[libcamera-devel] [PATCH v2 1/5] libcamera: flags: Add type-safe enum-based flags

Sun Jul 25 19:18:23 CEST 2021


Add a Flags template class that provide type-safe bitwise operators on
enum values. This allows using enum types for bit fields, without giving
away type-safety as usually done when storing combined flags in integer
variables.
