[Qt-interest] Question about bitfields

If QFlags is not what you are looking for then perhaps vanilla C++:

vector< unsigned char > bitfield;

was the best I could come up with. Boost has better alternatives, as does the 
new C++ standard library but I couldn't use them.

If the above will serve then this will be useful:

#ifndef BitOpsH
#define BitOpsH

#define ClearBit( buf, i )      ( ( buf )[ ( i ) / 8 ] &= ~ ( 1 << ( i ) % 8 ) )
#define SetBit( buf, i )        ( ( buf )[ ( i ) / 8 ] |= 1 << ( i ) % 8 )
#define GetBit( buf, i )        ( ( buf )[ ( i ) / 8 ] >> ( i ) % 8 & 1 )

#endif
