Message: [QUOTE="BartC, post: 4195312"] If you've made an error, then you will get wrong results. Specifying a bit range both ways is useful: some tend to use 0 to 31 for generic bit arrays, and 31 to 0 for bits within a word (which also matches the perceived order of the bits, with msb on the left, and lsb on the right). This is what I did when I had a similar sort of library. Of course, specifying 8 to 3 might also mean you want 3 to 8, but reversed; but here I'd be happier with a specific reversal function. Or, allowing 8 to 3 as a synonym for 3 to 8 could be an option. [/QUOTE]
