[PATCH v2] rust: add new macro for common bitmap operations
From: Filipe Xavier
Date: Tue Mar 25 2025 - 09:35:43 EST
We have seen a proliferation of mod_whatever::foo::Flags
being defined with essentially the same implementation
for BitAnd, BitOr, contains and etc.
This macro aims to bring a solution for this,
allowing to generate these methods for user-defined structs.
With some use cases in KMS and VideoCodecs.
Small use sample:
`
const READ: Permission = Permission(1 << 0);
const WRITE: Permission = Permission(1 << 1);
impl_flags!(Permissions, Permission, u32);
let read_write = Permissions::from(READ) | WRITE;
let read_only = read_write & READ;
`

Changes in v2:
- rename: change macro and file name to impl_flags.
- negation sign: change char for negation to `!`.
- transpose docs: add support to transpose user provided docs.
- visibility: add support to use user defined visibility.
- operations: add new operations for flag,
to support use between bit and bitmap, eg: flag & flags.
- code style: small fixes to remove warnings.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250304-feat-add-bitmask-macro-v1-1-1c2d2bcb476b@xxxxxxxxx

+//! impl_flags utilities for working with flags.
+
+/// Declares a impl_flags type with its corresponding flag type.
+///
+/// This macro generates:
+/// - Implementations of common bitmask operations ([`BitOr`], [`BitAnd`], etc.).
+/// - Utility methods such as `.contains()` to check flags.
+///
+/// # Examples
+///
+/// Defining and using impl_flags:
+///
+/// ```
+/// impl_flags!(
+/// /// Represents multiple permissions.
+/// pub Permissions,
+/// /// Represents a single permission.
+/// pub Permission,
+/// u32
+/// );
+///
+/// // Define some individual permissions.
+/// const READ: Permission = Permission(1 << 0);
+/// const WRITE: Permission = Permission(1 << 1);
+/// const EXECUTE: Permission = Permission(1 << 2);
+///
+/// // Combine multiple permissions using operation OR (`|`).
+/// let read_write = Permissions::from(READ) | WRITE;
+///
+/// assert!(read_write.contains(READ));
+/// assert!(read_write.contains(WRITE));
+/// assert!(!read_write.contains(EXECUTE));
+///
+/// // Removing a permission with operation AND (`&`).
+/// let read_only = read_write & READ;
+/// assert!(read_only.contains(READ));
+/// assert!(!read_only.contains(WRITE));
+///
+/// // Toggling permissions with XOR (`^`).
+/// let toggled = read_only ^ Permissions::from(READ);
+/// assert!(!toggled.contains(READ));
+///
+/// // Inverting permissions with negation (`!`).
+/// let negated = !read_only;
+/// assert!(negated.contains(WRITE));
+/// ```
