  Description     : Portable Roaring bitmaps in C (and C++)

 Bitsets, also called bitmaps, are commonly used as fast data structures.
 Unfortunately, they can use too much memory. To compensate, we often use
 compressed bitmaps.
 Roaring bitmaps are compressed bitmaps which tend to outperform conventional
 compressed bitmaps such as WAH, EWAH or Concise.
