Tracking issue: #147702

This PR implements the bit and set_bit methods for integral types:

impl u8 {
    pub const fn bit(self, index: u32) -> bool;

    pub const fn set_bit(self, index: u32, value: bool) -> Self;
}

impl u16 {
    pub const fn bit(self, index: u32) -> bool;

    pub const fn set_bit(self, index: u32, value: bool) -> Self;
}

impl u32 {
    pub const fn bit(self, index: u32) -> bool;

    pub const fn set_bit(self, index: u32, value: bool) -> Self;
}

impl u64 {
    pub const fn bit(self, index: u32) -> bool;

    pub const fn set_bit(self, index: u32, value: bool) -> Self;
}

impl u128 {
    pub const fn bit(self, index: u32) -> bool;

    pub const fn set_bit(self, index: u32, value: bool) -> Self;
}

impl usize {
    pub const fn bit(self, index: u32) -> bool;

    pub const fn set_bit(self, index: u32, value: bool) -> Self;
}

impl i8 {
    pub const fn bit(self, index: u32) -> bool;

    pub const fn set_bit(self, index: u32, value: bool) -> Self;
}

impl i16 {
    pub const fn bit(self, index: u32) -> bool;

    pub const fn set_bit(self, index: u32, value: bool) -> Self;
}

impl i32 {
    pub const fn bit(self, index: u32) -> bool;

    pub const fn set_bit(self, index: u32, value: bool) -> Self;
}

impl i64 {
    pub const fn bit(self, index: u32) -> bool;

    pub const fn set_bit(self, index: u32, value: bool) -> Self;
}

impl i128 {
    pub const fn bit(self, index: u32) -> bool;

    pub const fn set_bit(self, index: u32, value: bool) -> Self;
}

impl isize {
    pub const fn bit(self, index: u32) -> bool;

    pub const fn set_bit(self, index: u32, value: bool) -> Self;

Not sure if this detail was discussed on the ACP, but the name set_bit reads to me like its signature should be (&mut self, i: u32, value: bool) -> () and not (as implemented here) (self, i: u32, value: bool) -> Self, which I'd call with_bit_set or with_bit.

Or perhaps just with_bit (given that value does not need to be set)? But I'm inclined to agree.

[hanna-kruppe]

I glossed over the value argument entirely when I wrote my first comment (edited now). Once I've noticed value I also have questions about it. To be honest, skimming the ACP discussion again, it seems like the setter half wasn't really clearly defined before being given a name and stamp of approval (e.g., two comments by @bjoernager disagreed over whether set_bit has a value parameter or not).

two comments by @bjoernager disagreed over whether set_bit has a value parameter or not).

My latter comment should've had the value parameter as well (fixed now).

Thank you @bjoernager for implementing (and probably championing) this 💜.

Fwiw I also think with_bit is probably the better name. If the doc comments of bit included a "see also with_bit" (and vice versa, for consistency), that could help people find the setter despite the perhaps initially unexpected name.

Suggestions seemed very rational to me and have all been implemented. Let me know if there are any other issues with the implementation, @dtolnay. :D

You might want to implement more test coverage in library/coretests/tests/num/int_macros.rs and /library/coretests/tests/num/uint_macros.rs. Don't forget to add the feature to library/coretests/tests/lib.rs.

These are also good suggestions that haven't been implemented yet (or not pushed?). The doc tests cover the logic but don't test e.g. const evaluation

The <$int>::bit() function is useful on its own and has received concerns so far. Shall we split this feature into two, like int_get_bit and int_set_bit? while stabilizing int_get_bit, int_set_bit could still receive further improvements. What do you think?
