#include <boost/bit_logic/assign.hpp> 
  bit_set_functor set ( BitType bit_store ) ; 

The set function returns a functor object whose operator() member functions are used to set bit values on individual bits, or ranges of bit within its constructed Bit Type.

For example:

  uint16_t test = 0 ; 
  set(test)(15,12)(8)(2)(0) ; 
  cout << hex << test << endl ;

This code will output:

  f015

This syntactic form can also be used for single bit assginments.

This code can throw the following exceptions :

std::logic_error	index range incorrect
bit_logic::out_of_bounds	Indexing out of bounds of bit_storage type
bit_logic::runtime_error	functor object destruction with out any operator's being called
