**UPD: Unfortunately, left / right shift is bugged and doesn't clear bits [properly](https://codeforces.com/blog/entry/129454?#comment-1157481). It should be fine for other operations, but use it at your own risk.**↵

Hello sirs, you might know that Boost has a dynamically sized bitset class, but did you know that GCC also has one? Turns out it's included in the tr2 folder. You can simply include the `<tr2/dynamic_bitset>` header, and use it as `std::tr2::dynamic_bitset`. **Yes, it works on Codeforces.** ↵

In some problems, we might not be able to use a constant sized bitset. For example, on [problem:1856E2]. Here's a submission where we replaced [user:neal,2024-05-13]'s custom_bitset template with `using custom_bitset = tr2::dynamic_bitset<>;`, and got accepted with little performance difference ([submission:260853192], original [submission:217308610]).↵

The implementation of the bitset seems identical to a version of Boost's dynamic bitset, so you can read the docs [here](https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_33_1/libs/dynamic_bitset/dynamic_bitset.html). You can view the source [here](https://github.com/gcc-mirror/gcc/blob/master/libstdc%2B%2B-v3/include/tr2/dynamic_bitset).↵

Comparing to std::bitset, here are some notable things I saw:↵
↵
- They include more set operations, such as set difference, and checking if a bitset is a subset of another bitset. ↵
- They include lexicographical comparisons between bitsets. ↵
- You can append single bits, as well as whole blocks (i.e. integers)↵
- You can also resize it like a vector. (For some reason there's no pop_back though...)↵
- Find first and find next are also supported, without weird function names like in std::bitset. Unfortunately, there's still no find previous :(↵
- You can specify the word type and allocator as template arguments. ↵
↵
Of course, it also has all the normal std::bitset functionality. However, I'm not sure how fast this is compared to std::bitset; you can let me know in the comments. Interestingly, it seems to be using 64 bit integers on Codeforces.↵
