## Usage

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

```toml
[dependencies]
bit-vec = "0.8"
```

Since Rust 2018, `extern crate` is no longer mandatory. If your edition is old (Rust 2015),
add this to your crate root:

```rust
extern crate bit_vec;
```

If you want [serde](https://github.com/serde-rs/serde) support, include the feature like this:

```toml
[dependencies]
bit-vec = { version = "0.8", features = ["serde"] }
```

If you want to use bit-vec in a program that has `#![no_std]`, just drop default features:

```toml
[dependencies]
bit-vec = { version = "0.8", default-features = false }
```

If you want to use serde with the alloc crate instead of std, just use the `serde_no_std` feature:

```toml
[dependencies]
bit-vec = { version = "0.8", default-features = false, features = ["serde", "serde_no_std"] }
```

If you want [borsh-rs](https://github.com/near/borsh-rs) support, include it like this:

```toml
[dependencies]
bit-vec = { version = "0.8", features = ["borsh"] }
```

Other available serialization libraries can be enabled with the
[`miniserde`](https://github.com/dtolnay/miniserde) and
[`nanoserde`](https://github.com/not-fl3/nanoserde) features.



### Description

Dynamic collections implemented with compact bit vectors.

### Examples

This is a simple example of the [Sieve of Eratosthenes][sieve]
which calculates prime numbers up to a given limit.

[sieve]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sieve_of_Eratosthenes

```rust
use bit_vec::BitVec;

let max_prime = 10000;

// Store the primes as a BitVec
let primes = {
    // Assume all numbers are prime to begin, and then we
    // cross off non-primes progressively
    let mut bv = BitVec::from_elem(max_prime, true);

    // Neither 0 nor 1 are prime
    bv.set(0, false);
    bv.set(1, false);

    for i in 2.. 1 + (max_prime as f64).sqrt() as usize {
        // if i is a prime
        if bv[i] {
            // Mark all multiples of i as non-prime (any multiples below i * i
            // will have been marked as non-prime previously)
            for j in i.. {
                if i * j >= max_prime {
                    break;
                }
                bv.set(i * j, false)
            }
        }
    }
    bv
};

// Simple primality tests below our max bound
let print_primes = 20;
print!("The primes below {} are: ", print_primes);
for x in 0..print_primes {
    if primes.get(x).unwrap_or(false) {
        print!("{} ", x);
    }
}
println!();

let num_primes = primes.iter().filter(|x| *x).count();
println!("There are {} primes below {}", num_primes, max_prime);
assert_eq!(num_primes, 1_229);
```
