> The idea is that modifier (such as "!" would require a width argument (the signed representation only make sense in fixed width concepts as every assembly language programmer knows). Its presence would also imply the "0".
I would use the precision for this. Truncating the number of digits in integer representation is similar to truncating the number of characters for strings.
But actually I don't think we should add such feature in the core. It has very limited application. This can be implemented as a third-part library.
Actually I think the stdlib needs something like bitarray and/or bitset. The specially purposed types that allow testing and modifying separate bits and bit ranges. |
