Synopsis

Expression semantics
--------------------

For any |Integral Constant|\ s |c1...cn|:


.. parsed-literal::

    typedef bitand_<c1,\ |...|\ c\ *n*\>::type r; 

:Return type:
    |Integral Constant|.

:Semantics:
    Equivalent to 
        
    .. parsed-literal::
    
        typedef integral_c<
              typeof(c1::value & c2::value)
            , ( c1::value & c2::value )
            > c;
            
        typedef bitand_<c,c3,\ |...|\c\ *n*\>::type r; 

.. ..........................................................................

.. parsed-literal::

    typedef bitand_<c1,\ |...|\ c\ *n*\> r;

:Return type:
    |Integral Constant|.

:Semantics:
    Equivalent to
    
    .. parsed-literal::

        struct r : bitand_<c1,\ |...|\ c\ *n*\>::type {};


Complexity
----------

Amortized constant time.


Example
-------

.. parsed-literal::

    typedef integral_c<unsigned,0> u0;
    typedef integral_c<unsigned,1> u1;
    typedef integral_c<unsigned,2> u2;
    typedef integral_c<unsigned,8> u8;
    typedef integral_c<unsigned,0xffffffff> uffffffff;
    
    BOOST_MPL_ASSERT_RELATION( (bitand_<u0,u0>::value), ==, 0 );
    BOOST_MPL_ASSERT_RELATION( (bitand_<u1,u0>::value), ==, 0 );
    BOOST_MPL_ASSERT_RELATION( (bitand_<u0,u1>::value), ==, 0 );
    BOOST_MPL_ASSERT_RELATION( (bitand_<u0,uffffffff>::value), ==, 0 );
    BOOST_MPL_ASSERT_RELATION( (bitand_<u1,uffffffff>::value), ==, 1 );
    BOOST_MPL_ASSERT_RELATION( (bitand_<u8,uffffffff>::value), ==, 8 );
