status = %BIT_IS_CLR(bit, value)
Return value
status
One of the following values: (n)
1 = The bit is clear.
0 = The bit is set.
Arguments
bit
The number of the bit to be evaluated. (n)
value
The value whose binary representation contains the bit to be evaluated. (n)
Discussion
%BIT_IS_CLR evaluates a bit value in the binary representation of a value.
Bit numbering is zero-based. Bit can be 0 through 63 (or 31 on 32-bit systems), corresponding to values 1 through 8000000000000000 (hexadecimal).
|
We recommend using bitwise Boolean operators rather than the %BIT_IS_CLR and %BIT_IS_SET functions. |

Examples
The following example evaluates bit number 2 in the binary representation of 20:
%bit_is_clr(2,20)
Since the binary representation of 20 is 10100, and bit number 2 is actually the third bit from the right, this call to %BIT_IS_CLR returns a value of zero.
The example below translates bit flags and displays their values to the terminal.
