# Boost.Integer
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Boost.Integer, part of collection of the [Boost C++ Libraries](http://github.com/boostorg), provides
|
||
|
|
integer type support, particularly helpful in generic programming. It provides the means to select
|
||
|
|
an integer type based upon its properties, like the number of bits or the maximum supported value,
|
||
|
|
as well as compile-time bit mask selection. There is a derivative of `std::numeric_limits` that provides
|
||
|
|
integral constant expressions for `min` and `max`...
|
||
|
|
Finally, it provides two compile-time algorithms: determining the highest power of two in a.
|
||
|
|
compile-time value; and computing min and max of constant expressions.
