xl vba is bit set in 64-bit integer code example

Example: xl vba is specific bit set in longlong integer

'Extremely fast VBA function to test if a specified bit is set 
'within a 64-bit LongLong integer.

'Bits are numbered from 0 to 63, so the first (least significant) bit
'is bit 0.

'Note: we do not inspect bit 63, the sign bit.
'Note: the LongLong data type is only available in 64-bit VBA.


Function LongLongBitIsSet(theLongLong^, bit As Byte) As Boolean
    Static i&, b^()
    If (Not Not b) = 0 Then
        ReDim b(0 To 62)
        For i = 0 To 62
            b(i) = 2 ^ i
        Next
    End If
    If bit < 63 Then LongLongBitIsSet = theLongLong And b(bit)
End Function
