Microsoft Specific**

Generate an instruction which examines bit b of the address a, returns its current value, and sets the bit to its complement.

Syntax

unsigned char _bittestandcomplement(  
   long *a,  
   long b  
);  
unsigned char _bittestandcomplement64(  
   __int64 *a,  
   __int64 b  
);  

Parameters

[in, out] a
A pointer to the memory to examine.

[in] b
The bit position to test.

Return Value

The bit at the position specified.

Requirements

Header file <intrin.h>

Remarks

This routine is only available as an intrinsic.

Example

// bittestandcomplement.cpp  
// processor: x86, IPF, x64  
#include <stdio.h>  
#include <intrin.h>  
  
#pragma intrinsic(_bittestandcomplement)  
#ifdef _M_AMD64  
#pragma intrinsic(_bittestandcomplement64)  
#endif  
  
int main()  
{  
   long i = 1;  
   __int64 i64 = 0x1I64;  
   unsigned char result;  
   printf("Initial value: %d\n", i);  
   printf("Testing bit 1\n");  
   result = _bittestandcomplement(&i, 1);  
   printf("Value changed to %d, Result: %d\n", i, result);  
#ifdef _M_AMD64  
   printf("Testing bit 0\n");  
   result = _bittestandcomplement64(&i64, 0);  
   printf("Value changed to %I64d, Result: %d\n", i64, result);  
#endif  
}  

Sample Output

Initial value: 1  
Testing bit 1  
Value changed to 3, Result: 0  
Testing bit 0  
Value changed to 0, Result: 1
