BitVecRemoveRange

BitVecRemoveRange

Description

Remove multiple consecutive bits starting at a specific position. All bits after the removed range are shifted left.

Parameters

Name Direction Description
bv in,out Bitvector to remove from.
idx in Starting position (0-based), in [0, length).
count in Number of bits to remove; idx + count must not exceed the length.

Usage example (from documentation) 

  BitVecRemoveRange(&flags, 2, 3);  // Remove 3 bits starting at position 2

Success

Returns to the caller. Bitvector length shrinks by count; bits previously at indices >= idx + count have shifted left by count. Capacity is unchanged.

Failure

Function cannot fail. An out-of-range idx + count is a caller bug and aborts via LOG_FATAL.
