How to use bitmasks for large number of objects?

Revision en1, by manvscode, 2017-07-04 13:21:17

I found on many books regarding bitmasks and found out it is great way of representing selections,status, sets etc. But everywhere they have used an integer or long long int to define a bitmask. But that has a max capacity of 64/128 bits. How to represent more items with bits?
