Excellent breakdown of bitwise operators! The emphasis on using unsigned integer types to avoid undefined behavior from shifting negative values is crucial advice for embedded developers. I especially appreciate the practical flag management examples with set_flag, turn_off_flag, and toggle_flag helpers - these patterns come up constantly when working with hardware registers. The print_binary8 utility is also a handy debugging tool I'll be adding to my toolkit.
Thanks for reading! I’m glad my focus on unsigned types and the flag helpers matches what you have seen in embedded work. print_binary8 has helped me chase down plenty of odd register values, so I’m happy to hear you’ll be using it too!
