`GF2::Matrix` — Pack Bit-Matrix into a Bit-Vector

Packs the bit-matrix into a bit-vector.

constexpr Vector<Block, Allocator> to_vector(bool by_rows = true) const;

By default this returns a bit-vector with all the elements of the bit-matrix stored row by row. If the argument by_rows is set to false the return bit-vector will have the elements of the bit-matrix stored column by column.

Example

#include <GF2/GF2.h>
int main()
{
    GF2::Matrix<> m(4, [](std::size_t i, std::size_t) { return (i)%2; });   (1)
    auto vrow = m.to_vector();                                              (2)
    auto vcol = m.to_vector(false);                                         (3)
    std::cout << "Original:\n" << m    << '\n';
    std::cout << "By row: "    << vrow << '\n';
    std::cout << "By col: "    << vcol << '\n';
    std::cout << "From row:\n" << GF2::Matrix(vrow, 4) << '\n';             (4)
    std::cout << "From col:\n" << GF2::Matrix(vcol, 4, false) << '\n';      (5)
}

1	Construct a bit-matrix that has rows which alternate between all zeros and all ones.
2	Pack the bit-matrix in a bit-vector row by row.
3	Pack the bit-matrix in a bit-vector column by column.
4	Reconstitute a bit-matrix from the row by row bit-vector.
5	Reconstitute a bit-matrix from the column by column bit-vector.
