std::bitset::reference

class reference;
Reference-like type
This embedded class is the type returned by bitset::operator[] when applied to non const-qualified bitset objects. It accesses individual bits with an interface that emulates a reference to a bool.

Its prototype is:

  bool operator~() const;                             // return inverse value
