000000F0LU)?2:0)\
              +((x&0x00000F00LU)?4:0)\
               +((x&0x0000F000LU)?8:0)\
               +((x&0x000F0000LU)?16:0)\
               +((x&0x00F00000LU)?32:0)\
               +((x&0x0F000000LU)?64:0)\
               +((x&0xF0000000LU)?128:0)

#define B8(d) ((unsigned char)B8__(HEX__(d)))
#define B16(dmsb,dlsb) (((unsigned short)B8(dmsb)<<8) + B8(dlsb))
#define B32(dmsb,db2,db3,dlsb) (((unsigned long)B8(dmsb)<<24) + ((unsigned long)B8(db2)<<16) + ((unsigned long)B8(db3)<<8) + B8(dlsb))

B8(011100111)
B16(10011011,10011011)
B32(10011011,10011011,10011011,10011011)

Not my invention, I saw it on a forum a long time ago.
