non-standard extensions not enabled when using C++20 <bit>

[electricbrass]

I have a project using this to provide the bit functions on C++17. I am working toward updating it to C++20, and when I did so, I realized all the extensions were no longer defined. It looks like when <bit> is used instead of the nonstd implementation for the standard features, it also disables all the extensions. Switching back with bit_CONFIG_SELECT_BIT works, but I would have expected the extensions to be available regardless of which implementation is used for the standard bit functions.

Thanks for the heads-up.

That sounds like a reasonable expectation.

From the top of my head, I think this is also the behaviour of other nonstd lite libraries as it may not have been a conscious goal and as there may be interactions that may make it not as easy as desired.

I'll take a look if it can be reasonably easily changed to combine extensions with std bit.

Next up is to release bit-lite v2.0:

• here.
• nonstd-bit-lite on vcpkg.
