Synopsis

// In header: <boost/intrusive/pointer_plus_bits.hpp>

template<typename T, std::size_t NumBits> 
struct pointer_plus_bits<T *, NumBits> {
  // types
  typedef T * pointer;

  // public static functions
  static pointer get_pointer(pointer) noexcept;
  static void set_pointer(pointer &, pointer) noexcept;
  static std::size_t get_bits(pointer) noexcept;
  static void set_bits(pointer &, std::size_t) noexcept;

  // public data members
  static const uintptr_t Mask;
};

Description

This is the specialization to embed extra bits of information in a raw pointer. The extra bits are stored in the lower bits of the pointer.
