MODULE: vec_GF2
SUMMARY:
The class Vec<GF2> is explicitly specialized.
It behaves much like a generic Vec<T> (see vector.txt),
but there are some differences.
For efficiency, elements of a Vec<GF2> are "packed" into a word.
You can still use subscript notation v[i] or v(i).
For const vectors, these evaluate to values of type const GF2.
For non-const vectors, these evaluate to values of the
special type ref_GF2, which is defined in the GF2 header file.
There are implicit conversions from ref_GF2 to const GF2
and from GF2& to ref_GF2. Therefore, if you want to declare
a function that takes a non-const reference to a GF2, you
should declare the parameter of type ref_GF2: this will
allow you to pass variables of type GF2 as well as
elements of vec_GF2's obtained through indexing.
As an alternative, one can use the get and put methods below to access
vector elements.
There is one subtle but important difference in the semantics
of Vec<GF2> and that of generic NTL vectors. With a Vec<GF2>, whenever its
length is increased (via SetLength), the "new" bits are always 0.
For example, if v.length() == 20, then
v.SetLength(10); v.setLength(20);
will effectively clear bits 10..19 of v.
This is quite different from the semantics of generic NTL vectors, where
the above sequence would not change the value of v at all.
One has to be aware of this difference, but it will not matter
in most ordinary circumstances.
