Function

GLib-2.0GLibbit_nth_msf

  • Find the position of the first bit set in mask, searching from (but not including) nth_bit downwards. Bits are numbered from 0 (least significant) to sizeof(gulong) * 8 - 1 (31 or 63, usually). To start searching from the last bit, set nth_bit to -1 or GLIB_SIZEOF_LONG * 8.

    Parameters

    • mask: number

      a gulong containing flags

    • nth_bit: number

      the index of the bit to start the search from

    Returns number

    the index of the first bit set which is lower than nth_bit, or -1 if no lower bits are set
