Re: Bit flags...

[emacstheviking]

My final solution is this, which works and doesn't use global state:

accflag(0x0001, public).

accflag(0x0010, final).

accflag(0x0020, super).

accflag(0x0200, interface).

accflag(0x0400, abstract).

access_flags(Value, Output) :-

    findall(X, flag_check(Value, X), Output).

flag_check(Value, Output) :-

    accflag(B, Output),

    On is Value /\ B,

    On > 0.

Many thanks to Michał Bieliński for invaluable assistance, well, the answer pretty much, I just have to grok it now!

Excellent! :)

Until this point it sounds easy.

Bit positions those are not. They are bit values.

Those are bit positions:
accflag(0, public).
accflag(4, final).
accflag(5, super).
accflag(9, interface).
accflag(10, abstract).

My way:

access_flags(Value, Output) :-
    findall(X, flag_check(Value, X), Output).

flag_check(Value, Output) :-
    accflag(X, Output),
    g_assign(z, Value),
    g_test_set_bit(z, X).

Just out of curiosity, how do you count the time? From your first hello
world? From first year of working as programmer? Something else?
