xor_eq operator | Bitwise exclusive or assignment operator |
assignment-expr := logical-or-expr ^= assignment-expr | logical-or-expr xor_eq assignment-expr |
The xor_eq operator is an assignment operator that performs bitwise exclusive or. It is equivalent to logical-or-expr = logical-or-expr ^ assignment-expr, except that logical-or-expr is evaluated only once.
The keyword xor_eq is interchangeable with the ^= token.
unsigned bitmask = 0xFFF0; bitmask ^= 0x0F12; // bitmask becomes 0xF0E2.
