Why is it that languages don't support binary declaration?
Ex:int haxmyanus =1001b

Instead I am stuck with converting to hex....

But they do, silly!
#b1001
See?

C doesn't support binary because octal and hex are more concise ways of saying the same thing. Plenty of other languages such as Perl, Python and Ruby do support binary literals.

You know what really rustles my jimmies? When an assembler doesn't support direct binary literals.

D supports binary literals.

Many C compilers targeting smaller embedded things usually extend the language with binary literals and sometimes bit flip statements. Useful when you have 40 bytes of RAM (they call them ``General Purpose Registers'' though) to work with.

I've done this before:



#define BINARY_BYTE(b7,b6,b5,b4,b3,b2,b1,b0) \

 ( \

  ((b7)<<7) | \

  ((b6)<<6) | \

  ((b5)<<5) | \

  ((b4)<<4) | \

  ((b3)<<3) | \

  ((b2)<<2) | \

  ((b1)<<1) | \

  ((b0)<<0) \

 )

No, tell me.

No, I'm a father.

But please give me the answer!

My mom is dead, your little sister has a nice tight pooper, and gcc supports binary declaration.
