Many Flags, One Byte

Settings are often just on-or-off switches. Packing them as bit fields stores many flags in a single tiny integer.

Booleans Take One Bit

Inside a packed struct, a bool occupies exactly one bit. Stack several together and they share a single byte.

const Mode = packed struct {
    bold: bool,
    italic: bool,
    underline: bool,
};

Mix Bools and Small Ints

A packed struct can blend flags with narrow integers, modeling a real register where each bit group means something.

const Reg = packed struct {
    enabled: bool,
    speed: u3,
    mode: u2,
};

Read a Flag by Name

You access each bit through its field name, so the code reads clearly even though the data is tightly packed.

var m = Mode{ .bold = true, .italic = false, .underline = false };
if (m.bold) {}

Flip a Flag

Set or clear a flag by assigning to the field. No bit masking by hand, Zig handles the bit math for you.

m.italic = true;

The Raw Bits View

Need the underlying number? @bitCast turns the flag struct into its backing integer for storage or comparison.

const bits: u3 = @bitCast(m);

Decode Incoming Bits

Reading bits from a file or device? Cast the raw integer back into your struct to decode it into named flags.

const incoming: u3 = 0b101;
const m: Mode = @bitCast(incoming);

Enums as Bit Fields

A field can be an enum with a small backing integer, giving named choices that still fit in just a few bits.

const Speed = enum(u2) { slow, medium, fast };

Why Bother Packing

Bit fields save memory and match hardware exactly, which matters in embedded code, drivers, and binary file formats.

Layout Stays Predictable

Because the struct is packed, the bit order never shifts. What you declare is what hardware and other programs will see.

Clear Code, Tight Data

The big win: you write readable field names while the data stays as compact as hand-rolled bit twiddling. 🎛️

Quick Check

Think about how much space a bool uses inside a packed struct.

Recap

You packed flags into one integer: bools take one bit, mix in narrow ints and enums, and @bitCast moves between struct and raw bits. 🎉
