+
+<p>Instead of collecting sets of options in a list, it is also possible to
+gather information for enum values in a bit vector.  The represention used by
+the <a href="#bits"><tt>cl::bits</tt></a> class is an <tt>unsigned long</tt>
+integer.  An enum value is represented by a 0/1 in the enum's ordinal value bit
+position. 1 indicating that the enum was specified, 0 otherwise.  As each
+specified value is parsed, the resulting enum's bit is set in the option's bit
+vector:</p>
+
+<div class="doc_code"><pre>
+  <i>bits</i> |= 1 << (unsigned)<i>enum</i>;
+</pre></div>
+
+<p>An option specified more than once is redundant as far as the result is
+concerned. The argument position information is however updated.</p>
+
+<p>Reworking the above list example, we could replace <a href="#list">
+<tt>cl::list</tt></a> with <a href="#bits"><tt>cl::bits</tt></a>:</p>
+
+<div class="doc_code"><pre>
+<a href="#cl::bits">cl::bits</a>&lt;Opts&gt; OptimizationBits(<a href="#cl::desc">cl::desc</a>("<i>Available Optimizations:</i>"),
+  <a href="#cl::values">cl::values</a>(
+    clEnumVal(dce               , "<i>Dead Code Elimination</i>"),
+    clEnumVal(constprop         , "<i>Constant Propagation</i>"),
+   clEnumValN(inlining, "<i>inline</i>", "<i>Procedure Integration</i>"),
+    clEnumVal(strip             , "<i>Strip Symbols</i>"),
+  clEnumValEnd));
+</pre></div>
+
+<p>To test to see if <tt>constprop</tt> was specified, we can use the
+<tt>cl:bits::isSet</tt> function:</p>
+
+<div class="doc_code"><pre>
+  if (OptimizationBits.isSet(constprop)) {
+    ...
+  }
+</pre></div>
+
+<p>It's also possible to get the raw bit vector using the
+<tt>cl::bits::getBits</tt> function:</p>
+
+<div class="doc_code"><pre>
+  unsigned long bits = OptimizationBits.getBits();
+</pre></div>
+
+<p>Finally, if external storage is used, then the location specified must be of
+type <tt>unsigned long</tt>. In all other ways a <a
+href="#bits"><tt>cl::bits</tt></a> option is morally equivalent to a <a
+href="#list"> <tt>cl::list</tt></a> option</p>

+<p>The <tt>cl::bits</tt> class is the class used to represent a list of command
