问题
what is the best way to concatenate 2 bitsets?
For example i've got
boost::dynamic_bitset<> test1( std::string("1111") );
boost::dynamic_bitset<> test2( std::string("00") );
they should be concatenated into a thrid Bitset test3 which then holds
111100
Solutions should use boost::dynamic_bitset. If the solution works with std::bitset, it would be nice too. There should be a focus on performance when concatenating the bits.
UPDATE: I've compared both methods (stringmethod from me and Neil and shiftmethod from messenger) and the stringmethod was a lot faster (factor 10++). Code here: http://pastebin.com/HfpfYfy8
I hope Pastebin is ok for posting long code-listings. If there is a better way please contact me.

For the standard bitset, something like:
#include <bitset>
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
template <size_t N1, size_t N2 >
bitset <N1 + N2> concat( const bitset <N1> & b1, const bitset <N2> & b2 ) {
string s1 = b1.to_string();
string s2 = b2.to_string();
return bitset <N1 + N2>( s1 + s2 );
}
int main() {
bitset <4> a( string("1010") );
bitset <2> b( string("11") );
cout << concat( a, b ) << endl;
}

I've tested several solutions and it seems that :
- a good old "for loop" is the fastest
- bitset is a lot faster than dynamic_bitset (not surprising), if no memory allocation is needed the overhead is lower but still exists.
- It may seems obvious but, directly append a bitset to another without creating a new one is a faster. This solution is not suitable if you need to keep the first bitset unchanged (obvious too).
- The 3 solutions don't produces the same result, you have to do some tuning depending on want you want(see below).
Here is my test code :
#include <iostream>
#include <bitset>
#include <boost/dynamic_bitset/dynamic_bitset.hpp>
#include "scul/PreciseTimer.h"
boost::dynamic_bitset<> concatOperatorsDyn( const boost::dynamic_bitset<>& bs1,const boost::dynamic_bitset<>& bs2)
{
boost::dynamic_bitset<> bs1Copy(bs1);
boost::dynamic_bitset<> bs2Copy(bs2);
size_t totalSize=bs1.size()+bs2.size();
bs1Copy.resize(totalSize);
bs2Copy.resize(totalSize);
bs1Copy<<=bs2.size();
bs1Copy|=bs2Copy;
return bs1Copy;
}
template<size_t sRes,size_t s1,size_t s2>
std::bitset<sRes> concatString( const std::bitset<s1>& bs1,const std::bitset<s2>& bs2)

std::string s1=bs1.to_string<char,std::char_traits<char>,std::allocator<char> >();
std::string s2=bs2.to_string<char,std::char_traits<char>,std::allocator<char> >();
std::bitset<sRes> res(s1+s2);
return res;
}

You can notice that the function I wrote using loops produce differents results. It's because I wrote then to put the lsb of the second bitset after the msb of the first one (lsb on the right). With the string or "bit operator" function you just have to switch the calling parameters.
回答3:
I ran a test comparing the following two approaches:
/* ... */
for( int ii = 0; ii < 1000000; ++ii ) {
std::bitset<16> v1( randomUlongs[ii] );
std::bitset<16> v2( randomUlongs[ii+1] );
#ifdef STRING_TEST
std::bitset<32> v3( v1.to_string() + v2.to_string() );
#else
std::bitset<32> v3( v2.to_ulong() | (v1.to_ulong() << 16) );
/* print out v3 */
}
... where randomUlongs was constant during each run (a large array in a header) to avoid anything contaminating results. I timed it with:
~ time for ((ii=0; ii<1000; ii++)); do ./bitset_test >/dev/null; done
Under Linux (x86_i686) with gcc 4.4.6 at optimization level 3: the string concatenation was fastest, by a factor of 2.
Under Solaris (sparc) with gcc 3.4.3 and Sun Studio C++ 5.12 (2011/11/16), both with optimization level 3: the non-string approach was fastest by a factor of 10.
I think you'll find the "fastest" solution is highly dependent on the compiler, though I suppose platform could play a significant role as well.
回答4:
For getting started, i'll add a possible solution by myself. The following code uses the possibility to construct bitsets with std::string and to generate a std::string from a bitset.
#include <sstream> // for std::ostringstream
#include <boost/dynamic_bitset.hpp>
boost::dynamic_bitset<> test1( std::string("1111") );
boost::dynamic_bitset<> test2( std::string("00") );
std::ostringstream bitsetConcat;
bitsetConcat << test1 << test2;
boost::dynamic_bitset<> test3( bitsetConcat.str() );
std::cout << test3 << std::endl;
This works, but there must be other, more performant solutions...
Update:
Thanks to J. C. Leitão for his edit-suggestion
回答5:
Here is a stab at a solution. Not sure if it compiles.
typedef boost::dynamic_bitset<> Bits;
Bits Concatenate(const Bits& first, const Bits& second)
{
Bits value(first);
//Increase the size of the bit buffer to fit the data being placed in it
value.resize(first.size() + second.size());
value <<= second.size();
value |= second;
return value;
}
