class reference;

The std::bitset class includes std::bitset::reference as a publicly-accessible nested class. This class is used as a proxy object to allow users to interact with individual bits of a bitset, since standard C++ types (like references and pointers) are not built with enough precision to specify individual bits.

The primary use of std::bitset::reference is to provide an l-value that can be returned from operator[].

Any reads or writes to a bitset that happen via a std::bitset::reference potentially read or write to the entire underlying bitset.

Member functions

(constructor)	constructs the reference. Accessible only to std::bitset itself (public member function)
(destructor)	~reference (public member function)
operator=	assigns a bool to the referenced bit (public member function)
operator bool	returns the referenced bit (public member function)
operator ~	returns inverted referenced bit (public member function)
flip	flips the referenced bit (public member function)

std::bitset<N>::reference::~reference

~reference()

Destroys the reference.

std::bitset<N>::reference::operator=

reference& operator=( bool x ); reference& operator=( const reference& x );

Assigns a value to the referenced bit.
