One of Knuth's sources is the well-named book Hacker's Delight by Henry S. Warren; see hackersdelight.org ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe

If you haven't bought any of Knuth's fascicles yet, this is definitely the one to get. The Art of Computer Programming: Volume 4 Bitwise Tricks Techniques Binary Decision Diagrams Fascicle 1 Donald E. Knuth 2009 Describes basic broadword operations and an important class of data structures that can make computer programs run dozens - even thousands - of times faster. I started a Haskell program using bitwise operations and then discarded them thinking them to low level. I think one of the dangers of Haskell, is that I get carried away with medium and high level abstractions and think everything MUST be done that way. :) -- Regards, Casey ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe

I can't compare it with Knuth's fascicle, but the FXT book (linked to from http://www.jjj.de/fxt/) has a whole chapter on bit wizardry and is another excellent resource along these lines.
