[Snippet] Byte Not

[Magtheridon96]

This snippet is used to do the Bitwise NOT operation. It takes one byte, meaning you have to input a number in the range [0x00 ... 0xff].

library ByteNot
    
    constant function B_NOT takes integer byte returns integer
        return 0xff - byte
    endfunction

    constant function NOT32 takes integer int returns integer
        return -int - 1
    endfunction
    
endlibrary

Feel free to comment.
Or not. This thing is too simple for that.

are you sure 1/0 crashes game? nestharus in his Alloc video says that it crashes thread, surely that wont crash the whole map

 

[Nestharus]

It crashes thread, not game

good catch edo

 

[Magtheridon96]

Yes, I know it crashes the thread and not the entire game, but I used 'map' to be general.
Either way, changed.

 

[Magtheridon96]

Updated.
It wasn't a good idea to call it ByteComplement, so I changed the entire thing.
It's called ByteNot now, because the name of the bitwise operation is NOT, but the operator used represents complements. (The reason why class destructors in C++ have it as a prefix )

 

[Magtheridon96]

Added Not32.

 

[edo494]

you should change description because it no longer crashes thread

 

[Magtheridon96]

Thanks for reminding me
Changed.

Does anyone else not think these three should be merged?

@TriggerHappy dude, I don't even understand why anyone would release byte(...) or (...)byte whateva, as a separate resources. Meaby the idea was to spam jass resources section?

All of them should be uploaded as a single snippet, meaby call it: BitwiseOperations or smthing.

Think about users too: instead of them adding: require BitwiseOperations, instead they have to add: byte_and, _or, _not, _xor, _shifts and others. Suddenly we got 7-8 requirements instead of elegant set of functions.

 

[Bribe]

I'm OK with grouping relevant resources now that Nestharus won't scrutinize every move I make and haunt my dreams.

 

[Magtheridon96]

Merge them all. In fact, there should be one library called Bitwise or BitwiseOperations. Maybe Bitwise works better.

Edit: moved.

Meaby it was inapproriate of me to post here thus I've moved snippet into lab to not spam Mag's thread, plus it's probably more convivient for you to have snippet at the top instead of looking through the thread. Everything might be subject to change.
