c - 为什么对 C 枚举定义中的值使用 Bitwise-Shift 运算符？

Question

Apple 有时会在他们的enum 定义中使用 Bitwise-Shift 运算符。例如，在属于 Core Graphics 的 CGDirectDisplay.h 文件中:

enum {
  kCGDisplayBeginConfigurationFlag  = (1 << 0),
  kCGDisplayMovedFlag           = (1 << 1),
  kCGDisplaySetMainFlag         = (1 << 2),
  kCGDisplaySetModeFlag         = (1 << 3),
  kCGDisplayAddFlag         = (1 << 4),
  kCGDisplayRemoveFlag          = (1 << 5),
  kCGDisplayEnabledFlag         = (1 << 8),
  kCGDisplayDisabledFlag        = (1 << 9),
  kCGDisplayMirrorFlag          = (1 << 10),
  kCGDisplayUnMirrorFlag        = (1 << 11),
  kCGDisplayDesktopShapeChangedFlag = (1 << 12)
};
typedef uint32_t CGDisplayChangeSummaryFlags;

为什么不像在“普通”枚举中那样简单地使用递增的int？

也许以十六进制(或二进制)形式编写值会有所帮助:-)

enum {
  kCGDisplayBeginConfigurationFlag  = (1 << 0), /* 0b0000000000000001 */
  kCGDisplayMovedFlag               = (1 << 1), /* 0b0000000000000010 */
  kCGDisplaySetMainFlag             = (1 << 2), /* 0b0000000000000100 */
  kCGDisplaySetModeFlag             = (1 << 3), /* 0b0000000000001000 */
  kCGDisplayAddFlag                 = (1 << 4), /* 0b0000000000010000 */
  kCGDisplayRemoveFlag              = (1 << 5), /* 0b0000000000100000 */
  kCGDisplayEnabledFlag             = (1 << 8), /* 0b0000000100000000 */
  kCGDisplayDisabledFlag            = (1 << 9), /* 0b0000001000000000 */
  kCGDisplayMirrorFlag              = (1 << 10),/* 0b0000010000000000 */
  kCGDisplayUnMirrorFlag            = (1 << 11),/* 0b0000100000000000 */
  kCGDisplayDesktopShapeChangedFlag = (1 << 12) /* 0b0001000000000000 */
};

现在您可以添加它们(或“或”它们)并获得不同的值

kCGDisplayAddFlag | kCGDisplayDisabledFlag /* 0b0000001000010000 */
